OFFICIAL INFORMATION ACT 1982 (OIA) – REQUEST FOR INFORMATION -
CHRISTCHURCH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT LIMITED (CIAL)
1.
We write further to our email of 18 August 2023, acknowledging receipt of your OIA
request (the
Request) of 17 August 2023 seeking information (if held by CIAL) in
relation to Climate Change.
Request: Received 17 August 2023 – Climate Change
“I see that you make reference to climate change in your communications about the
need for a new airport. Please provide a copy of all correspondence, presentations,
meeting notes and documents which include reference to climate change, in the last
12 months.”
From the outset, we consider your Request too broad in scope and therefore, we will
be unable to provide you with this level of information. Your Request covers a large
raft of correspondence which would need to be extracted from numerous sources and
places internally. To do so, would involve the diversion of personnel for a substantial
period of time to go through and collate the information you are requesting.
In order to best assist you, we ask that you refine or clarify your Request above. If
you are unable to do so, your Request shall be refused under Section 18(f) of the OIA.
2.
We trust we have answered your Request for information. If you require any further
information or if we have in some way misinterpreted your Request, please let us
know.
3.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of the
decisions contained in this letter. Information about how to contact the Ombudsman
or make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone
0800 802 602.
Yours sincerely
