Good morning
Please see our responses below to the questions you have asked.
a) A copy of your LGOIMA/Information Management/Public Information policies (if you have any)

MDC's LGOIMA responses to requests are in accordance with the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987

b)The number of LGOIMA requests made to MDC per year for the last 5 years

1 July 2014 to 30 June 2019 = 431 requests

To 30 June 2015118
To 30 June 2016 84
To 30 June 2017 76
To 30 June 2018 84
To 30 June 2019 69

c)The costs incurred by council in processing these requests

We do not keep a record of time of average requests. We would only charge for large requests that we know will take a lot of staff time to collate.

d)The amount of requests that have had a charge applied

Six have had quotes of fees sent to requester, but none has actually resulted in charges being made.

e)The amount(s) and hours charged for the requests covered in d)

We have not charged any requester for information requested.
