Dear Barry
OFFICIAL INFORMATION REQUEST FOR REQUEST FOR PUBLIC EXCLUDED INFORMATION
THAT CAN NOW BE RELEASED
I refer to your official information request dated 7 November 2023 referring to the Council Public
Agenda (20230927) and Attachments.
Previously we wrote to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision in relation to
question 21j The [5 August 2020 Attachment to the Report] report item 4.15 refers to a support in
writing by Ngāti Hāua Iwi Trust, please provide a copy of this.
Ngāti Hāua Iwi Trust has been consulted on this matter and considers its letter to be out of scope
of this LGOIMA request as it is unrelated to the Teitei Drive development. The Trust objects to the
release of the Letter of Support in accordance with sections 7(2)(b), 7(2)(c), 7(2)(i), 7(2)(j), and
17(h) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987. After carefully
considering the Trust's views, we have decided to withhold the information at issue.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision.
