Kia ora Donna

 

Thank you for your email to the NZ Police on 30 May 2021 requesting
correspondence regarding Bike Auckland’s Liberate the Lane event on 30 May
2021. NZ Police transferred your request partially to Waka Kotahi NZ
Transport Agency on 31 May 2021. We would like to clarify the following
part of your request

 

“Please provide correspondence by email or text addressed to…Waka
Kotahi…regarding Bike Auckland's Liberate the Lane rally at Pt Erin on
Sunday 30 May”

 

Can you please kindly advise if you are asking for external correspondence
received by Waka Kotahi regarding the Liberate Lane event on 30 May 2021?

 

Once you provide this clarification, we will continue to work on your
request. We’re looking forward to hearing back from you soon.

 

Ngâ mihi

Just letting you know that I am not able to transfer one portion of your
request, as I have been informed that Julie Anne Gentre is not a Minister,
and is therefore not covered by the OIA. Police, the Minister of Police
and Waka Kotahi will be responding to your request separately.

Tēnā koe Donna,

 

On behalf of the Minister of Police, Hon Poto Williams, I acknowledge your
email of 15 July 2021 following up on the Minister’s response to your
Official Information Act request.

 

I can confirm the Minister only received correspondence about this event
on 30 May from individual members of the public.

 

As per the letter sent to you on 9 July it has been necessary to withhold
this correspondence under section 9(2)(a) of the Official Information Act.
In conducting a search for your original request, we did not locate any
“correspondence in any form (email, text, verbal) between the Ministry,
Commissioner of Police and yourself, and Waka Kotahi with regard to the
bike rally and cyclists getting on to the bridge”.
