I refer to your official information request as acknowledged below.

We have transferred your request because it is believed to be more closely
connected with the functions of Waimea Water Limited (WWL). In these
circumstances, we are required to do so by section 12 of the Local
Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA).

You will hear from WWL with an acknowledgement of the request. Their
e-mail address is [email address]

Nga mihi,

Kate Redgrove

Kia ora Bruce,

 

We acknowledge receipt of your requests for information, including those
recently transferred from Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council.

 

We can confirm that reporting is provided for in the Statement of Intent
which you can find on Waimea Water Limited’s (WWL) website.  We provide
regular updates to shareholders and the public which you can also find on
our website.   The benefits of the Waimea Community Dam are unchanged and
as described on our website.  We advise our shareholders of any cost
increases as soon as reasonably practicable and not only at the time that
we provide accounts in line with statutory obligations.

 

The March 2022 report is for the 3 Months ended 31/03/2022.  The June 2022
report is the Annual Report and is subject to review by auditors.  Under
the Local Government Act 2002, this report is not due to be provided to
shareholders until 30 November 2022.   The September 2022 quarterly report
is due to be provided to shareholders within two months of the end of the
September quarter ie. by 30 November 2022.   Once the reports have been
released to shareholders they are then made available to the public by
WWL.   Tasman District Council also places a copy or a link to the reports
on its website.

 

We will endeavour to release the Annual Report as soon as we can, although
release is subject to delays with the audit process.  Annual accounts are
not released until reviewed and aligned with the auditor’s requirements,
which is common company practice.

 

In terms of our decision on your requests under the Local Government
Official Information and Meetings Act 1987, these are refused on
administrative grounds under section 17(d) of the Local Government
Official Information and Meetings Act (LGOIMA) – the information will soon
be publicly available. 

 

I must advise you of your right to complain to an Ombudsman if you do not
believe you have been given a reasonable response to your request.  This
right to complain is dealt with in section 27 LGOIMA.

 

Nga mihi

 

 

Kate Redgrove
