I am writing to advise you that MBIE wil provide a response but needs to extend the time available to
answer your request. MBIE’s response will be sent to you no later than
3 March 2025.
The reason for the extension is that our request necessitates a search through a large quantity of
information and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with our operations.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request or this response, or if you require any further assistance,
please contact
[email address].
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of our decision to extend the
time limit. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or
