Thank you for your request of 7 March 2026 to Fire and Emergency New Zealand requesting
information relating to asset management plans. Your request has been considered under the
Official Information Act 1982 (OIA), and we copy and respond to each aspect of your request
below.
•
The asset management plans have undergone external evaluation to validate planning
assumptions and cost models, and to provide a benchmark to support our asset
management maturity journey.
•
Please provide A, B, C, D, E & F relating to asset management plan:
A) The party/list of parties who did these external evaluations
B) The external deliverables by these external parties
C) Terms of engagement that led to these external evaluation
D) The current asset management plans that are being implemented
E) Current cost models
In line with our obligations under the OIA to make and communicate our decision on your request
within the statutory timeframe, we have decided to grant these aspects of your request. However,
it will take us a little more time to prepare the information for release. The information will be
provided to you without undue delay and no later than 26 June 2026. Some information wil be
withheld under the fol owing sections of the OIA:
• 9(2)(a), to protect the privacy of natural persons.
• 9(2)(b)(ii), to maintain the effective conduct of public affairs through the free and frank
expression of opinions by or between or to Ministers of the Crown or members of an
organisation or officers and employees of any public service agency or organisation in the
course of their duty; and
• 9(2)((j), to enable a Minister of the Crown or any public service agency or organisation
holding the information to carry on, without prejudice or disadvantage, negotiations
(including commercial and industrial negotiations)
In making the above decisions, we have considered the public interest considerations in section
9(1) of the OIA.
F) Current benchmark to support our asset management maturity journey
Fire and Emergency does not have a current benchmark. The previous benchmarking was
completed in 2022. For this reason, this aspect of your request is refused under section 18(e) of
the OIA, as the document al eged to contain the information does not exist.
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 www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or
freephone 0800 802 602.
We trust that the information being provided is of assistance. If you require further information,
please email [FENZ request email]
