Fire Control Expenditure 2015/16

Alan Thompson made this Official Information request to Department of Conservation

The request was successful.

From: Alan Thompson

Director General
Department of Conservation,

Dear Sir,

In an email exchange early March 2016 we agreed that the Department would provide me a breakdown of the money spent on fire control in the 2015/16 year. This request resulted from the DoC annual report as tabled to Parliament recording expenditure of just over $900,000 for the year. This compared to a figures of around $12m reported for previous years.

Your advice was that DoC had changed the way it was reporting and that the "fire control" spend was actually $10.9m for 2015/16. You undertook to have your Office assist me with a breakdown of the $10.9m and the entities/amounts to whom DoC granted money for fire control.

A month on and several further requests to your Office has not resulted in this information as we agreed.

I now formally request this information as outlined above under the provisions of the Official Information Act.

I look forward to your early response.

Yours faithfully,

Alan Thompson
