Dear Erika,
9 MARCH 2024: OFFICIAL INFORMATION ACT REQUEST I refer to your official information request dated 9 March 2024 for information regarding
The Untitled PBK and JP Project.
The Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) requires that we advise you of our decision on your
request no later than 20 working days after the day we received your request.
Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are therefore writing to
notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision, to 8 May 2024.
This extension is required under section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA: consultations necessary to
make a decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be
made within the original time limit.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this decision, please feel
free to contact me.
Yours sincerely
Tayla Hancock
Senior Advisor, Policy and Performance
New Zealand Film Commission
