Dear Gary
Request made under the Official Information Act 1982
Thank you for your email of 28 October 2018 requesting the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
I request the current notified Taxi Fares for AUCKLAND and Queenstown
I am refusing your request under section 18 (e) of the Act because the document alleged to contain the
information requested does not exist. As a result of legislative changes from 1 October 2017, there is
no longer a legal definition of approved taxi organisations or taxis, nor for fares to be notified to the
Agency, or for fares to be displayed. You can read more about these changes at:
www.nzta.govt.nz/commercial-driving/taxis-shuttles-buses-and-other-passenger-services/new-
passenger-service-rules-2017/.
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to refuse
this request. The contact details for the Ombudsman can be located at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
If you would like to discuss this reply with the NZ Transport Agency, please contact Chris Foley,
Principal Policy Advisor by email [email address] or by phone on 04 901 6745.
Yours sincerely
Debbie Despard
Senior Manager, Regulatory Compliance, Road Corridor
