Subject: Official Information request - Request for Information under the
Official Information Act - Food Scraps Collections Programme

 

 

Dear Auckland Council,

Subject: Request for Information under the Official Information Act - Food
Scraps Collections Programme

To whom it may concern,

I hope this letter finds you in good health. As a concerned citizen and a
responsible member of the Auckland community, I am writing to request
information under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) regarding the
Food Scraps Collections Programme, specifically seeking details about the
business case, cost benefit analysis, and CAPEX and OPEX costs associated
with this service.

The Food Scraps Collections Programme holds significant importance in
fostering sustainable waste management practices, reducing landfill waste,
and promoting environmental conservation. Recognizing the significance of
this initiative, I am eager to better understand the underlying financial
aspects to ensure its effectiveness and feasibility as a long-term
solution.

Therefore, I kindly request the following information:

Business Case: I request a copy of the business case or any relevant
documentation that outlines the objectives, scope, and projected benefits
of the Food Scraps Collections Programme. Please include details on the
anticipated environmental impact and the expected benefits to the
community.

Cost Benefit Analysis: I would like to obtain the comprehensive cost
benefit analysis conducted for the Food Scraps Collections Programme. This
analysis should cover the financial costs, potential savings, and any
quantifiable benefits, both in the short-term and long-term.

CAPEX and OPEX Costs: Kindly provide the detailed breakdown of the Capital
Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operating Expenditure (OPEX) costs associated with
the implementation and maintenance of the Food Scraps Collections
Programme. It would be helpful to have a clear understanding of how these
costs are being allocated and financed.

I believe that having access to this information will enable the public to
better comprehend the Council's commitment to sustainability and
environmental protection. It will also help us engage constructively in
discussions and ensure accountability and transparency in the
decision-making process.

Under the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, I understand
that the Auckland Council has a legal obligation to respond to this
request within 20 working days. I kindly request that you provide the
information in written form, either electronically via email or in hard
copy delivered to my address provided above.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving
the requested information and contributing to the continued improvement of
our city's environmental efforts.

Yours sincerely,

Yours faithfully,

Andy
