You have requested:  
   
Please advise the total amount invoiced to your Council by
Wellington-based “Agite Consulting Limited” and “Pollock Consulting

Please note that on 10 January 2024 “Pollock Consulting Limited” changed
its name to “Agite Consulting Limited”.  This LGOIMA request covers both
company names.
   
We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible and, in
any event, no later than 16 January 2026, being 20 working days after the
day your request was received.  Please note that the period from December
24, 2025, to January 12, 2026, inclusive, is excluded from the definition

If we are unable to respond to your request by the statutory deadline, we
will notify you of an extension of that timeframe.  For requests that are

charge for staff time; however, if this is the case, we will advise you
before we process your request.    
     
The legal team is handling your request. If you have any questions, please
feel free to contact the team at [1][email address]. If
any additional factors relevant to your request come to light, please do
