Noah Fitzgerald made this Official Information request to University of Auckland
The request was refused by University of Auckland.
From: Noah Fitzgerald
Dear University of Auckland,
Could you please provide me with the following information:
1) The number of places available at Waiparuru Hall residence following the immediate start of Semester 1 2022
2) The process + documentation (internal staff guides) of how Accomodation Solutions process and make offers to students for accomodation
3) Internal staff guides for Waiparuru Hall
Yours faithfully,
Noah Fitzgerald.
From: Landon Watt
University of Auckland
Dear Noah,
I refer to your request of 28 January 2023. As consultations necessary to
make a decision on your request are such that a response cannot reasonably
be given within the original time limit, the University has extended the
time limit for your request under section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA. The new
maximum time limit for the University’s response is 13 March 2023; we will
respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable. You have the
right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are dissatisfied with
this extension.
Yours sincerely,
Landon Watt

Dear Noah,
I refer to your request of 28 January 2023. The University’s response
follows:
“1) The number of places available at Waiparuru Hall residence following
the immediate start of Semester 1 2022”
WPH total capacity: 786
Confirmed bookings: 756
Holds: 1
Vacancies to fill (available beds): 29
“2) The process + documentation (internal staff guides) of how
Accomodation Solutions process and make offers to students for
accommodation
3) Internal staff guides for Waiparuru Hall”
The information requested about accommodation offers is publicly available
at
[1]https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/on-campus/....
There are no internal staff guides for Waiparuru Hall for this process. It
is unclear whether you intended to request any other information -
requests for official information need to be specified with due
particularity.
This constitutes a partial refusal of your request under section 18(d)
(publicly available) and 18(g) of the OIA (information not held). You have
the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are dissatisfied with
this response.

Dear Landon Watt,
I believe my request was misinterpreted.
Part 3 of my request asked for “Internal staff guides for Waiparuru Hall”, this does not relate to the offer of placement process. These can include copies of guides/documentation/knowledge base used by staff to manage Waiparuru Hall.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Noah,
I refer to your email of 10 March 2023. Unfortunately, your request for
internal staff guides for Waiparuru Hall is very broad, covers a large
amount of material, and would take an excessive amount of staff time to
process. Please advise whether you are willing to narrow your request to
an area of interest and, if so, what this is. If you are unwilling to
narrow your request then it is likely that the University will refuse it
under section 18(f) of the Official Information Act, on the basis that the
information required cannot be provided without substantial collation or
research.
