Dear J Bruning
Thank you for your email of 17 July 2023 requesting information relating to climate initiatives
for agriculture and forestry included in the Climate Emergency Response Fund.
The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) wil not be able to respond within the timeframe set
out in the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) in accordance with section 15A(1)(a) as your
request necessitates a search through a large quantity of information and meeting the normal
20 working day time limit would unreasonably interfere with the operations of MPI.
MPI wil reply to your request by no later than 11 September 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
