Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

I request the following information relating to water leaks, plumbing failures, or water-damage-related maintenance across all properties that are owned, managed, leased, or otherwise occupied by MBIE, including—where applicable—offices, regional premises, storage facilities, archives, or co-located service centres:

The date, address, and facility/building name for each recorded incident involving water leaks, plumbing failures, burst pipes, roof or ceiling leaks, or other forms of water ingress, between 1 January 2019 and 12 October 2025.

A brief description of each incident and, where applicable, the identified cause (e.g., infrastructure degradation, weather event, accidental damage, etc.).

The type of work undertaken (e.g., temporary repair, full replacement, waterproofing, plumbing upgrade, etc.).

The contractor name or internal business unit responsible for the work.

The total cost of each repair, broken down by labour, materials, and associated fees (where available).

Whether the cost was covered by insurance, or by MBIE’s operational or capital budgets.

Thank you.
