QLDC RESPONSE
Extension of time required to respond
The Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 requires that we advise you of our
decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the day we received your request.
Unfortunately, we are unable to meet that time limit for your request and we are therefore writing to
notify you of an extension of the time to respond to 15 May 2025.
This extension is necessary for the following reasons:
• Your request is for a large quantity of official information and meeting the original time limit
would unreasonably interfere with our operations.
• Your request necessitates a search through a large quantity of official information and
meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with our operations.
• Consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper response
cannot be reasonably made within the original time limit.
