Dear Tony
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?
Please find attached six documents that are within the scope of your request for correspondence.
Some information is withheld as detailed in the document schedule. Please note, KiwiRail are on the
mailing list for LGWM newsletters. Copies of these newsletters are available online at lgwm.nz/lgwm-
news/category/newsletters/
With respect to the information that has been withheld, I do not consider there are any other factors
which would render it desirable, in the public interest, to make the information available.
Your requests for 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 and for reports, submissions or
information request responses received from KiwiRail for the past two years are refused under section
18(e) of the Act as the documents requested do not exist or, despite reasonable efforts to locate it,
cannot be found.
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to
withhold information and refuse portions of this request. The contact details for the Ombudsman can
be located at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
If you would like to discuss this reply with the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, please Mel Weddell,
Communications & Engagement Manager, by email to [email address]
