Dear Tony
Extension of time to respond to request made under the Official Information Act 1982
Thank you for your email
of 25 June 2020 requesting the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
Can LGWM please provide a copy of all correspondence it has had with KiwiRail for the past
two years?
Can LGWM please provide a copy of the attendance, agendas and meeting minutes/notes for
all meetings that LGWM has had where KiwiRail was invited to attend for the past two years?
Can LGWM please provide a copy of any reports, submissions or information request
responses received from KiwiRail for the past two years?
The NZ Transport Agency is extending the 20 working days available to respond to your request, as
allowed for under section 15A of the Act. We require an additional seven working days to respond to
your request. We will send you a response on or before 3 August 2020.
The deadline is being extended because of the consultations necessary to make a decision on your
request. A thorough response to your request cannot reasonably be made within the 20 working day
limit.
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to
extend this request. The contact details for the Ombudsman can be located at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
If you would like to discuss the extension with the Transport Agency, please email
[NZTA request email].
Yours sincerely
Leisa Coley
Manager, Ministerial Services
