Kia ora Jimmy,

 

I am writing to update you on your OIA request to NZTE on NZTE Coaching.

 

We are currently working through your request and consultation is
required. We are therefore extending the time to make a decision on your
request to 9 May 2025.

 

We will endeavour to respond to you sooner, with 9 May 2025 being the
latest date for a decision. This extension is made under section
15A(1)(b), as the consultations necessary to make a decision on the
request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within
the original time limit.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[1]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...
or you can freephone 0800 802 602.

 

Ngā mihi,

Isla
