From: Erik van der Spek
Waitaki District Council

Dear Darren,

Waitaki District Council has considered your request for information under the Local Government and Official Information and Meetings Act 1987.

We wish to advise you that we are refusing your request. Our reason for this is to protect the privacy of persons and to protect information that has not been considered by Council.

Our grounds are that the current contract between Waitaki District Council and the current manager is a commercial contract between the two parties and that the report 'Camp Grounds Future Management Review' has not yet been considered by Council and is a confidential document until such time. Releasing this information before Council has had opportunity to consider it and decide its course of action would therefore be inappropriate.

If you are dissatisfied with our decision you have the right to complain to an Ombudsman.

I would be happy to meet with you to discuss other matters such as the easement and boundary issues that remain unresolved.

Regards

Erik van der Spek | Recreation Manager

3.2 The rate of charge applies irrespective of the seniority or grading of the staff member who deals with the request, except where staff with specialist expertise who are not on salary are required to process the request, in which case a higher rate not above their actual rate of pay may be charged.
