I write in response to your Official Information Act request of 19 October
2021 for the following information:

 

a copy of any discussions, documents and correspondence Kainga Ora has had
with or on the topic of Wellington airport (including expansion, noise
control and any other effects on people living in the area). This includes
any submissions made to authorities or consultations, and correspondence
on the topic of Wellington airport.

 

Kainga Ora is considering your request and we are due to provide you with
a decision by 17 November 2021.

 

Our preliminary consultation on your request indicates that Kâinga Ora
(then Housing New Zealand Corporation) responded to a Notice of
Requirement (NOR) for an extension to the Wellington airport runway in
2016. This NOR was subsequently withdrawn by Wellington International
Airport Ltd (WIAL).

 

To respond to your request, it would be helpful to know if the information
you are seeking includes documents relating to the earlier NOR for a
runway extension, or is limited to WIAL’s current Notices of Requirement,
notified by Wellington City Council in December 2020.

 

To clarify your request, I invite you to email Kâinga Ora at
[email address]

I write in response to your email of 19 October 2021 requesting
information under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA), and your
clarification of that request dated 8 November 2021.

 

Kâinga Ora is considering your request under the OIA, and a response was
due with you today. In regard to your request, I am extending the
timeframe for providing you with a response to Wednesday 15 December 2021.
This extension is made in accordance with section 15A(1)(b) of the Act,
‘consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that,
under the present circumstances, a proper response cannot reasonably be
made within the original time limit’.

 

Please note that we will endeavour to provide you with a response as soon
as possible within this extended timeframe.

 

You have the right, under section 28(3) of the OIA to make a complaint to
the Ombudsman about this extension.

 

Kind regards
