Thank you for your email

Information Act 1982 (the Act):
I would like to request a copy of the "Brand development paper" mentioned on item 4 of the
National Ticketing Solution Governance Board Minutes on Friday 28th July 2023. (Minutes
previously released as part of OIA-13589)
The fol owing document falls within the scope of your request and is enclosed:
• Governance Board Paper – NTS Brand Development Options July 2023
Certain information has been withheld under section 9(2)(i) of the Act. This section allows for the
withholding of information to enable a Minister of the Crown or any public service agency or
organisation holding the information to carry on, without prejudice or disadvantage, negotiations
(including commercial and industrial negotiations).
With respect to the information that has been withheld, I do not consider there are any other factors
which would render it desirable, in the public interest, to make the information available.
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to
withhold this information. The contact details for the Ombudsman can be located at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
In line with Waka Kotahi policy, this response wil soon be published on our website, with personal
