I am responding to your Official Information Act(OIA) request to Te
Pûkenga which,  has been  partially transferred under section 14(b)(ii) of
the OIA, to each of the Te Pûkenga subsidiaries. Otago Polytechnic Ltd ‘s
response to  your request, in respect of  whether we  or our  parking
enforcement contractors are signatories to the MBIE Code of Conduct for
Parking Enforcement on Private Land and the subsequent thirteen questions,
which are not applicable to Otago Polytechnic Ltd, follows:

Otago Polytechnic Ltd is not a signatory to the MBIE Code of Conduct for
Parking Enforcement on Private Land nor do we have any arrangements with

is designated for visitors  however, this is after we have issued a
warning notice and noted the registration number.

Students have access to one hundred and twenty six  ‘first in first

We do not engage a third party to monitor / issue fines on any of our

someone’s carpark after we have issued a warning notice and noted the
registration number down.

 

Students have free first in first served carparks at The Stadium – there
are student carparks available 126.

Dear Te Pûkenga—New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology,

 

1. MBIE publish a Code of Conduct for Parking Enforcement on Private Land
(the Code). 

Are Te Pûkenga, any of its subsidiaries or their parking enforcement
contractors signatories to the Code?

Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki (WITT) is noT a signatory of
the MBIE Code

 

2. Subsidiaries of Te Pûkenga have contracted out parking enforcement of
Staff and Student car parking areas on campus to a privately owned company
called LPR Enforcement Services Ltd (LPR) who are not signatory to the
Code.

Which subsidiaries of Te Pûkenga have contracts with LPR?

WITT manages parking enforcement in house, it is not contracted out

 

3. If Te Pûkenga, its subsidiaries, or LPR are not signatories to the
Code; would meeting the standards of conduct as defined by the Code and as
administered by MBIE, clearly define a fair and reasonable absolute
minimum standard of conduct for parking enforcement by a New Zealand
Tertiary Education Institute?

WITT undertakes parking enforcement in a fair and reasonable manner and
does not use LPR

 

4. Section 5.6 of the Code clearly defines and provides examples of
misconduct “Misrepresentation of Authority” as a breach of the code.  

Have subsidiaries of Te Pûkenga in fact been “Misrepresenting Authority”
as explained by MBIE in the Code?

WITT is not aware of any misrepresentation of its authority or breach of
the MBIE Code

 

5. Subsidiaries of Te Pûkenga, and LPR liberally use the word “fine” on
signs placed in parking areas, on parking enforcement breach notices,
websites, and LPR’s self-named web “fine payment” portal. 

Have Te Pûkenga or any of its subsidiaries or agents been granted special
