Good morning Mr Campbell,

 

Thank you for your LGOIMA request (2315111).  Please find below our
response.

 

In response to 3) below, the rating data for 22 Sloss Road does reflect
accurate information to calculate rates for the 2023-24 rating year with
the valuation having been last updated in June 2023. The number of
self-contained dwellings are recorded. Commercial & industrial properties,
farms and other non-residential properties do not have the number of
individual non-residential buildings recorded in rating data but these are
included in valuations. Residential properties typically have fewer
non-residential buildings, such as garages or sheds, but the number of
such buildings is also not shown on rating data for those properties.

 

The Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (the Act)
is taken into account when deciding on our response to requests for
information.  In relation to 1) and 2) of your request, as per sections
17(f) and 17B of the Act, we would like to provide you with the
opportunity to refine your request at which point we will again assess
your request.

 

Section 17 Refusal of requests of the Act states:

A request made in accordance with section 10 may be refused only for 1 or
more of the following reasons, namely:

(a) that, by virtue of section 6 or section 7, there is good reason for
withholding the information:

(b) that, by virtue of section 8, the local authority does not confirm or
deny the existence or non-existence of the information requested:

(c) that the making available of the information requested would—

(i) be contrary to the provisions of a specified enactment; or

(ii) constitute contempt of court or of the House of Representatives:

(d) that the information requested is or will soon be publicly available:

(da) that the request is made by a defendant or person acting on behalf of
a defendant and is—

(i) for information that could be sought by the defendant under the
Criminal Disclosure Act 2008; or

(ii) for information that could be sought by the defendant under that Act
and that has been disclosed to, or withheld from, the defendant under that
Act:

(e) that the document alleged to contain the information requested does
not exist or, despite reasonable efforts to locate it, cannot be found:

(f) that the information requested cannot be made available without
substantial collation or research:

(g) that the information requested is not held by the local authority and
the person dealing with the request has no grounds for believing that the
information is either—

(i) held by another local authority or a department or Minister of the
Crown or organisation; or

(ii) connected more closely with the functions of another local authority,
or a department or Minister of the Crown or organisation:

(h) that the request is frivolous or vexatious or that the information
requested is trivial.

 

Section 17B Duty to consider consulting person if request likely to be
refused

If a request is likely to be refused under section 17(e) or (f), the local
authority must, before that request is refused, consider whether
consulting with the person who made the request would assist that person
to make the request in a form that would remove the reason for the
refusal.

 

Regards

 

Jillian

Dear South Waikato District Council,

Can you supply:
1) a copy of all correspondence regarding Glenview Holiday Park
2) a list of any and all visits to said property by council
staff/contractors and reasons why
3) an explanation as to why the property rating file used to calculate
rates on Glenview appears not to include values/parameters that reflect
the true number of buildings on the property.

Yours faithfully,

Colin L Campbell
