Kia ora Chris and Kate
Thank you for your request made under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings
Act 1987 (the Act), received on 19 May 2023. Part of your request was responded to on 19 June
2023, advising that the Council would need time to prepare the release of our waterfront hazards
register which is part of our Health and Safety register.
Please see the attached spreadsheet for the Council’s Health and Safety register on the waterfront.
Please note:
1)There are some incidents/injuries/near misses and fatalities that happen on the
waterfront, where members of the public/other agencies decided not to report to Council.
Only incidents/injuries/near misses and fatalities that required Council engagement is
logged into our risk manager system.
2) Some information has been withheld under section 7(2)(a) of the Local Government
Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 to protect the privacy of individuals.
3) Data was extracted on 16 May 2023 includes incident/injuries/near misses and fatalities
extracted from our Health and Safety system from January 2014 to May 2023.
On reviewing the register, the Council did find two events with fal s (1m or greater) that was notified
to Worksafe. Details have been noted in the spreadsheet for your reference.
Right of review
If you are not satisfied with the Council’s response, you may request the Office of the Ombudsman
to investigate the Council’s decision. Further information is available on the Ombudsman website,

Please note, we may proactively release our response to your request with your personal
information removed.
Thank you again for your request and patience, I do apologies for the delay in providing you this
information. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Kind regards
