Dear Mr Innes,

 

I refer to your official information request dated 19 September 2023
asking for a report, namely 'Waipu Historical Overview, 1839-1860”,
Wellington'.

 

The information you have requested is as follows.

 

* Please provide a copy of the following report: Vincent O’Malley, “Waipu
Historical Overview, 1839-1860”, Wellington, September 2022.

 

We do not hold the information you have requested. Searches that we
undertook, both internally and externally, show no report by this name.
Neither National Library nor Archives NZ reference it.

 

Is it possible your request was meant for Whangarei District Council as
Waipu is part of the Whangarei District?

 

Accordingly, I am formally refusing your request under section 17(g) of
the LGOIMA because the information is not held.

 

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
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

 

If you wish to discuss this decision with us, please feel free to contact
me on 06 349 0001 or by return email.

 

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

Hayley Fitzgerald

 

On behalf of

Rob Goldsbury
