Dear Dunedin City Council,

Official Information Act request

Under the Official Information Act 1982 I seek information and data relating to parking infringement notices issued by the DCC from the 2011-2012 financial year and to the present day. Using a typical infringement notice as a guide I have indicated which data fields I am requesting.

I view the information fields I am requesting to be non-risks to anyone’s privacy and should be public information as a matter of accountability. Furthermore, given this data should be centralised in one database in my mind it should not be difficult to extract these data fields into a spreadsheet file to share to me. This may be more difficult than I imagine and I am interested in communicating and helping in anyway I can in this process.

For a guide-model of a successful OIA request that is similar to this request, I link you this OIA made earlier in the year to the NZ Police about traffic offences in aggregate:
