Subject: Official Information request - Unlawful clamping behaviour on
Council road

 

Dear Wellington City Council,

 

A section of road has been closed on Victoria Street, Wellington Central;
between Willeston Street and Maning Lane. Adjacent to this, road markings
indicate that a section of road has been designated as a “Waiting Zone”. A
sign next to this states:

 

“This is NOT a Loading Zone. Any vehicles parking here will be clamped.
$500 fee to remove wheel clamp. Visit LT McGuinness Site Office to remove
wheel clamp.”

 

The Land Transport (Wheel Clamping) Amendment Act 2019 made it unlawful
for a wheel clamping operator to charge more than $100 to remove a wheel
clamp, unless the road is under the control of an enforcement authority.

 

I make the following request for information, pursuant to the Local
Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987:

 

1.            Is the Council aware of anyone being clamped in this
location?

 

2.            Has the Wellington City Council authorised the clamping of
vehicles in this location, being land that has been vested to the Council
for road?

 

3.            Has the Wellington City Council granted exclusive possession
of this piece of road to anyone, and if so, what are the terms of that
agreement?

 

4.            Has the Wellington City Council authorised the $500 release
clamp release fee, through the exception to the $100 limit, described at
section 98D of the Land Transport Act 1998?

 

5.            If the answer to question 4 is ‘no’, what will the
Wellington City Council do in response to this unlawful activity on land
that they are responsible for?

 

Yours faithfully,

 

C Fuller
