Recreation & Wellness Centre Costs

K Jack made this Official Information request to University of Auckland

Response to this request is delayed. By law, University of Auckland should normally have responded promptly and by (details and exceptions)

From: K Jack

Kia ora University of Auckland,

The new Recreation and Wellness Centre is due to open very soon on November 25th, 2024, after the plan was approved in 2018 and construction began in 2020.

Please provide:
a) A full overview and breakdown of the costs associated with building the Recreation and Wellness Centre, including but not limited to consultancy fees, demolition and relocation of the original facilities, design, and construction costs.
b) A comparison of estimated costs at the time of project approval versus actual costs incurred to the present date and anticipated by the Centre's opening date. Alongside this, please also include any communications regarding the cost of the project to or from the offices of any senior management staff between August 2018-present.
c) A full breakdown of the funding sources for the Centre, including but not limited to how much of the annual student levy contributed to costs for each year since approval in 2018.
d) The business case for the Centre that was approved by the council in late 2018 and any relevant materials (e.g. research, proposals, bids) that contributed to the production of that document or the council discussion regarding project approval. Alongside this, please include any communications regarding the project to or from the offices of any senior management staff predating that.

Please provide this information in an accessible, searchable format.

I understand that a decision on a request for information under the OIA should be made within 20 working days of receiving that request. If you require any further information from me, please let me know as soon as possible.

Dear K Jack,

I refer to your request of 16 October 2024 . As consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a response cannot reasonably be given within the original time limit, the University has extended the time limit for your request under section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA. The new maximum time limit for the University’s response is 12 December 2024; we will respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable. You have the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are dissatisfied with this extension.

Yours sincerely,
Farleigh Quinlivan
