Dear Tim
Thank you for your Official Information Act request of 21 June 2020 for information
on possum monitoring at Oronui in the Raukumara Forest Park. On 28 June 2020
you clarified your request as seeking the following information:
Who did it, when, gps data from assessor, number of traps used, spacings,
was it pre-fed, all photos taken during assessment.
This letter is to advise you that we are extending the 20 working day period to
respond to your request, as allowed under section 15A(1) of the Official Information
Act 1982. We require an additional 15 working days to respond to your request. We
will send you a response no later than
14 August 2020.
The extension of time is necessary as the consultations necessary to make a decision
on the request mean that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made
within the original time limit.
You have the right, under section 28(3) of the Official Information Act to make a
complaint to an Ombudsman about the extension.
Yours sincerely,
Hilary Aikman
Director Operations Issues and Programmes
