Subject: Official Information request - Streetlight Operation in Bucklands
Beach

Dear Auckland Transport,   Under the **Local Government Official
Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA)**, I request the following
information regarding the streetlight system in **Bucklands Beach,
Auckland**:  

1. **Control Mechanism**:     - How are streetlights in Bucklands Beach
controlled (e.g., centralized system, timers, sensors)?     - Are they
linked to a **smart lighting network** (e.g., IoT-based controls)?  

2. **Operational Criteria**:     - What determines when streetlights turn
**on/off** (e.g., sunset/sunrise tables, ambient light sensors, motion
detection)?     - Are there adjustments for **seasonal changes** or
weather conditions?  

3. **Technical Specifications**:     - What **frequencies** (radio,
cellular, etc.) are used for communication between streetlights and
control systems?     - Are there **backup systems** in case of
power/communication failures?  

4. **Suburb-Specific Data**:     - How do controls in Bucklands Beach
differ from other Auckland suburbs (if at all)?     - Are there plans to
upgrade or modify the current system?  

5. **Policy Documents**:     - Please provide any **policies, manuals, or
reports** related to streetlight operation and maintenance.  

 

Yours faithfully, Reuben
