I refer to your official information request dated for the John Bell
report

The OIA requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no
later than 20 working days after the day we received your request.
Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our
decision, to 30 April 2026.

This extension is necessary because consultations necessary to make a
decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably
be made within the original time limit.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at:
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

Dear Kâinga Ora–Homes and Communities,

Under the Official Information Act 1982, I request a copy of the report
prepared by John Bell of Rojo Consulting Limited, referenced in your 23
April 2025 OIA response titled “Spending on External Consultants.”

Specifically, I request:
        1.      The full and final report (including all appendices,
attachments, executive summaries, and recommendations) prepared by John
Bell / Rojo Consulting Limited relating to the review of Kâinga Ora’s
technology environment.
        2.      Any associated presentation decks, briefing papers, or
summary documents provided to the Board, Executive Leadership Team, or
senior management arising from this report.
        3.      Any formal response, action plan, or implementation
roadmap developed by Kâinga Ora as a result of the report’s findings.

If any part of this request is likely to be refused under section 18 of
the Act, I request that:
        •       You consider consulting with me to refine the request; and
        •       You release any reasonably severable information under
section 17.

I request the information in electronic format.

Please confirm receipt of this request. I look forward to your response
within the statutory timeframe of 20 working days.

Yours faithfully,

Dan
