Official Information Act request
Thank you for your information request dated
13 May 2024.
You asked for the following
information:
“I am writing to request a list of all grants and/or funding provided to Taranaki
Whanui Limited (TWL) from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2021. Note that
TWL is the commercial arm of PNBST, therefore a separate entity.
I kindly request that the compiled list include the following information:
- Name of the grant/fund
- Type of grant/fund
- Amount of grant/fund
- Date/s of approval and disbursement of the grant/fund
- Name of the individual or organisation that applied for the grant/fund on behalf
of TWL Additionally, I request copies of the signed agreements for each
grant/fund provided to TWL”
Your request has been considered in accordance with the Official Information Act 1982
(the Act).
Te Puni Kōkiri has not contracted any grants or funding to Taranaki Whānui Limited
between 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2021. Therefore, your request is refused under
section 18(e) of the Act as the information requested does not exist.
You may be interested to know that Te Puni Kōkiri publishes annually a list of investment
recipients on our website at:

I trust my response satisfies your request.

response. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
