Request for information 2024-092
I refer to your request for information dated 30 April 2024, which was received by Greater
Wellington Regional Council (Greater Wellington) on 30 April 2024. You have requested the
following:
“Could you kindly provide a list of all camping grounds which Council has issued a camping ground
licence in the past 3 years in accordance with the Camping Ground Regulations 1985.
Please include relevant addresses for each camping ground and identify if any camping grounds are
operated by Council or subject to a lease with Council.”
Greater Wellington’s response follows:
Greater Wellington, as a regional council, does not issue camping ground licenses under the Camping
Ground Regulations 1985 (although we do run some campgrounds such as Kaitoke). This function
instead sits with the relevant city/district council.
To respond fully to your request we request clarification of the information you are requesting:
1. Have you already requested this information from the city/district councils in the Wellington
Region? This would assist us in transferring your current request to the appropriate
council(s).
2. Are you instead after information relating to our operations as a camping ground provider?
If so, please specify the information you are after.
If we do not hear from you by close of business on 10 May 2024, we may refuse your request as it is
currently phrased.
