Dear Mr Wallace,

 

I am writing in regards to your request. I have previously consulted with
staff who then escalated your request to the Head of Financial Management.
I am needing to consult with her to determine if we are able to provide
the information you are seeking, or if it is necessary for QV to respond.

 

I anticipate being back in touch with you in the morning.

 

I apologise for the delay.

Good afternoon Mr Wallace,

 

My apologies for the protracted process, there is a possibility that your
request was misunderstood. If this is the case I apologise.

 

I have gone back to staff who have advised that they interpreted your
request as asking for “all correspondence …….. which relates to the
instructions for setting the current rateable valuations”. They do not
instruct QV on how to value.

 

However, if you are wanting all correspondence which relates to the rating
valuation then this is a different (and significantly broader) request.
Could you please advise?

 

Kind regards,

Dear Matthew,

 

I hope that you and your family are well during this surreal time.

 

I am writing to update you on your request. The relevant Christchurch City
Council staff are collating the correspondence you have asked for.

 

The Council also contacted QV who have advised the following:

 

QV have not in the past provided the basis document in its whole or
redacted form. It is QVs Intellectual property,  is commercially
sensitive, and includes information provided in confidence.

 

We can redact a basis copy.  Please allow a day (8 hours) for QV to do
this being $1760 plus GST*

 

*Matthew – considering the current environment, I would assume that there
would be a significant delay in QV getting this information to you.

 

Please note that the Covid-19 restrictions mean that the Council will be
concentrating on the provision of essential services (such as maintaining
the water and waste networks and transport). The provision of information
remains important but the current situation will affect the Council’s
ability to access and provide information as it would under normal
circumstances. There may be some disruption in the provision of
information. We will endeavour to keep you updated on any requests for
information as best we can.    

 

Stay safe and I hope to be in touch with you soon.

Dear Official Information,

As per the original request it was for all correspondence.

Yours sincerely,

Matthew Wallace

Good afternoon Mr Wallace,

 

My apologies for the protracted process, there is a possibility that your
request was misunderstood. If this is the case I apologise.

 

I have gone back to staff who have advised that they interpreted your
request as asking for “all correspondence …….. which relates to the
instructions for setting the current rateable valuations”. They do not
instruct QV on how to value.

 

However, if you are wanting all correspondence which relates to the rating
valuation then this is a different (and significantly broader) request.
Could you please advise?

 

Kind regards,

Dear Official Information,

Are you saying that there no correspondence between staff and qv, elected
members and staff, qv and elected members regarding the most recent rates
revaluation?

Yours sincerely,

Matthew Wallace

Dear Matthew,

 

I hope that you and your family are well during this surreal time.

 

I am writing to update you on your request. The relevant Christchurch City
Council staff are collating the correspondence you have asked for.

 

The Council also contacted QV who have advised the following:

 

QV have not in the past provided the basis document in its whole or
redacted form. It is QVs Intellectual property,  is commercially
sensitive, and includes information provided in confidence.

 

We can redact a basis copy.  Please allow a day (8 hours) for QV to do
this being $1760 plus GST*

 

*Matthew – considering the current environment, I would assume that there
would be a significant delay in QV getting this information to you.

 

Please note that the Covid-19 restrictions mean that the Council will be
concentrating on the provision of essential services (such as maintaining
the water and waste networks and transport). The provision of information
remains important but the current situation will affect the Council’s
ability to access and provide information as it would under normal
circumstances. There may be some disruption in the provision of
information. We will endeavour to keep you updated on any requests for
information as best we can.    

 

Stay safe and I hope to be in touch with you soon.

Dear Mr Wallace,

 

Thank you for your email. For clarity, we did provide a response to you
within the twenty working days of the LGOIMA.

 

The recent Covid-19 restrictions meant that the Council’s ability to
access and provide information was affected. As such I acknowledge that
there was a significant disruption in the provision of the correspondence
you requested and for this I apologise.

 

I am reviewing the correspondence between the Council and QV and what
falls within the scope of your request will be sent to you.

 

Please note that if you have concerns about our handling of your request
we do recommend that you contact the Office of the Ombudsman. You can do
this by emailing [1][email address]

 

Kind regards,
