Tēnā koe Ms Easton
Thank you for your email of 9 April 2024 to Wellington City Council | Te Kaunihera o Pōneke (the
Council) requesting the following information:
1. What activities have you undertaken to enforce the appropriate use of advanced stop boxes
in Wellington? This includes activities undertaken jointly with the regional council, the police,
other local territorial authorities or other agencies, as well as individual enforcement activities.
I would appreciate any statistics you capture about these activities, such as warnings for other
vehicles using the advanced stop boxes.
2. What enforcement or communication activities are planned, or currently in planning?
Your request has been considered under the Local Government Of icial Information and Meetings Act
1987 (LGOIMA).
In our view, it would have been necessary under section 12 of the LGOIMA to transfer your request to
the New Zealand Police (the Police) because the information you requested is more closely
connected to the functions of the Police. However, we are aware that you have already made your
request to the Police, and therefore we have not transferred it. The Council does not hold any
additional relevant information to your request, as the Council is not responsible for the enforcement
of the advanced stop boxes.
You have the right to complain to the Ombudsman about this decision. Relevant information about
how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
If you require further information, please contact
[email address].
Nāku noa, nā
