    Dear Taupo District Council,

    and/or addresses for the purposes of providing Rating Valuations.

    A summary of the data requested is included below.

    Presented in: Data Item [Usual Format / Example] format

    (please contact us if you would like a PDF version of this table)

    (a) Property Rating Valuation [Dollar or Integer amount (e.g
    $490,000, 490000)]

    Along with any other property-related data used to generate the
    Rating Valuation formatted as required

    We understand that some of these data items may not be available,
    or may be in a slightly different format to what is requested
    above. We respectfully request you provide us with whatever is
    available in whatever format is most convenient.

    Current Availability

    We recognise that this information may currently be available
    either;

    (a) in hard copy form at your offices or;
    (b) via your website

    Data available via your website is not possible for us to obtain
    whilst still following the Terms of Use you have made available,
    which prevent automated means of access and republication.

    Data available in hard copy form is not easily transferable or
    updatable. As you store the information in Electronic form before
    producing the hard copy, we ask you provide us a copy of the
    Electronic form of this data.

    Automated Retrieval

    If granted exceptions from any Terms of Use or Copyright
    restrictions preventing us from doing so, we are more than happy to
    work with you to build an automated retrieval system which will
    create a database of some of the requested data. We will liase with
    you as necessary to ensure this doesn’t impact the availability of
    any of your services. We have suggested this simply as a means to
    make providing the requested data easier for you - we are happy to
    work with you in order to accomplish this with a minimum of effort
    and disruption.

    Pre/Post Processing and Formats

    We understand that there might be significant effort involved in
    either pre- or post- processing of the requested data. We are not
    requesting processing of any kind - we are happy to accept data in
    any readable format - preferably non-binary and non-proprietary,
    but where this is impractical we are happy to accept those formats.

    To reiterate; we are happy to accept data in the exact format in
    which you store it (or make it available via your own website) -
    hence there should be no requirement for significant data
    processing.

    Delivery

    We are happy to accept delivery in any Electronic format - we can
    provide Courier Bags and DVDs, an FTP system, or any other
    acceptable delivery format as requested by you. We wish to make
    providing this information to us as easy as possible.

    Privacy Concerns

    We are happy to discuss and enact any requirements you have
    regarding Privacy. As all of the information requested is readily
    available through other means, we anticipate no issues in this
    regard.

    --

    We appreciate your time and consideration in this matter. If there
    is any further information you require from us, any questions you
    have or any way in which we can make your compliance with this
    request simpler, please do not hesitate to contact us using the
    details below.

    Kind Regards,

    200 Square Limited
