[FYI request #22518 email]
Dear Camryn Brown
Thank you for your email of 21 April 2023 requesting information relating to Tupu-ake
System.
The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) wil not be able to respond within the timeframe set
out in the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA), because your request is for a large quantity of
information. In addition, consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are
such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the normal 20 working day
time limit.
Therefore, pursuant to section 15A(1)(a) and 15A(1)(b) of the OIA, MPI is extending the
timeframe to reply to your request. MPI will reply to your request by no later than 17 July
2023, earlier if possible.
Should you have any concerns with this extension, I would encourage you to raise these with
the Ministry for Primary Industries at
[email address]. Alternatively, you
are advised of your right to also raise any concerns with the Office of the Ombudsman.
Contact details are: Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143 or at
[email address].
Yours sincerely
Michelle Morehu
Director Government Services
