Dear T Marshall
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) to Kāinga Ora –
Homes and Communities, dated 27 March 2023, for the following information:
‘ The catering spend by development managers in Auckland in the past 6 months.”
Development managers as a cohort do not have catering for events charged to them.
By way of context, catering is charged at a team/business unit level, or against a project.
There wil also be instances where development managers attend workshops or other ad
hoc events from time to time, such as blessings, which may have catering.
Therefore the information requested is refused under section 18(e) of the Act, as the
information requested does not exist.
Under section 28(3) of the Act you have the right to seek an investigation and review by the
Ombudsman of this response. Contact details for the Ombudsman can be found at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
Please note that Kāinga Ora proactively releases responses to official information requests
where possible. Our response to your request may be published at
kaingaora.govt.nz/publications/official-information-requests/ with your personal information
removed.
Yours sincerely
Rachel Kelly
Manager, Government Relations
