Hello M Paroli.
Thank you for the below request.
Please accept my apologies for the time taken to respond, but we have been trying to work through your request to identify exactly what it is you are looking for.
Are you able to please re-advise us of what you are seeking, and explain the use of the prefixes D1.P1.1 etc, as they do not have any relevance that we can see to parking/vehicle infringement rules.
Thank you
Kind regards
Chris

Dear Chris Brown,
Thank you for your response.
In regards to where you state, “and explain the use of the prefixes D1.P1.1 etc, as they do not have any relevance that we can see to parking/vehicle infringement rules”; if you read what I asked carefully, it actually explains it.
However, on that note, I will rearrange my request into a simpler way in the hopes that the Wellington City Council can understand fully that I am asking.
So, here it is:
Any reason(s) as to why an Infringement Notice has been cancelled (for any of the reasons as listed immediately succeeding this sentence):
• “Parking within an area marked with broken yellow lines.”
• “In that you being a person in charge of a motor vehicle [Insert Licence Plate] did cause it or allow it to be parked on part of a roadway marked with a broken yellow line.”
• “No person, being the driver, shall stop, stand or park a vehicle whether attended or unattended on a road controlled by the marking of a broken yellow line.”
Specifically for any of the following vehicles types, but not limited to any of the below:
• [a(/any)] taxi service vehicle(s),
• [a] bus(es) (as stated within the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004, specifically Part 1 – Preliminary Provisions, Section 1.6 – Interpretation),
• [an] emergency service vehicle(s) (whilst not responding to or on route to, at, or fro to an emergency),
• [a] garbage collection vehicle(s) (whether or not they are currently operating whilst on a job),
• [a] courier vehicle(s) (not limited to any specific company, and whether or not they are operating on a job),
• [a] private motor vehicle(s)
• [a] council motor vehicle(s)
• [a(/any)] company vehicle(s) [of any type or variation]
In which any of the above vehicle types have acted without due regard taken to any of the reasons listed above, and in which the response was a cancellation of an Infringement Notice due to action taken by the Wellington City Council, which contradicts what is stated below:
“The explanation provided does not demonstrate the parking of the vehicle on the prohibited area was done in an emergency.”
The above is for a time period not exceeding or deceeding one calendar year from the date of my original question.
Yours sincerely,
M Paroli

Hello M Paroli,
Thank you for your email, and for simplifying the actual request part somewhat. Believe it or not, it does help us to help you when the request is easier to understand.
In response, the Council's Parking Enforcement team have provided the attached spreadsheet. This details all parking infringement notices received for parking on broken yellow lines that were subsequently cancelled, and the reasons for the cancellation (for the calendar year period preceding the original date of your request).
I trust this assists.
Kind regards
Chris
