Dear Mr Preston
Official Information Act 1982 Request
Thank you for your request for information received on 25 June 2018. You requested that the
Earthquake Commission (EQC) make available to you the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
“Please provide minutes of any meetings, including any notes, working documents, emails or records
of phone conversations held between officials at MBIE and EQC since June 2017 till today 25 June
2018.”
Your request has been refused under section 18(f) of the Act, as the information requested cannot
be made available without substantial collation or research.
If you are interested in meetings between MBIE and EQC relating to a specific subject or topic, we
invite you to resubmit your request with this information included.
This response completes your request for information. You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to
investigate and review my decision. The Ombudsman can be contacted at PO Box 10 152, Wellington
