Subject: Official Information request - Special priority for customers
 
 
Dear Auckland Council,
 
Under the Official Information Act and Local Government Information Act
and any other legislation, I want to request this information:
 
1. Any manuals or guidelines for how different customers are prioritized
when they apply for a resource consent or a building consent
 
2. Does Auckland Council have a policy to prioritize consents from special
customers e.g. senior managers at other organisations, or government
ministers?
(if the answer to 2 is "no" please ignore questions 3 and 4)
 
3. If the answer to 2 is "yes", could you please provide me with the
relevant policy and reference to legislation
 
4. If the answer to 2 is "yes", are the elected members of Auckland
Council aware of this?
 
5. The transcript or video files for the "Regulatory Director Chat" for
the weeks of 5-9 August and 12-16 August
 
Yours faithfully,
 
Kevin Johnson
