Kia ora,

Thank you for your recent Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act (the Act) request.

Wellington City Council will be proactively releasing relevant information soon relating to the protest, such as:

• Communications regarding the protest between the Council and Police and other agencies
• Parking infringements data relating to the protest
• Details of the Mayor’s calendar, meetings and communication

As such, we are refusing request under section 17(d) of the Act as this information will soon be made publicly available. Note, the published response will include relevant withholding grounds where applicable. This will be noted in our response.

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.
