Residential addresses in Feilding
L Bailey made this Official Information request to Manawatu District Council
The request was refused by Manawatu District Council.
From: L Bailey
Dear Manawatu District Council,
Can you please provide me with a list of the addresses for all current rateable residential dwellings in Feilding?
All I really need is the road number and street name for research purposes.
If need be I can specify the area down to the relevant Stats NZ meshblocks.
Yours faithfully,
L Bailey
From: MDC Public Enquiries
Manawatu District Council
Thank you for your request.
I have forwarded this to the relevant area as a LGOIMA request. You will get a response in due course.
Regards, Trena

Dear L Bailey
Manawatū District current has 13 689 rateable units, so while providing you the information is possible it will require a significant amount of work.
Please can you provide me details of what your research entails so, if possible we can narrow the search. Also what form would you like the data in.
Kind Regards
Richard

Hi Richard
All I was really looking for was the street addresses and names, and only in Feilding, which I assumed would be held in your rating database.
The research is for health planning and identifying people who aren't enrolled with a primary health provider.

Hi L
Narrowing it down to Feilding helps. I assume an excel data filw would work for you?
Kind Regards

Hi Richard
Either an .xlsx or .csv file would be absolutely fine.

Manawatu District Council
Hi Luke
My apologies, having checked with our team, under the LGOIMA act we cannot provide the list you require. We do make the information available on our website but it is on a property by property basis and we are prohibited from providing a bulk list of information.
However you should be able to extract what you need from our GIS maps as they have all the streets and addresses on them. There can be found at: http://maps.mdc.govt.nz/IntraMaps80/defa...
Kind Regards
Richard

Hi Richard
I'm assuming you are referring to Section 28A(6) of the Local Government(Rating) Act?

The council appears to have declined my request because it would violate S28A(6)(b) of the Local Government(Rating) Act.
I've written to the Ombudsmen to clarify just so I know for future reference.
But in the meantime does anyone know what the law is in this situation?
