Kia Ora Steven,
Library Staff Salaries
Thank you for your request made under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings
Act 1987 (the Act), received on 16 May 2022. You requested the fol owing information:
• The number of staff currently working in libraries, in total and by salary band and
management tier
• The average salary for staff within each salary band and management tier
• The proportion of non-management staff who are earning above the living wage (as
understood by the Council).
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days
after the day we received your request. Unfortunately, it wil not be possible to meet that time
limit and we are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision,
to 28 June 2022, if not sooner.
This extension is needed because consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are
such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
Right of review
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Further
information is available on the Ombudsman website,
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
Thank you again for your request, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Kind regards
Ollie Marchant
