Kia ora Sandra,
Information request – CAS-872460-Z4K1H9
Thank you for your further correspondence dated 6 March 2024, requesting information about infringements
served by Auckland Transport with reference to infringement numbers 3094510265 and 3094510278.
The information supplied to you in response to the previous case reference CAS-855721-Q4M2P2 stands and
was complete for the purpose of responding to the questions you asked.
Can AT provide a full copy of the relevant documentation for al actions that a warden must perform
when doing a check.
Refer to Appendix A for the guidelines attached to the 2 offences for which you received infringements.
Can AT provide procedures and / or processes that document attaching one infringement ticket to the
vehicle, but any others to not be attached to the vehicle.
This part of your request is declined under Section 17(e) of the LGOIMA as the information you are
requesting does not exist.
How an infringement is served is left to the discretion of the issuing warranted Parking Officer and there are
no guidelines documented about how to serve an infringement. The legal information that was supplied to
you stands. I have added it again as reference, please see below:
Serving an Infringement Notice
The Land Transport Act 1998 Section 139 makes provision for three methods that can be used by an
enforcement officer to serve an infringement notice. An infringement notice that is not served onto
a vehicle or in-person, is served via the post. Auckland Transport’s systems are designed to ensure
service in compliance with those service requirements.
Can the FIO response writer confirm that his wardens pay as much attention to detail in fol owing their
processes and procedures as he does in answering Official Information requests?
In this case, the attending warranted Officer followed the Infringement guidelines and at discretion made a
decision to serve the infringements via the post rather than onto the vehicle. The warranted Officer did not
write the response to the previous or to this request for that matter.
Can they provide records showing how often the fol owing has occurred in the last 3 years:
A single infringement is attached to the vehicle for a stationary infringement, but additional
infringement(s) are notified only by post
This part of your request is declined under Section 17(e) of the LGOIMA as the information you are
requesting does not exist.
A single infringement is attached to the vehicle for a stationary infringement, but additional
infringement(s) are notified only in person
This part of your request is declined under Section 17(e) of the LGOIMA as the information you are
requesting does not exist.
A single infringement is attached to the vehicle for a stationary infringement, but additional
infringement(s) are notified only in person and by post, i.e. not by attaching a stationary infringement.
Where there are multiple infringements, they are attached to the vehicle for a stationary infringement
This part of your request is declined under Section 17(e) of the LGOIMA as the information you are
requesting does not exist.
We trust this clarifies your request, but should you believe that we have not dealt with your request
appropriately, you are able to make a complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman in accordance with
section 27(3) of the LGOIMA Act and seek an investigation and review in regard to this matter.
Regards
John Strawbridge
Group Manager, Parking Services & Compliance
