Dear Alex,
Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987
CAS-1130078-R2F1B9
Thank you for your request for official information.
“Auckland Transport planned to install hundreds or thousands of new surveillance
cameras around Auckland, and that these would include facial recognition
technology.”
I can confirm that Auckland Transport does not currently, nor have any plans to, use facial
recognition technology.
Your request is therefore refused under Section 17(e) of the LGOIMA as the information
requested does not exist.
Should you believe that we have not dealt with your request appropriately, you are able to
make a complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman in accordance with section 27(3) of the
LGOIMA Act, and seek an investigation and review in regard to this matter.
If you have any further queries, please contact Auckland Transport on 09 355 3553
quoting Official Information request number.
Yours sincerely
Roger Jones
Exec GM Business Technology
