Tēnā koe Steven
Thank you for your request of 18 June 2024, to Fire and Emergency New Zealand requesting
information relating to our Communications Centres. Your request is being 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 20 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 14 August 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, by way of complaint under section 28(3) of the OIA, to request an investigation
and review of Fire and Emergency’s decision to extend the timeframe by the Ombudsman.
Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or
freephone 0800 802 602.
Nāku noa, nā
