Information request form
You can expect a response from us in line with the Official Information Act (OIA), Privacy Act, Natural Hazards Insurance Act, Earthquake Commission Act or all, whichever is appropriate to your request. The OIA requires us to give you our decision on your request as soon as possible, and no later than 20 working days after we receive your request.
Official Information Act (OIA) requests will be affected by the Christmas holiday period, from 25 December 2024 to 15 January 2025 (inclusive). Any OIA request received from 27 November onwards will be affected.
