not or will not settled, for whatever reason.

occupation, additional compensation, reimbursements and professional fees, where applicable.

likely to unreasonably prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied or who is the
subject of the information. With respect to the information that has been withheld, I do not consider
there are any other factors which would render it desirable, in the public interest, to make the
information available.
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to
withhold this information. The contact details for the Ombudsman can be located at:
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
1-7 and 19-21 Sylvia Park Road
There is a Heads of Agreement between the landowner of 1-7 Sylvia Park Road and 19-21 Sylvia Park
Road and the Transport Agency for the acquisition of these two properties. Under the Heads of
Agreement the Transport Agency has agreed to promote the acquisition of the properties to the
Minister for Land Information, who is responsible for the acquisition of any land under the Public Works
Act 1981. The compensation is not agreed in that Heads of Agreement, but is left for further
negotiation. As such, this part of your request is refused under section 18(e) of the Act, as the
purchase price does not exist.
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to
refuse this part of your request.
If you would like to discuss this reply with the NZ Transport Agency, please contact me by email to
[email address] or by phone on (09) 969 8780.
Yours sincerely
Brett Gliddon
