This email is to advise you that the Council needs to extend the due date
of your response for 10 working days, pursuant to section 14(1)(b) of the
LGOIMA, as consultations necessary to make a decision on the request are
such that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made

19 February 2026.

 

You have the right, by way of complaint under section 27(3) of the LGOIMA,
to request an investigation and review of WCC’s decision to extend by the
Ombudsman. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
