Dear Adam
Request made under the Official Information Act 1982
Thank you for your email
of 20 April 2023 requesting the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
•
How many cameras does NZTA currently use to monitor roads and public spaces?
•
Of these cameras, how many are made by Hikvision?
•
If this information is available, I would also appreciate any further details regarding the use and
maintenance of these cameras and if they will be phased out.
This letter is to advise that Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is extending the 20 working days
available to respond to your request, as allowed for under section 15A of the Act. We require an
additional 8 working and will provide a response to you on or before 31 May 2023.
Waka Kotahi owns and operates a significant number of cameras across the state highway network,
including in collaboration Councils. Therefore, your request necessitates a search through a large
quantity of information before a proper response to your request can be provided.
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to
extend this request. The contact details for the Ombudsman can be located at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
If you would like to discuss this extension with Waka Kotahi, please email
[NZTA request email].
Yours sincerely
Josh Driscoll
Manager, Ministerial Services
