Your information request
We write to acknowledge receipt of your information request about CitySafe
CCTV cameras locations / ANPR. Your information request has been processed
on 15/07/2024 and passed on to the relevant team within Council for a
response. The Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987
(LGOIMA) requires that we advise you on whether Council will provide the
requested information as soon as reasonably practicable, and no later than
20 working days after the day we receive your request.

We will respond to you no later than 09/08/2024 .

Urgent requests
If you have asked for your request to be processed urgently,the team will
try to meet the date you have specified. However it may not always be
possible to meet your timeframe due to staff resourcing, and the size and
complexity of your request.

Fees & Charges
There is typically no charge, however the decision to chargewill be made
at Hamilton City Council's discretion and in alignment with our [2]LGOIMA
Charging Policy.

If there is a charge to be applied, Hamilton City Council will notify you
prior to incurring the charge.

Our management policy regarding charging is supported by theMinistry of
Justice Charging Guidelines for OIA requests.

You are entitled to three hours free and 20 pages of photocopying free of
charge. After that, charges of $38 per 30 minutes, and 20 cents per page
of photocopying applies. We may also recover any other actual costs, such
as special consultancy fees or other materials. This is set out in our
Fees & Charges Schedule [3]here.

Pro-active release of information
One of the key purposes of LGOIMA is to make information more freely
available, which promotes good government and trust and confidence in
public services. Proactively releasing completed OIA requests that may be
of interest to the wider public can help reduce the need for individuals
to make requests for information and it can reduce the work for Council in
responding to requests. Before publishing information personal and other
identifying details are redacted. Generally, where a request relates to a
narrow topic, these requests won't be published. You can search previous
published OIA responses [4]here.

COVID-19
There may be delays to OIA responses due to COVID-19 and other seasonal
illness impacting staff capacity both in the OIA team and across our
business. While we will aim to meet out statutory timeframes, a response
to your request may take longer than expected, or the timeframe for
responding to your request may be extended under LGOIMA.

Ombudsman
If you are unhappy with our response or our management of your information
request, you have the right to complain to the Office of the Ombudsman.
The Chief Ombudsman recommends contacting us in the first instance to see
if we can resolve the issue before a complaint is made. You can read more
about what help the Ombudsman can provide [5]here.

If you have any concerns or further questions about your request, please

The answer to the question is yes, there are other enforcement activities
undertaken, related or aided by the use of the LPR cameras. These are:

 

o They are used at the Opoia Paa off-street car park, which has static
LPR cameras for enforcing non-payments.
o They were used to count vehicles parked in, and that came into,
temporary traffic management controlled areas during the FiFA Women’s
World Cup.
o They have been used to manage problem parkers outside certain schools
during the after school pick up period where safe issues were
identified and the area to manage is too large on foot.  
o They are being used to collect data for occupancy surveys to support
decisions for future parking management plans. .
o They have been used on Saturdays to manage illegal parking
around/close to sports facilities.

 

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

Cameras

 

Dear Official Information,

Thank you for the swift response, that answers almost everything I was
looking for. I'd like to request a clarification of your response to
request 5, it seems to imply that you only use ANPR-equipped vehicles for
enforcement? Are there any enforcement activities undertaken, related or
aided by the use of the fixed CCTV and ANPR cameras listed in the
spreadsheet you sent?

Yours sincerely,
Emilia Sharp
