NZTA Follow up

Lewis T made this Official Information request to Statistics New Zealand

The request was refused by Statistics New Zealand.

From: Lewis T

Dear Statistics New Zealand,

Thank you for your response of 8 December 2025
https://fyi.org.nz/request/32802-idi-cra....

As you stated that no single document sets out the "reasons" for the pause in work on the Crash Analysis System (CAS) data integration I am requesting the following:

The Latest Data Quality Assessment: The final version of any technical report, "Fit-for-Purpose" analysis, or Data Quality Assessment (DQA) produced by Stats NZ regarding the CAS dataset prior to the mid-2024 pause.

The Prioritisation Decision Paper: The specific internal briefing, memo, or ranking document provided to the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) in 2024 that identified the "competing priority work" and recommended the suspension of the CAS data integration workstream.

The Official Project Pause/Exit Note: The formal Project Closure Report, "Pause" memorandum, or the final Project Status Report (PSR) that officially recorded the decision to halt the integration work in mid-2024.

I am requesting the latest existing versions of these specific artifacts to avoid the need for substantial collation. If these documents do not exist, please confirm if the project was initiated and paused without formal technical evaluation or project management documentation.

Yours faithfully,

Lewis T
