District Plan Change 18 - Appointment of Hearing Panel

Brian Warburton made this Official Information request to Porirua City Council

The request was partially successful.

From: Brian Warburton

Dear Porirua City Council,

I request information about the process resulting in the appointment of the five commissioners on the hearing panel for district plan change 18, Plimmerton Farm.

In essence the information that I expect the Council holds, and that should be made available, would comprise:
- a record of the decision by the person(s) with the delegated authority(ies) to appoint the five commissioners; and,
- a copy of the recommendation report(s) that the person(s) with the delegated authority(ies) relied upon when coming to the decision(s) to appoint the said commissioners.

I request this information under the LGOIMA.

Yours faithfully,

Brian Warburton

Dear Records Management or Moana Wyatt

I have received Ms Walker's response to my request for information about the timetable for Plan Change 18 - Plimmerton Farm ('another FYI.ORG request'). In her response dated 15 April 2021 Ms Walker suggests that correspondence about my request for information about panel members appointments (ie: this request dated 15th April 2021) is "now closed".

If this is indeed the case, please confirm that, from PCC's perspective 'this request' has been refused, in which case I will follow up with the Ombudsman.

If the request has not been refused please confirm and provide the information I have requested.

In this regard please note PCC's response to my request relating to appointment of commissioners (dated 15 April 2021) has omitted to include any information about the appointment of Mr Allen as panel chair, and only included information about the appointment of the other FOUR panel members. As PCC knows my request was for: "a record of the decision by the person(s) with delegated authority(ies) to appoint the FIVE commissioners" etc.

On the basis it would appear to be a 'partial' refusal' by PCC to provide the information that was clearly and succinctly requested.

Yours sincerely,

Brian Warburton
