Official information request regarding projects funded by the Gama
Foundation Governance and Policy Studies Endowment Fund
We refer to your request for information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act)
dated 15 May 2023 regarding projects funded by the Gama Foundation Governance and
Policy Studies Endowment Fund.
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working
days after the day we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible
to meet that time limit and we are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the
timeframe to make our decision to 30 June 2023.
This extension is required because consultations necessary to make a decision on your
request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time
limit.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.
Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz
or freephone 0800 802 602.
If you wish to further discuss this decision, please feel free to contact us at
[VUW request email].
