Kia ora Mason,
Your request for information under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987
(LGOIMA) – (case number)
I refer to your official information request dated 22 January 2023.
I will answer your questions in the order you have asked them.
How many "computer vision specialist's" does AT employ or contract to?
Auckland Transport has nine permanent employees who are Computer Vision specialists. We do not have any
contractors in this area.
What is the role conducted by each of those individuals?
A Computer Vision Specialist’s role is to deliver business outcomes for AT using CCTV, Computer Vision tools and
systems. Attached is a standard Job Description for this role.
Please provide all documentation, guides, and manuals held by AT that staff use to respond to LGOIMA requests.
Including specifically, anywhere that the Police are afforded special or greater authority over natural persons
when deciding whether to refuse or grant an OIA / LGOMIA.
For the processes used by AT staff use when addressing LGOIMA requests, we refer you to the publicly available
guidelines published by the Ombudsman.
ANPR data is made available to NZ Police pursuant to warrant or under a LGOIMA.
Please provide all documentation, guidelines, manuals, or general processes used when accessing the AT's license
plate database.
AT’s CCTV Policy is available on our website here

Please also refer to the attached CCTV Guidelines, and the ANPR Decryption process flowchart.
Please provide the number of requests made by the Police to access the license plate database citing the LGOMIA
or the privacy act as their authority.
Since June 2021, 10 requests have been made by NZ Police to AT.
Please provide all information, documentation, and reports AT has in relation to privacy concerns, access concerns
(breaches etc), future scope of the database, and general discussion on the database.
Your request for this information is declined under section 17(f) of the Local Government Official Information Act
1987 (LGOIMA) as that the information requested cannot be made available without substantial collation or
research.
We trust this clarifies your request, but should you believe that we have not dealt with your request
appropriately, you are able to make a complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman in accordance with section
27(3) of the LGOIMA Act and seek an investigation and review in regard to this matter.
