Dear Peter
Request made under the Official Information Act 1982
Thank you for your email of 22 June 2023 requesting the fol owing information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
•
Could you please provide a list of dates of all the governance meetings of the National
Ticketing Solution project that have taken place from 1 January 2020 through to the present
day that have occurred, as well as any scheduled future meetings of the governance group led
by NZTA (or that NZTA facilitate or are a part of along with your local government partners in
the project)?
•
Could you also provide please a copy of the agenda and minutes of the meetings that have
taken place since 1 January 2020 as well.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is extending the 20 working days available to us to respond to your
request, as allowed for under section 15A of the Act. We need 20 more working days to respond to
your request. We wil send you our response on or before 18 August 2023.
We are extending the deadline because the request necessitates a search through a large quantity of
information and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with the operations of the
of Waka Kotahi. It wil take us more than 20 working days to thoroughly respond to your request.
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to complain to the Ombudsman about the extension.
More information about the Ombudsman is available online at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
If you would like to discuss the extension with Waka Kotahi, please email Ministerial Services at
[NZTA request email].
Yours sincerely
James Sorensen
Manager Ministerial Services – Enterprise
