Kia ora,

On behalf of Hon Chris Bishop, thank you for your email.  

Hon Chris Bishop considers all correspondence to be important and
appreciates you taking the time to write.  As the Minister receives a
large amount of correspondence, it is not always possible to personally
reply to each email. As such the following guidelines apply:

o Invitations and meeting requests will be processed as soon as
possible, and a staff member will be in contact with you in due
course.
o Requests for official information (OIAs) will be managed in accordance
with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may
include transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.
o If your request relates to media, it will be referred to the media
team.
o If your email falls outside of the Minister’s portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, your correspondence will be noted and/or
transferred to another office.
o Latest information from the Beehive can be found here:

Tçnâ koe Johnny,

 

I am writing regarding the Ministry for the Environment's letter dated 29
October 2024 concerning your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request
(Reference OIAD-1341). We refused your request on the grounds that we
expected to publish the requested information by 28 November 2024.

 

Unfortunately, we have been unable to publish the information within the
anticipated timeframe. Due to the large volume of material involved, and
other unforeseen delays, the Ministry is prioritising the publication of
submissions and substantive correspondence with applicants (e.g.,
clarifications regarding submissions) for the 149 projects approved by
Cabinet for inclusion in Schedule 2 of the Bill.

 

We now aim to have all submissions, excluding withdrawn submissions,
publicly available on or before 20 December. Additionally, advice provided
to Ministers and the Advisory Group (including Officials’ Summary Papers)
will be published separately on our website by the same date.

Once published, this information will be accessible here:
[1]environment.govt.nz/acts-and-regulations/acts/fast-track-approvals-bill/.

 

We want to assure you that the Ministry is working diligently to finalise
and release this information as soon as possible. Information will be
published incrementally leading up to the 20 December date. We sincerely
apologise for the delay and appreciate your understanding and patience.

 

If you are dissatisfied with our handling of your OIA request, you have
the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman. For further details,
please visit www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or call 0800 802 602.

 

Ngâ mihi nui
