Dear Harriet

 

Transfer of request made under the Official Information Act 1982

 

Thank you for your email of 4 May 2017 requesting the following
information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):

 

‘Back in November I made a request for the Third Main Business Case & was
rejected in January as was before Minister of Transport & the KiwiRail
Board.

 

Has the Business Case now been considered and thus can be released to me?’

 

This letter is to advise you that the NZ Transport Agency is transferring
your request as the information is more closely connected with the
functions of KiwiRail. Since the time of your last request, the Transport
Agency has handed over the work on the business case to KiwiRail.

Accordingly we are transferring your request under section 14 of the Act.

 

You will therefore receive further correspondence on your request from
KiwiRail.

 

Regards

 

Official Correspondence Unit

Office of the Chief Executive

National Office / Victoria Arcade, 50 Victoria Street,
Private Bag 6995, Wellington 6141, New Zealand

Good afternoon Harriet

 

After consideration, KiwiRail has decided to publicly release an updated
version of this document and it is now available on KiwiRail’s website, at
the following link:

 

[1]http://www.kiwirail.co.nz/uploads/Public...

 

An explanation of the information withheld within the Business Case can be
found in the following document, also on KiwiRail’s website:

 

[2]http://www.kiwirail.co.nz/uploads/Public...

 

“Wiri to Westfield – The Case for Investment” is a final draft business
case that KiwiRail included in its Crown funding proposals for FY17/18. 
KiwiRail collaborated with NZTA and Auckland Transport during the
preparation of the document, but neither of those agencies has formally
adopted or approved it. The business case is a KiwiRail document. The
document footer naming NZTA is a formatting error and NZTA should not be
considered to be the author of the document.

Official Correspondence Unit
