Dear New Plymouth District Council,

Use of NPDC civic infrastructure by Freemasons and Masonic lodges
From: Peter Craig Hardgrave

September 29, 2022

Dear New Plymouth District Council (NPDC),

I am writing to request all information to which I am entitled under section 12 of the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) (The Act). I am a NZ citizen and live in New Zealand, and this information is sought in the public interest of all New Zealanders.

Please find below my OIA request, which relates to the use of NPDC's civic infrastructure by Freemasons and Masonic lodges.

1. Please supply information for each of the last six years; These facilities might include, for example, use of accommodation, council transport, car parking, use of any other council owned, or hired, items. Should any of the above be made available to Freemasons on a private or commercial basis, then this should be stated (with details).

(a). Has NPDC provided any facilities of whatsoever nature, to any Freemasons, or Masonic Lodges? What were these?

2. Have there been any fiscal transactions of whatsoever nature, between NPDC and Freemasons, or Masonic lodges? (Definition of "transactions". This means any transfer of goods, services, or funds, a communicative action, or activity, between the council and Freemasons, or things that reciprocally affect or influence each other). Transactions does not include any "services" common to all residents of the city. It asks specifically for matters between the council and Freemasons which are being transacted due to the mutual relationship that exists between the parties.

(a). What were these transactions by event which they occurred and during what financial period?

3. Have there been any gifts received by NPDC from Freemasons, or Masonic Lodges? (Gifts received, this includes both corporate and individual gifts).

(a). How were these gifts accounted for when audits have been conducted?
Yours faithfully,

Yours faithfully,

Peter Craig Hardgrave
