Transfer Request
Thank you for your request made under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings
Act 1987 (the Act), received on 11 July 2023. You requested the fol owing information:
• Any and all written correspondence from businesses excited about the work that LGWM
are proposing and see it as a positive change.
• Al of the correspondence and the names of the businesses?
• Al the businesses that were involved in the planning, design and implementation to shut
down these streets. If no businesses were involved, then why not?
• Provide the cost benefit analysis, companies that were involved, terms of service
(instruction letters), any conflicts of interest, analysis, recommendations, memos, any and
all information that was used to gerrymander the outcome you require.
We have formally transferred your request to Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency. As the
information requested is believed to be more closely connected with Let’s Get Wel ington Moving.
In these circumstances, we are required under section 12 of the Act to transfer your request.
As we have transferred this request, it is effectively a new request made to that agency under the
Act and the working day count, in terms of maximum time for making and communicating a decision
beings again.
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,
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
Thank you again for your request, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Kind regards
Asha Harry
