Information on photographers/videographers operating on bus lanes

K Morias made this Official Information request to Wellington City Council

The request was successful.

From: K Morias

Dear Wellington City Council,

I have noticed over the last few months there has been a videocamera/camera with two operators either videoing or filming the bus lane on Adelaide Rd (near the Basin Reserve) and on Riddiford Street (near the the hospital). I am told by some colleagues that there are other places this is happening.

Under the LGOIMA could you please answer the following:

1) The locations of where these camera people have been operating in the last twelve months
2) The total cost (in wages) of having these camera people operating (July 2023 to date)
3) The specific reason there are two people operating a camera/video camera
4) The reason why the camera/video camera isn't permanently mounted in a way that doesn't require two people to operate it

Yours faithfully,

Concerned citizen
