Subject: Official Information request - Regulatory external review and
restructure

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

 

I am requesting information relating to the external review of Waka
Kotahi’s regulatory functions conducted by MartinJenkins and how its
findings have informed both the Phase 1 restructure and planning for Phase
2.

 

To keep the scope focused, I am specifically requesting the following:

 

1. The MartinJenkins external review outputs – the final report, and – any
draft, interim, or summary versions held by Waka Kotahi.

 

2. Documents that record how findings from the MartinJenkins review were
used to develop restructuring options for Phase 1 and inform planning for
Phase 2.

This includes ELT, SLT, or governance papers that reference or rely on the
review.

 

3. Any options analysis, advice, or recommendations provided to senior
leaders describing how the MartinJenkins findings were considered,
adopted, modified, or not adopted.

 

4. Documents that explain changes made between the proposed Phase 1
structure issued for consultation and the final approved structure,
including the rationale for these changes.

(For clarity, this is not a request for all emails, only the
decision-making documents or advice that records the reasons for altering
the proposal.)

 

If multiple versions of any document exist, please provide the most recent
versions held at the time of the Phase 1 decision and any current versions
relating to Phase 2.

 

Yours faithfully,

John Stewart
