Parking Fines

Beth made this Official Information request to Kris Faafoi

The request was successful.

Dear Kris Faafoi,

I note that the Government, and yourself as a minister are currently progressing a Wheel Clamping law through Parliament.
I note this appears to only address part of the concerns people have about parking

I note that Parking fines appear to be in a grey area legally and that private companies have been charging consumers large fines for a long period of time, given your current progress on wheel clamping I was interested if there had been policy work done in this area either separately or in conjunction with this legislation

Under the OIA I wish to request the following informaiton

Any report/email/document provided or produced in regards to consideration of further policy/law changes regarding parking fines by private companies/entities?

Yours faithfully,

Beth

Kia ora,

On behalf of Hon Kris Faafoi, thank you for your email.

While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important, and all
messages are carefully read and considered, it is not always possible to
personally reply to all emails. As such, the following guidelines apply:

·         Invitations and meeting requests will be processed as soon as
possible and a staff member will be in contact with you in due course

·         All media queries will be responded to by a staff member

·         Requests for official information will be managed in accordance
with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may
include transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency

·         If your email falls outside of the Minister’s portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and your
correspondence may be transferred to another office, or there may be no
further response to you

·         If your correspondence is to the Minister as the Member of
Parliament for Mana, this will be referred to his electorate office

Thank you for the taking the time to write.

Nga mihi,
