Dear Craig Innes
Request for Information – Local Government Official Information and Meetings
Act (the Act) 1987
We refer to your request of 14 March 2024 for submissions made for papers and
recordings of the Council briefing of 13 March 2024.
This information is on the council’s website at:
https://www.huttcity.govt.nz/council/council-meetings/about-council-meetings.
This part of your request is therefore refused under section 17(d) of the Act, as
the information requested is publicly available.
One briefing has been withheld under section 7(2)(i) of the Act, as the
withholding of the information is necessary to enable any local authority holding
the information to carry on, without prejudice or disadvantage, negotiations.
We are required under section 7(1) of the Act to consider any public interest in
releasing the Information we have decided to withhold. In this case, we do not
believe there are any public interest issues.
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
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
