Kia ora Stephen

Thank you for your official information request to the Department of
Conservation (DOC), received on 15/12/2023. We are currently processing
your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA). 

Your reference number for your request is OIAD-3663.

Please note that over the up-coming holidays there is a three-week period
for agencies, subject to the OIA, where three weeks count as one working
day.

The holiday period is from 25 December 2023 to 15 January 2024 inclusive.
This impacts OIA requests received on or after 27 November 2023. As such,
requests received on or after 27 November 2023, will be due after 16
January 2023. 

We endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible and no later
than 05/02/2024, being 20-working days after the day DOC received your
request. If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will
notify you of an extension of the timeframe.

A tool that automatically calculates the 20-working day response period to
OIA requests is available on the Ombudsman’s website at the following
link:
[1]https://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/agen....
The calculator accounts for the three-week OIA holiday.

If you have any queries, please email us at

Kia ora Stephen,

 

Thank you for your enquiry – our initial review indicated that only one
response was received, as the document reference ‘DC108/DOC-7365304’
related to only one document, and one operator. We have undertaken a
further search and located some further information in scope of your
request.

 

We apologise that this was not identified earlier, and will undertake to
review the new information with urgency to consider what can be released
to you.
