Dear Dan
Information Request –
Report to the Minister documents
I refer to your official information request dated 7 May 2019 asking for a copy of all reports to the
Minister from the New Zealand Fire Service and Fire and Emergency New Zealand from January
2013 onwards.
The Official Information Act 1982 (
OIA) requires that we advise you of our decision on your
request no later than 20 working days after the day we received your request. Unfortunately, it
will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are therefore writing to notify you of an
extension of the time to make our decision, to 2 July 2019.
The reason for the extension is that consultations necessary to make a decision on your request
are such that a proper response to your request cannot reasonably be made within the original
time limit.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.
Information about how to make a complaint is availab
le at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or
freephone 0800 802 602.
Yours sincerely
Kathryn Perham
Senior Advisor, Office of the Chief Executive
