If the requested information is held in electronic form, I would prefer it was provided in its complete
and original electronic format. I would also prefer that all communications with respect to this OIA
request be via the FYI web site.”
It is necessary for Greater Wellington Regional Council to extend the time available to it to answer
your request to Friday, 22 September 2017. This decision is made pursuant to section 14 of the
Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (the Act) on the basis that your
request is for a large quantity of information and meeting the original 20 working day time limit
would unreasonably interfere with the operations of Greater Wellington Regional Council.
You have the right, under section 27(3) of the Act, to make a complaint about this extension to the
Ombudsman.
Yours sincerely
Angus Gabara
General Manager, Public Transport (Acting)
