Thank you for your email of 15 October 2024 to Te Kaunihera o Pōneke | Wellington City Council (the 
Council), requesting the following information: 
 
•  Any communications between councillors and the below individuals since 15 April 2024: 
-  Nicola Willis 
-  Simeon Brown 
-  Chris Bishop 
 
Your request is being considered under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 
(LGOIMA). 
 
This letter is to advise you that the Council needs to extend the due date of your response for 10 working 
days, pursuant to section 14(1)(a) of the LGOIMA, as the request is for a large quantity of official information 
or necessitates a search through a large quantity of information and meeting the original time limit would 
unreasonably interfere with the operations of the local authority, and section 14(1)(b) of the LGOIMA, 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 a response from the Council no later than 27 November 2024
 
You have the right, by way of complaint under section 27(3) of the LGOIMA, to request an investigation and 
review of WCC’s decision to extend by the Ombudsman. Information about how to make a complaint is 
available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.  
 
If you require further information, please contact [email address].
