Good morning,

On behalf of Hon Paul Goldsmith, I acknowledge receipt of your official information request dated 18 October 2024, where you requested:

The KiwiRail cost savings projections that have been provided to you as the State-Owned Enterprises Minister.

And the request that has been delivered to KiwiRail from you as the minister to find cost savings from your term as the minister.

Additionally, please include both the assessment request for and the consultation paper or impact assessment that has been provided in response by the KiwiRail to cancel the iReX project in order to make the decision to cancel the project as whole.

As a matter of clarity the assessment request is any request that requires KiwiRail to find cost savings and where the KiwiRail has responded with options for the minister to make a decision on.

We received your request on 18 October 2024. We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible and in any event no later than 18 November 2024, being 20 working days after the day your request was received.

If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will notify you of an extension of that timeframe.
