Dear Paul,
Request for Information under the Local Government and Official Information and
Meetings Act 1987 (the Act) (the LGOIMA)
Thank you for your email of the 13th of December 2022
re a property situated at 240 Kapiti
Road, Paraparaumu:
In relation to the removal of the wetland pond central to the site, please supply al
communication from April 14th, 2022, that took place when KCDC was notified that the
pond was been removed by Contractors, (Bryce O'Sullivan Contracting Ltd).
1. What investigation was made by KCDC?
Staff checked the subject site in response to a query from a member of the public in August
2022.
2. Was a Site visit made?
The member of the public who raised the query nominated that works had occurred in March
2022, and had been conducted by Bryce O’Sullivan Limited.
3. What did Bryce O'Sullivan undertake?
And
4. What was the cubic meterage of fill trucked in over the 3 days of operation?
No land fil ing activity was observed by staff at the site, following the query raised. As no works
were identified nor proven, there is no measure available.
5. Was a study of the water body taken?
No study of local pooling of water following a rainstorm was warranted.
In addition to our responses above, please find attached copies of two documents which fall
within the scope of your request. The personal details of other parties have been withheld
under section 7(2)(a) of the LGOIMA in order to protect the privacy of natural persons,
including that of deceased natural persons.
In the Council's view the reasons for withholding these details are not outweighed by public
interest considerations in section 7(1) favouring their release.
You have the right to request the Ombudsman to review this decision. Complaints can be sent
by email to
[email address], by fax to (04) 471 2254, or by post to The
Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wel ington 6143.
