Dear Cody,

 

Thank you for your email received on January 21 2019. You requested the
following information, under the Local Government Official Information and
Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA):

 

Please provide a list of non-rateable lands (including fully non-rateable
and 50% non-rateable) for the Christchurch City Council rating area.
Please include the address, legal description and section of the Act for
which they are exempted (such as Part 2, section 3: "Land owned or used by
a society or association of persons (whether incorporated or not) for the
purpose of any branch of the arts.").

 

Response:

 

Please find attached a spreadsheet containing information you have
requested. Please note that the spreadsheet lists 0 or 50 under the
Rateable Percentage, so "0" is 100% Non-Rateable (in line with Schedule 1
Part 1) and "50" is 50% Non-Rateable (in line with Schedule 1 Part 2 of
the Local Government Rating Act 2002). You will note that the Section of
the Act information is not included.  The reason for this is that this
detail is not recorded on the Rates system as we can only key the Non
Rateable status as 50% or 100%.  To answer that part would take a
significant amount of time as every account would have to be accessed to
determine the Section in line with the Act. Therefore, after careful
consideration, we are refusing this part of your request, under the
following section of the LGOIMA:

 

-          17(f) – the information requested cannot be made available
without substantial collation or research

 

You have the right to request the Ombudsman to review this decision.
Complaints can be sent by email to [1][email address], by fax
to (04) 471 2254, or by post to The Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington
6143.

 

 

Publication of responses to LGOIMA requests

Please note: our LGOIMA responses may be published on the Christchurch
City Council website a month after they have been responded to, with
requesters’ personal details withheld. If you have any concerns about this
please contact the Official Information team on
[2][Christchurch City Council request email].

 

Yours sincerely,
