Tēnā koe Alan
Thank you for your request of 17 April 2024, to Fire and Emergency New Zealand requesting the
following information under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA):
•
Under the provisions of the Official Information Act I request copies of the 14 Feb 2024 Port
Hil s fire Incident Actions Plans (IAPs) for the first 6 days (ie 14 Feb - 19 Feb). These plans
to include those for the Day and the Night shifts over that period.
This letter is to advise that Fire and Emergency needs to extend the timeframe of our response to
your request by 20 working days, pursuant to sections 15A(1)(a) of the OIA, as the request is for a
large quantity of information, or necessitates a search through a large quantity of information, and
meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with the operations of Fire and
Emergency.
For this reason, you can expect to receive our response no later than 14 June 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
Aidan Saunders
