As your requests are for a large quantity of official information or
necessitate a search through a large quantity of information and meeting
the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with the operations
of the University, and consultations necessary to make a decision on your
requests are such that a response cannot reasonably be given within the
original time limit, the University has extended the time limit for your
request until 15 July 2026 under section 15A(1)(a) and (b) of the OIA.
This is the new maximum time limit for the University’s response; we will
respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable.
You have the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are
dissatisfied with this extension.
Your sincerely, 

Landon Watt
Legal Advisor
Office of the Vice-Chancellor
