Subject: LGOIMA REQ.619181 Claydon C Information Request Kerikeri River
Survey by Total Marine 2015 20240202

 

Dear Northland Regional Council,

A year or two ago I spoke to Total Marine staff working on a barge in
Kerikeri river who told me they were carrying out a survey of the river,
funded by NRC, in preparation for the mooring pile replacement programme
which was originally planned for around 2015 but has still not happened.

It appears that the council has abandoned organising the pile replacement
and pile owners have been left to each organise contractors to replace
their own piles individually.

So that the money already spent on that survey is not entirely wasted, it
would be very helpful if NRC could please make public under this LGOIMA
request a complete copy of all the material (including data, documents,
drawings and reports) produced by Total Marine from their survey of the
river and moorings in case that data is of use to individual mooring
owners wanting to replace their piles and to identify piles which may or
may not need replacement.

For any data files please provide both the original machine-readable data
formats (CSV, vector graphic, spreadsheet, etc.) and a human-readable PDF
or JPEG version.

If the council has similar/relevant information from sources other than
Total marine or generated within the council (including internal documents
and correspondence about the pile replacement) then please include that
too.

I understand that some information may be withheld (such as hiding quoted
prices for commercial reasons), however I ask that no document is entirely
withheld - please only redact the minimum part of the document which must
be redacted and disclose the rest of it.

Yours faithfully,

Chris Claydon

Dear Mr Claydon

 

REQUEST FOR OFFICIAL INFORMATION

 

I refer to your request for information contained in your email of 2^nd
February 2024.

 

Your request for information relating to the survey carried out by Total
Marine of the Kerikeri River under the Local Government Official
Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA) has been considered and
granted.  Please find enclosed the following:

 

o All reports received from the survey undertaken in 2021. This survey
was of the riverbed substrate in which existing piles are embedded.

 

Regarding your request for all internal documents and internal
correspondence about the pile replacement, this would take substantial
collation and a charge will apply due to the amount of resource required
to process this request. The Regional Council holds many years of records
under individual files. In the interests of providing information quickly,
and of use, if you can be more specific about what would be helpful for
you in relation to your pile mooring that may be faster to provide.

 

The pile replacement project has been delayed due to complications
regarding consents, the ownership structure of piles, and contractor
availability. Options are still being looked at but the difficulties in
predicting accurate costs, along with owner’s abilities or wish to commit
are causing difficulties in moving forward.
