Dear Requestor

 

My apologies, the previous email should have included that we have
redacted a small amount of information on the attached agreements
regarding third party personal information. This is withheld under the
following section of the LGOIMA: 

o 7(2)(a) – to protect the privacy of natural persons

 

In the Council's view the reasons for withholding these details are not
outweighed by public interest considerations in section 7(1) favouring
their release.

 

You have the right to request the Ombudsman to review this decision.
Complaints can be sent by email to [2][email address], by fax
to (04) 471 2254, or by post to The Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington
6143.
