Dear Tim
 
The total value of monies received per annum from all council owned land
within the Matamata ward that is leased out is $71,889 for 2019-2020 and
$64,274 for 2020-2021 (up to 06 May 2021).
 
I have attached a spreadsheet that outlines all the community vs.
commercial leases that Council holds.
 
We are unable to release the specifics of the commercial leases under
section 7(2)(h) of LGOIMA to enable any local authority holding the
information to carry out, without prejudice or disadvantage, commercial
activities, however we can advise that for commercial leases we have an
external company that assess the properties to ensure they are at market
rate.
 
We do not have any leases that require a daily interaction with staff nor
the other interactions you identified in your request.
 
If you are dissatisfied with the information received, you have the right,
by way of making a complaint to an Ombudsman (under section 27(3) of the
Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA)), to
seek an investigation and review of Council’s decision, more information
on this process can be found at [1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
 
 
Kind Regards
