Dear Brian Warburton
Official information request in relation to Plimmerton Farm Streamlined Planning Process
Thank you for your email of 21 February 2020 requesting the following under the Official Information
Act 1982 (the Act):
Either confirmation that there has been no correspondence between MfE and PCC and /or
GWRC between 12 December 2019 and 21 February 2020;
Or, a copy of all correspondence:
- received by MfE from Porirua City Council and / or Greater Wellington Regional Council,
and
- sent by the MfE to Porirua City Council and / or Greater Wellington Regional Council in
relation to this matter.”
between 12 December 2019 and 21 February 2020.
The Ministry for the Environment has identified four documents in scope of your request, as listed in
the attached table.
This request is a follow-up to your previous request made under the Act. The four documents
identified in this response were previously considered out of scope as they are purely administrative
in nature. These emails are being released to you now for completeness.
I confirm the Ministry holds no further correspondence between itself and Porirua City Council and/or
Greater Wellington Regional Council on this matter.
Some information within these documents has been withheld under the following sections of the Act:
9(2)(a)
to protect the privacy of natural persons, including that of deceased natural
persons .
In terms of section 9(1) of the Act, I am satisfied that, in the circumstances, the withholding of this
information is not outweighed by other considerations that render it desirable to make the information
available in the public interest.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Office of the Ombudsman of my
decision to withhold information relating to this request, in accordance with section 28(3) of the Act.
The relevant details can be found on their website at:
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
Please note that due to the public interest in our work the Ministry for the Environment publishes
responses to requests for official information on our
OIA responses page shortly after the response
has been sent. If you have any queries about this, please feel free to contact our Executive Relations
team
: [email address].
Yours sincerely
