Dear Andrew
Request made under the Official Information Act 1982
Thank you for your email
of 20 January 2022 requesting the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
In the last few months several CCTV cameras have been installed along State Highway
11, including at the intersections with English Bay Road/Franklin Street, Oramahoe Road,
and Nautical Drive.
Recently small signs were erected beside each camera indicating that the cameras were
installed and are operated by Vision Paihia
I request the following
- a copy of the application by Vision Paihia to New Zealand Transport Agency for
permission to erect and operate the cameras along the State Highway,
- all reports, assessments and communications by New Zealand Transport Agency to
Vision Paihia and any other parties related to the processing of the application to install
cameras at selected locations along State Highway 11.
Waka Kotahi has not received an application from Vision Paihia about the cameras’ instal ation and
operation and, while we searched for correspondence between Vision Paihia and Waka Kotahi, we
could not find anything. I am therefore refusing your request under section 18(e) of the Act because
the documents alleged to contain the information requested do not exist.
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to refuse
this request. The contact details for the Ombudsman can be located at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
If you would like to discuss this reply with Waka Kotahi, please contact Kobus Du Toit, System
Manager – Maintenance and Operations, by email to [email address].
Yours sincerely
Paul Geck
Acting Regional Manager, Auckland and Northland
