Thank you for your email of 10 March 2024 to Wel ington City Council, requesting the following
information:
•
… all advice, reports, correspondence, or other documents produced by Council Officers
since 1 August 2023 on the subject of the Council's debt borrowing limits. This should
include all advice, reports, correspondence, or other documents relating to the impact of a
potential increase in the Council's debt borrowing limits beyond the current 225% limit.
Your request is being considered under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987
(LGOIMA).
This letter is to advise you that Wel ington City Council needs to extend the final date for making a decision
on your response for 20 working days, pursuant to section 14(1)(a) of the LGOIMA, as the request
necessitates a search through a large quantity of information and meeting the original time limit would
unreasonably interfere with the operations of the local authority.
For this reason, you can expect a response from Wel ington City Council no later than
8 May 2024.
You have the right, by way of complaint under section 27(3) of the LGOIMA, to request an investigation and
review of WCC’s decision to extend by the Ombudsman. Information about how to make a complaint is
available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
If you require further information, please contact
[email address].
Nāku noa, nā
