Dear Reuben
Request made under the Official Information Act 1982
Thank you for your email
of 13 March 2024 requesting the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
Please provide minutes for your meeting with Katie Nimon on 25/03/24 regarding the
safety improvements of the Hawke's Bay Expressway.
At the time of your request, no such meeting had occurred. I am therefore refusing your request under
section 18(e) of the Act because the document alleged to contain the information requested does not
exist.
However, you are welcome to contact NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) in the future to
request information which may exist.
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to refuse
this request. The contact details for the Ombudsman can be located at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
If you would like to discuss this reply with NZTA, please contact us by email to
[NZTA request email].
Yours sincerely
James Sorensen
Manager Ministerial Services
