Kia ora T Dobbie

I refer to your request regarding the Expenditure costs to Jacobs consultants.

You will find attached a spreadsheet with the expenditure for the last 10 years.

The second part of your request, relating to the type of work consulted on, is refused under LGOIMA s17(f) - the information cannot be found without substantial collation or research. The information provided is a total relating to many invoices over the 10 years. To determine the type of work consulted on would require staff having to manually check each invoice, which would take an excessive amount of time.
If you are able to refine this part of your request, then we may be able to reconsider our decision.

You have the right to request the Ombudsman to review this decision. Complaints can be sent by email to [email address], by fax to (04) 471 2254, or by post to The Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143.

Kind regards
Ella
