Kia ora Erika

Thank you for your request for information

 

I have attached an information sheet on our processes and requirements
under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987.

LGOIMA requires us to provide you with information no later than 20
working days after receiving your request. Your request will take longer
than usual. This is because the days commencing 20 December and ending 10
January are not counted as working days. This is explained in section 2(1)
of LGOIMA and at the Ombudsman's website
[1]http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.

We will respond to your request as soon as possible and in any event no
later than 20 working days after the day your request was received. This
will be by 04/02/2025

 

We can advise that in accordance with section 12 of the Local Government
Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA) we have also partially
transferred your request to Auckland Transport to respond. This is because
the requested information is believed to be closely aligned with the
functions of Auckland Transport

 

 

If you have further questions, please feel free to contact Fernanda Maciel
via [2][Auckland Council request email] quoting reference above
