Kia ora Kevin

I refer to your OIA request dated 18 December 2023 that was sent to the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet relating to Buller flooding Juny 2021.

This request was also sent to NIWA on the same date. NIWA will respond to both requests and have accepted the transfer from the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet.

You will hear further from NIWA concerning your request.

Kind regards,
Melissa
