Thank you for your request of 19 March 2024, to Fire and Emergency New Zealand requesting the
following information under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA):
1. The total cost of all Interisland Ferry services over the past 5 years (please separate by
year)
2. The cost of all Interisland Ferry services for new appliance allocations over the 2022/2023
financial year*
3. The cost of all Interisland Ferry services for cascading appliance allocations over the
2022/2023 financial year*
Your request has been considered under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA).
This letter is to advise that Fire and Emergency needs to extend the timeframe of our response to
your request by 10 working days, pursuant to section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA, as consultations
necessary to make a decision on the request are such that a proper response to the request
cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
For this reason, you can expect to receive our response no later than 3 May 2024. We will
endeavour to respond sooner than this date if possible. If you no longer require this information,
please let us know.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review our decision, and further
information is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
Nāku noa, nā
