Hi Klaus - you have sent your email to WellingtonNZ not Wellington City
Council. I have forwarded it on to Wellington City Council using their
info email address [email address]

Hopefully someone from Wellington City Council will respond to you soon.

Kind regards

Liz

Subject: Official Information request - Release of WCC’s Complaint
Procedure and Administration in charge

Dear Wellington City Council,

This is an official information request to identify the person in power
for responding to complaints.
The complaint of 9 Dec 2021 addressed to Wellington’s City Council – WCC
Rates Department has not been responded despite of posted email reminders.

[1] Can WCC please provide a copy of the complaint procedure (guideline)
with details to complaint registration (date of registration, reference
number, contact details), time frame for responding and resolution
process?

[2] Who is the complaint administration in charge to provide services to
rates payers’ satisfaction?

[3] What is the WCC procedure if WCC failed to respond, like in this case,
sending out requested copies of documents to assist rates payers' inquiry?

The Information Request is to show accountability & transparency ensuring
that WCC’s operation can be trusted.

Yours faithfully,
Klaus Schliebe

Kia ora Klaus

 

Thank you for your information request dated 11 February 2022. Please see
the below responses to your questions:

 

[1] Can WCC please provide a copy of the complaint procedure (guideline)
with details to complaint registration (date of registration, reference
number, contact details), time frame for responding and resolution
process?

 

Information is contained on our website about our complaints procedure:
[1]Make an official complaint to Council - Wellington City Council

 

[2] Who is the complaint administration in charge to provide services to
rates payers’ satisfaction?

 

The administrator of this would be the Rates Team Leader. They can be
contacted by sending an email to [2][email address] and
[3][email address]

 

[3] What is the WCC procedure if WCC failed to respond, like in this case,
sending out requested copies of documents to assist rates payers' inquiry?

 

Information on how to escalate a complaint is contained on our website:
[4]Make an official complaint to Council - Wellington City Council

 

I can also advise that WCC is in the process of moving some rate services
to our contact centre. Which will give better timely responses to
customers.

 

I have spoken to the Rates Team Leader and they will be responding to your
request. I apologise that we have not provided timely responses to you in
this instance.

 

Please do not hesitate to get in touch with the Official Information team,
[5][email address], if you are not receiving timely response to your
information requests.

 

If you are not satisfied with the Council’s response, you may request the
Office of the Ombudsman to investigate the Council’s decision. Further
information is available on the Ombudsman website,
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.

 

 

Ngâ mihi,

Gareth
