Whenua purunga - Landfills:Types of fill sites
Fluid Industries Ltd made this Official Information request to Auckland Council
The request was successful.
From: Fluid Industries Ltd
Dear Auckland Council,
A Google Search for Cleanfill site locations in Auckland directed me to this site:
https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/buil...
It contains a link to this file:
https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/buil...
The format (pagination) of that document is terrible, making data extraction time-consuming and illegible to machine-reading technology. I would like that information in xls or csv format, please. Preferably re-publication on the Council website, or in the alternative, an email copy will suffice.
Yours faithfully,
Fluid Industries Ltd

Dear Official Information,
Thanks for the prompt response. I am not requesting that you create new information - I am requesting a legible copy of the existing information you already have. If you were to look at the pdf file I am asking about, you would see that the column containing the "Legacy Application Number" is cropped too narrow rendering many of the reference numbers incomplete.
I dispute your statement that "the online copy is the only format [you] have". It is quite clearly exported from your database or an Excel spreadsheet. I am asking for this existing data held in your database to be supplied in an Excel format, please.
Yours sincerely,
Fluid Industries Ltd
