For clarity, I am particularly interested in information about

Your request is being considered under the Local Government Official
Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA).
This email is to seek clarification on your request. As currently worded,
your request would require the collation and assessment of a considerable
number of documents from the Council’s systems. To enable us to provide
you with a timely response, and in accordance with our obligations under
section 17B of the LGOIMA, we wish to clarify if there is
anything particular you require. If so, the Council recommends refining
your request to be for a narrower scope of information if possible. Should
the request not be refined, it is likely that the request will be
refused pursuant to section 17(f) of the LGOIMA, as the information
requested cannot be made available without substantial collection or
research.
Refinements can be for a specific section of cycleway or specific
Connections project. These projects can be found here - [1]Wellington
City Council transport projects
To enable us to meet our obligations under the LGOIMA, we would be
grateful for your response as soon as possible, but by no later than 7
July.
Please note, any clarification or amendment of a request is considered to
be a new request for the purpose of calculating
the maximum statutory timeframe for response—see section 13(7) of the
LGOIMA.
If you require further information, please
contact [2][Wellington City Council request email].

Hi there,
Can you please clarify what part(s) of the request you suspect might require substantial collation or research? They all seem to be things that a cycleways manager might have available to them, and I have only asked for 2 financial years of information.
To clarify I am interested in the whole network, not only one part.
Yours sincerely,
B. White
