Dear Julie
Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request dated 10 February 2021 (ref OIA 20/21 0439)
The Department is extending the deadline for responding to the above OIA request to 31
March 2021 under section 15A(1)(a) of the OIA.
This extension is required because the request is for a large quantity of official information
and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with the operations of the
Department.
If you are dissatisfied with the Department’s decision on your request for information, you
have the right, under section 28 of the OIA, to make a complaint to the Office of the
Ombudsman. The Office of the Ombudsman can be contacted by phone on 0800 802 602,
via post at PO Box 10152 Wellington or via email to [email address].
Yours sincerely
Chris Thornborough
Director
Regulatory System Gambling
