Approval

Dear Maritime New Zealand,

 

Can you supply a copy of the current document/s that:

 

1. Authorizes Surf Life Saving NZ to operate motorized craft (i.e. IRB)
outside of patrolled beaches including on any other water ways (inland or
otherwise).

 

2. Provides an exemption to Surf Lifes Saving NZ to have a Maritime
Operator Safety System (MOSS), outlining any caveats for such (i.e.
Directors Exemption/MOU/Agreement etc).

 

This is to establish any regulatory conditions imposed on Surf Life Saving
New Zealand in operating IRBs for purposes other than patrolling beaches
and related recreational life saving competitions.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Mike Andrews

Good afternoon Mike,

 

It is unfortunately taking longer than anticipated to process your request
due to the need for consultations. As a result, we are notifying an
extension of the time limit to 2 April 2023.

 

Please be assured that every effort is being made to provide you with the
information as soon as possible. You are of course entitled to ask that
the Office of the Ombudsman review this decision to extend.

 

Thank you for your patience. Please let us know if you have any questions.

 

Kind regards,
