Advice on irrigation / water storage

Alex Harris made this Official Information request to Damien O'Connor

The request was partially successful.

From: Alex Harris

Dear Damien O'Connor,

I would like to request the following information under the OIA:

* All advice (including but not limited to briefings, aide memoires, reports and cabinet papers) on irrigation / water storage received since the Minister took office.

This covers a period of less than 4 months, so there should be be a great deal of material or require substantial collation and research. If it does, then I would be happy to receive a list of this advice (with dates and titles of documents) to enable a more detailed followup-request.

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.

With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Harris
