Subject: Official Information request - Whakatane Airport financial and
operational budgets

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Whakatane District Council,

Council is engaged in a process, with little or no consultation with
affected individuals or organisations to reintroduce and significantly
increase costs to operate from and fly into and out of Whakatane airport
which is owned by council in a partnership with central government. Is it
correct that council owns 50% of the airport and bears 50% of any costs of
what is likely not a profitable operation for the council?

I seek to know the annual costs and full operating costs born by Whakatane
District council / central government over the past three years so as to
better understand exactly what it costs the council and ratepayers to
operate the airport and where current revenue comes from.

Yours faithfully,

Andrew Broxholme
Local recreational pilot and rate payer
