Kia ora Alan,

Thank you for your request for information, received at Council on 06 Mar 2025. The Service request number assigned to your request is 2508448.

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than 03 Apr 2025, being 20 working days after the day your request was received. Working days excludes public and provincial holidays and the period between 20 December to 10 January inclusive. If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will notify you of an extension of that timeframe. In the case of a request that is not made with due particularity or is very broad and a response would require substantial collation or research, we may ask that this be clarified or refined in terms of scope, which may affect the statutory deadline given above.

If you have any queries, please feel free to contact me at [Nelson City Council request email].

Kind regards,

Gareth O’Neill

Kia ora Alan,

 

I write further to your request for information dated 6 March 2025.

In relation to our response, it is necessary for us to apply an extension
of time under s.14(1)(b) of the Local Government Official Information and
Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA).  This is because 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.

 

Having regard for the circumstances, we consider a period of ten working
days from the original deadline 3 April 2025 is reasonable.  This means a
decision on your request for information must still be made as soon as
reasonably practicable, although the new statutory deadline will now be 17
April 2025.

 

You have the right to complain the Ombudsman regarding the application of
this extension.   Information about how to make a complaint is available
at [1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or Freephone 0800 802 602.

 

Ngā mihi,

 

Kate Redgrove

LGOIMA Advisor
