Dear Mr Smith

 

Thank you for your information request.  Under The Local Government
Official Information and Meetings Act (LGOIMA), your request must be dealt
with as soon as is reasonably practicable and in no case later than 20
working days after the day on which the request is received.  20 working
days excludes Saturdays and Sundays, Public and Provincial Holidays and
the period between 20 December and 10 January inclusive.  On this basis,
we calculate a response to your request received on 14 June 2024 is due by
15 July 2024, at the latest.  We shall of course endeavour to process your
request as quickly as staff resources allow.

 

For requests that are likely to involve substantial collation and/or
research, there may be a charge for staff time.  Under our charging
policy, staff time for the first hour is free of charge.  Thereafter this
will be charged at the prescribed rate of $40 (GST inclusive) per half
hour.  We will provide the information electronically,  however should you
wish a hard copy,  there will be photocopying charges at 20c per sheet,
with the first 20 pages being copied free of charge.  Under section 13(4)
of LGOIMA we do have the ability to request the amounts due are paid in
advance of the release of information.   Please be assured that if a
charge is likely to apply you will be notified ahead of the request being
processed so that you can decide if you wish to proceed.  At that time you
will also be given the option to refine your request.

 

Please note that it is our policy to proactively release our responses to
official information requests where possible. We do not publish
requesters’ personal information.  Please contact [1][email address] if
you have any questions about this.

Dear Kevin,

 

We refer to your official information request dated 14 June 2024, your
request and our response in red are as follows:

 

 

The Airport Relocation Report was completed last year but we have seen
little detail of the contents.

 

 1. Could you please provide a copy of the terms of reference for the
investigation and report ?

Please see attached documents. Any commercially sensitive information has
been redacted.

 

 2. Could you please provide details of the threat analysis study that
would have precipitated such a relocation plan ?

The PGF-funded rock armouring project aims to protect the airport from
current and future risks like sea level rise and liquefaction. While it
provides temporary protection, long-term impacts remain uncertain. Using
the RCP 6.5 scenario, predictions were made, but accuracy and timelines
are uncertain. Continuous monitoring will be essential to understand
future effects, as noted in the West Coast Regional Council's hazard
analysis (BECA report 2019)

 

 

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
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

 

If you wish to discuss this decision with us, please feel free to contact
the Buller District Council by return email to [2][email address].

 

Please note that it is our policy to proactively release our responses to
official information requests where possible. Our response to your request
may be published at
[3]https://bullerdc.govt.nz/district-counci...
with your personal information removed.

 

Kind regards,
