Request for information generated from the ‘Future of Severely Affected Land Risk Categorisation Framework’

Details of the request

The ‘Cyclone Recovery Unit’ was established in March 2023 to lead, coordinate and monitor the severe weather recovery across government.

I am seeking documents, discussions, reports, and any other relevant materials that detail the creation, decision-making process, and advice received while creating the 'Future of Severely Affected Land Risk Categorisation Framework.' Following cyclone Gabrielle.

Specifically, I am requesting the following information:

1. Development and Design
   1. Which agencies, departments, or external entities were involved in the development and design of the Land Risk Categorisation Framework? Please provide documents identifying the individuals or teams responsible for its design, including their roles and affiliations. Partial transfers to Mfe and TSY and DPMC has one doc potentially in scope.
2. Legal and Technical Advice
   1. Reports, memos, or other documents that refer to the legal advice received during the development of the Land Risk Categorisation Framework. Transfer to MfE, DPMC has nothing.
   2. Reports, memos, or other documents that discuss the technical reports, methodologies, and risk assessments used in the Land Risk Categorisation Framework. Partial transfer to TSY and MfE, DPMC will hold some.
3. Recommendations to Cabinet and Concerns Raised
   1. Reports, memos, or other documents detailing recommendations provided to the government cabinet regarding the Land Risk Categorisation Framework. Partial transfer to MfE and TSY - nothing for DPMC
   2. Reports, memos, or other documents outlining any concerns raised during the development and implementation of the Land Risk Categorisation Framework.

DPMC does hold some info about implementation not development, partial transfer to MfE and TSY also.
