Dear John
Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987
Re: Org Chart and China Related Business
I refer to your LGOIMA request dated 8 January 2020, requesting an organisation
chart for Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku) including the names associated
with any public facing roles, as well as job descriptions for any roles with a focus on
China/Asia.
1. Organisation chart with names for each position
Please see document attached.
The organisation chart includes a list of all Panuku positions including the names of
tier two managers (direct reports to the chief executive), and tier three managers
who are in customer/public facing positions or who manage people in
customer/public facing positions.
Panuku is mindful that it is a publicly funded organisation and therefore the public
has an expectation of transparency about Panuku’s staffing levels, the roles of staff,
and – in some cases – the identity of staff. However, Panuku’s view is that staff tier
four and below who carry out customer/public facing roles have a reasonable
expectation of privacy in carrying out their day to day roles. Panuku has withheld
names of individuals carrying out customer/public facing roles in tier four and below
under 7(2)(a) of LGOIMA to protect privacy of individuals.
2. Job description for roles dealing with China
Panuku does not have any positions with a focus on China or Asia.
Should you believe Auckland Council has not responded appropriately to your
request, you have the right by way of complaint, under section 27(3) of the LGOIMA,
to apply to the Ombudsman to seek an investigation and review of the decision.
