Dear MT
Extension of time to respond to request made under the Official Information Act 1982
Thank you for your email of 12 October 2024 requesting the following information under the
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):
I would like to request a full organisational chart for NZTA, in particular, all groups that
have a compliance and investigation function.
This letter is to advise you that NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is extending the 20
working days available to respond to your request, as allowed for under section 15A of the Act.
We require an additional 10 working days and wil send you a response on or before 25
November 2024.
The extension is necessary as your request is for a large quantity of information and meeting the
original time limit would unreasonably interfere with our operations.
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to complain to the Ombudsman about the
extension. More information about the Ombudsman is available online at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
If you would like to discuss the extension with NZTA, please email the Ministerial Services team
via email to [NZTA request email].
Yours sincerely
Tom James
Manager, Ministerial Services
