Dear Waikato Regional Council,

 

Please identify for your CDEM Group and it’s members each building that is
currently identified as the building intended/likely to be used as -the
ECC -an EOC after a seismic event.

Please provide the buildings current %nbs at IL4, the date of the last

Alternately if you do not hold/cannot provide the above please provide the

Waikato Regional Council (WRC) will respond in relation to their own EOC
building.

 

As the administrating authority for the CDEM Group, WRC have a
responsibility for administrative services, such as entering into
contracts on behalf of the CDEM Group members. This does not extend to
being responsible for the provision of local CDEM services / facilities in
the CDEM Group area; nor does WRC have significant influence on how those
local CDEM are provided for. Section 64 of the CDEM Act is clear that each
member council is responsible for those local services / facilities.

 

Council does not hold the above information for buildings within the areas
of other CDEM group members.

 

Therefore, under section 12 of the Local Government Official Information
and Meetings Act 1987, WRC is transferring this request to the Territorial
Authorities listed below, who will all respond on their own behalf in
relation to their own EOC buildings.

Kia ora,

Your information request
We write to acknowledge receipt of your information request about ECC/EOC
Seismic Resilience. Your information request has been processed on
28/06/2023 and passed on to the relevant team within Council for a
response. The Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987
(LGOIMA) requires that we advise you on whether Council will provide the
requested information as soon as reasonably practicable, and no later than
20 working days after the day we receive your request.

We will respond to you no later than 27/07/2023 .

Urgent requests
If you have asked for your request to be processed urgently,the team will
try to meet the date you have specified. However it may not always be
possible to meet your timeframe due to staff resourcing, and the size and
complexity of your request.

Fees & Charges
There is typically no charge, however the decision to chargewill be made
at Hamilton City Council's discretion and in alignment with our [2]LGOIMA
Charging Policy.

If there is a charge to be applied, Hamilton City Council will notify you
prior to incurring the charge.

Our management policy regarding charging is supported by theMinistry of
Justice Charging Guidelines for OIA requests.

You are entitled to three hours free and 20 pages of photocopying free of
charge. After that, charges of $38 per 30 minutes, and 20 cents per page
of photocopying applies. We may also recover any other actual costs, such
as special consultancy fees or other materials. This is set out in our
Fees & Charges Schedule [3]here.

Pro-active release of information
One of the key purposes of LGOIMA is to make information more freely
available, which promotes good government and trust and confidence in
public services. Proactively releasing completed OIA requests that may be
of interest to the wider public can help reduce the need for individuals
to make requests for information and it can reduce the work for Council in
responding to requests. Before publishing information personal and other
identifying details are redacted. Generally, where a request relates to a
narrow topic, these requests won't be published. You can search previous
published OIA responses [4]here.

COVID-19
There may be delays to OIA responses due to COVID-19 and other seasonal
illness impacting staff capacity both in the OIA team and across our
business. While we will aim to meet out statutory timeframes, a response
to your request may take longer than expected, or the timeframe for
responding to your request may be extended under LGOIMA.

Ombudsman
If you are unhappy with our response or our management of your information
request, you have the right to complain to the Office of the Ombudsman.
The Chief Ombudsman recommends contacting us in the first instance to see
if we can resolve the issue before a complaint is made. You can read more
about what help the Ombudsman can provide [5]here.

Good afternoon Frank,

 

Response to query is below in Red.

 

Could you please confirm for me, is the Taupô Civic Administration
Building a new build? When is it scheduled for completion?

Yes a new build that is currently scheduled for completion Jan 2025.
However there is a wide range of variables that can affect the delivery

Dear Frank

In response to your LGOIMA request please find attached “Detailed Seismic
Assessment” report for WDC Queen Street Admin Building. We believe, this
building is intended/likely to be used as -the ECC -an EOC after a seismic
event. At this stage, we do not know if any other buildings, within the
district, are identified to be used as the “ECC” or “EOC” after a seismic
event.

We are now closing this request.

Please note you have the right to seek an investigation and review by the
Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is
available at http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/ or freephone 0800 802

Kia ora,

I refer to your request for information which the Waikato District Council (Council) received on 28 June 2023 by way of a transfer from the Waikato Regional Council (WRC).

Request:
Your request was as follows:

"Please identify for your CDEM Group and it's members each building that is currently identified as the building intended/likely to be used as -the ECC -an EOC after a seismic event.
Please provide the buildings current %nbs at IL4, the date of the last assessment, and the type of seismic assessment completed.

Alternately if you do not hold/cannot provide the above please provide the last seismic assessment for the buildings identified above"

Decision:
Council's decision is to release the information you have requested. Please find attached the document requested. The building is rated at 100% new building standard (NBS).

The advice I have received is that this building (where our EOC is located) is unlikely to meet the IL4 threshold and is more likely to be IL2. However, given its construction it would be a significant seismic event that would render it unusable as an ECC/EOC.

That concludes our response to your request. If you have any questions about this response, please get in touch with me in the first instance so that I can assist you.

As with any LGOIMA response, you have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about this process is available at http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/ or freephone 0800 802 602.
