Thank you for your email of 17 March 2024 to Te Kaunihera o Pôneke |
Wellington City Council (the Council), requesting the following
information:

The Council was recently involved in announcing a new housing area
“northwest” of the Basin Reserve. 

Please will you supply a copy of the announcement.

Please do define the area succinctly.

Please will you also supply an update of how the Council is going to build
in this area and expected timings till occupation.

Please also include what landownings the council owns in the area. 

Any other strategy you have for increasing the number of “homes” in the
area will also be appreciated. 

Please include any assessments of Ava Isla or v required infrastructure in
the area or state that this work has not been done. Infrastructure can be
limited to services of internet, power, potable water, stormwater, and
sewage. 

 

Your request has been considered under the Local Government Official
Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA) and has been partially granted
with some information withheld pursuant to the following sections:

o Section 7(2)(a) – to protect the privacy of individuals;
o Section 7(2)(b)(ii) – to protect information where the making
available of the information would be likely unreasonably to prejudice
the commercial position of the person who supplied or who is the
subject of the information;
o Section 7(2)(f)(i) – to maintain the effective conduct of public
affairs through the free and frank expression of opinions by or
between or to members or officers or employees.

 

As per section 7(1) of the LGOIMA, I do not consider that in the
circumstances of this response, the withholding of this information is
outweighed by the other considerations which render it desirable to be in
the public interest to make the information available.

 

However, I do need a little more time to finalise the response. I
anticipate a response to be sent to you by 30 April 2024, if not sooner.

 

You have the right, by way of complaint under section 28(1) of the LGOIMA,
to request an investigation and review of the Council’s decision to
withhold information 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].

 

Ngâ mihi,

Gareth
