I refer to your Official Information request for video recording made by
the Ngongotaha Village surveillance cameras on Friday 9 September 2023
between the times of 16:30 and 17:30, in particular footage from the
junction of Taui Street, Hall Road and Ngongotaha Road.

 

Council operates CCTV in public spaces for the purposes of security and
safety. Council shares CCTV information and footage to the Police where
criminal activity has occurred to support any investigations.

 

Council does not provide video recordings from CCTV cameras to members of
the general public as per Privacy Principle 11 (s22) and s53(b)(i) of the
Privacy Act, and s7(2)(a) of the Local Government Official Information and
Meetings Act.  Your request is therefore declined under these clauses. 

 

Your request should be directed to the Police who can then seek footage
from Council.

 

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this response/decision. The Ombudsman’s Office can be contacted by calling
0800 802 602, emailing [1][email address], online at
[2]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz, or by post to The Ombudsman, PO Box 10152,
Wellington 6143.

Subject: Re: Official information request - video recording from CCTV
cameras
 
Dear Oonagh Hopkins, is it possible for me to view this privately at a
convenient time? This is a matter where I may be seeking to lay charges
against a dangerous driver and is likely to be needed in respect of a
complaint to the IPCA

Many Thanks

Kia ora Ian

 

I have discussed your further request with our Privacy Officer and
Council’s position still stands.  Council does not release CCTV camera
footage to members of the general public due to privacy.  If there is a
potential case to be brought for dangerous driving, the Police can request
footage as part of their investigation.

 

Your request is declined under Privacy Principle 11 (s22) and s53(b)(i) of
the Privacy Act, and s7(2)(a) of the Local Government Official Information
and Meetings Act. 

 

Ngā mihi
