Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act investigation concerning the
Ruapehu District Council
Rebekah Crook
Delay in making a decision on request for official information
I have investigated and reviewed a delay by the Ruapehu District Council (the Council) to make a
decision on Ms Crook’s request for official information.
I have today formed the final opinion that the Council failed to meet the obligations imposed by
the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987.
I
enclose a copy of the letters to the Chief Executive of the Council, of 4 January 2024 and today’s
date. These letters set out the opinion on the complaint and the recommendations I have made.
