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.

at Hamilton City Council's discretion and in alignment with our [1]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 the Ministry of Justice Charging
Guidelines for OIA requests.

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 [3]here.

Subject: Official Information request - CCTV Camera Footage

 

Dear Hamilton City Council,

Good Afternoon,

This morning while I was driving to work, I collided with another vehicle.
I believe it was my right of way as I was exiting the roundabout, and my
indicators were on, from Pardoa Blvd to Gordonton. However, two cars from
the Wairere side moved into the lane, and one of them rear-ended my black
hatchback. I don't know which exit the car that collided with me went, as
it did not stop to check the damage he/she has caused. I, However stopped
due to the impact. No other pedestrian bothered to check on the collision
as well. And everyone just went on their way. I would like to request a
footage of any CCTV camera if there are any within that area that would
help with my insurance claim.

This happened on 25/02/2025 around 8 am. Location, Roundabout with exits
to Pardoa Blvd, Wairere, Gordonton and Crosby road. My car was a black
hatchback, Nissan Tiida with Rego LFC392. The other car was either an SUV
or UTE and white/cream in color. I'd appreciate any assistance you may be
able to provide, Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

April Fortaleza
