Thank you for your request of 6 March 2025, made under the Local Government Official Information and
Meetings Act (LGOIMA – the Act) 1987 for the following:
Please provide the suppliers list as active in the accounting software list that are set up to receive
payments from the Wellington Water or it's owned entities as subjected to Official Information Act
("OIA").
I am seeking the supplier name and NZBN.
Additionally please disclose how much of each of these have been paid during the 2024/2025 FY (or
the previous equivalent financial cycled period Wellington Water uses) as actual realized
expenditure incurred.
As noted in the letter by LGOIMA Advisor Bryce Winiata dated 2 April 2025, the timeframe to respond to
your request was extended to 10 April 2025. This was required to make consultations. Thank you for your
patience.
Your request is responded to in accordance with the Act. Please refer to the attached document titled,
LGOIMA 25-042 spreadsheet R.pdf Some information has been withheld due to commercial sensitivity, this falls under section 7(2)(b)(ii) of the

the subject of the information. In accordance with section 7(1) of the Act, we do not consider the withholding of information under the
respective section(s) 7 of the Act to be outweighed by other considerations which render it desirable, in
