Dear T R
Information Request – Eligibility to request information under OIA
On 8 December 2016, you lodged a request for information from the New Zealand Fire Service
Commission (‘
Request’). On the same day, NZFS acknowledged that your Request had been
successfully received.
In order to establish whether the Official Information Act 1982 (‘
OIA’) applies to a request for
information, NZFS must establish whether that request has been made by a person eligible to make
a request under that Act.
Subsection 12(1) of the OIA provides that the following people are eligible to request information
under the Act:
• a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident;
• a person who is in New Zealand;
• a body corporate that is either incorporated in New Zealand, or
• a body corporate that has a place of business in New Zealand.
In order for the Request to be considered under the OIA, and so that NZFS can provide necessary
assistance, we would be grateful if you could please provide your contact details (ie. name and
address). You may also do this by contacting the author in confidence on the phone number below.
Following confirmation that the Request had been made by a person within a category listed in
subsection 12(1) of the OIA, NZFS looks forward to providing all reasonable assistance in connection
with it.
Yours sincerely
