Release of public excluded minutes
Alistair Cockburn made this Official Information request to Carterton District Council
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Alistair Cockburn to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Alistair Cockburn
Dear Carterton District Council,
Under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act, I wish to request the agenda and minutes relating to the public excluded parts of Carterton District Council’s Ordinary Council Meeting on 28 October 2020, specifically ‘8.2 - Proposal to purchase
property’, IF this relates to the CDC’s desire to purchase, acquire, compulsorily take or any other discussion about the land on Costley Street, Carterton owned by the Estate of Joseph Aplin (Section 1 on SO 327060).
On 11 May 2021 Bob Austin (acting on behalf of CDC which can be confirmed by Solitaire Robertson) notified Nicole Black of Rainey Collins Wright Lawyers (acting on behalf of the descendants of Joseph Aplin) that formalising this section of land for road is not a viable consideration for CDC, and they have withdrawn their Public Works Act Section 18 Notice of Desire.
If the requested information relates to this section of land, and as CDC no longer desire to acquire this land, there is no longer valid reason to withhold the information:
- s7(2)b(ii) is invalid as CDC no longer has a commercial position or interest in the land which could be prejudiced.
- s7(2)(i) is invalid as CDC no longer wishes to continue negotiations.
For any clarification or further information please do contact me.
Thank you
From: Erin Collins
Carterton District Council
