Dear Fire and Emergency New Zealand,

Please provide the following information relating to the all gender accessible (gender neutral) ablutions at the Luggate Fire Station:

The total cost of the all gender accessible ablutions.

A breakdown of costs, if available (for example: design, construction, fixtures, compliance, or other components).

The funding source(s) for the ablutions (for example, Fire and Emergency New Zealand capital funding, local contributions, or any third-party funding).

If any part of this request is refused, please specify the relevant section of the Act relied upon.

If the information is held by another agency, I would appreciate the request being transferred under section 14 of the Act.

I am happy to receive the response by email.
