Justification for failing to enforce bylaw breach deadline.

John Walker made this Official Information request to Waitaki District Council

The request was refused by Waitaki District Council.

From: John Walker

Dear Waitaki District Council,

Attention Andrew Bardsley,
rooster complaint lodged 25/07/2024:

Our neighbour was given the deadline of August 8th to re-home their rooster as it was in breach of Waitaki General Bylaw (56).

On the day of the deadline, 8th August, council informed me that the deadline to re-home the rooster was no longer relevant as part 56 of the General Bylaw no longer applied, because the owner of the rooster had joined a recognised Poultry, Pigeon & Cage Bird Association, as stipulated in part 57 of the General Bylaw.

Due to the above, I asked council to please provide me a copy of the documentation/ evidence that had been provided by my neighbour as proof of membership in the Poultry, Pigeon & Cage Bird Association.

Council replied, that the owner of the rooster had provided council with the relevant evidence, that they were a member of the Poultry, Pigeon & Cage Bird Association, and that council cannot provide me with a copy of this, due to privacy considerations.

If council had in fact received proof of membership, prior to the 8th August deadline, why was my neighbour still petitioning the Poultry, Pigeon & Cage Bird Association for membership, as of 7pm on the 8th August,(documentation available on request)?

Once again I would like to request that council be open and transparent and provide the evidence received from my neighbour as proof of membership, if it exists thanks?

Yours faithfully,
Peter Walker & Heidi Thomson

Dear Waitaki District Council,

Attention Andrew Bardsley,
rooster complaint lodged 25/07/2024:

Our neighbour was given the deadline of August 8th to re-home their
rooster as it was in breach of Waitaki General Bylaw (56).

On the day of the deadline, 8th August, council informed me that the
deadline to re-home the rooster was no longer relevant as part 56 of the
General Bylaw no longer applied, because the owner of the rooster had
joined a recognised Poultry, Pigeon & Cage Bird Association, as stipulated
in part 57 of the General Bylaw.

Due to the above, I asked council to please provide me a copy of the
documentation/ evidence that had been provided by my neighbour as proof of
membership in the Poultry, Pigeon & Cage Bird Association.

Council replied, that the owner of the rooster had provided council with
the relevant evidence, that they were a member of the Poultry, Pigeon &
Cage Bird Association, and that council cannot provide me with a copy of
this, due to privacy considerations.

If council had in fact received proof of membership, prior to the 8th
August deadline, why was my neighbour still petitioning the Poultry,
Pigeon & Cage Bird Association for membership, as of 7pm on the 8th
August,(documentation available on request)?

Once again I would like to request that council be open and transparent
and provide the evidence received from my neighbour as proof of
membership, if it exists thanks?

Yours faithfully,
Peter Walker & Heidi Thomson

Dear Lgoima,

Waitaki District Council has been given authorisation to supply our neighbour's proof of membership.
A heavily redacted members ticket is not legal proof of membership.
Please send through an un-redacted copy of the member's ticket so that proof of membership can be verified.
You can send the un-redacted copy directly to my personal email address if you are unable to post it on this site due to any privacy concerns thanks.

Yours sincerely,

Peter Walker

Dear Waitaki District Council,

Attention Andrew Bardsley,
rooster complaint lodged 25/07/2024:

Our neighbour was given the deadline of August 8th to re-home their
rooster as it was in breach of Waitaki General Bylaw (56).

On the day of the deadline, 8th August, council informed me that the
deadline to re-home the rooster was no longer relevant as part 56 of the
General Bylaw no longer applied, because the owner of the rooster had
joined a recognised Poultry, Pigeon & Cage Bird Association, as stipulated
in part 57 of the General Bylaw.

Due to the above, I asked council to please provide me a copy of the
documentation/ evidence that had been provided by my neighbour as proof of
membership in the Poultry, Pigeon & Cage Bird Association.

Council replied, that the owner of the rooster had provided council with
the relevant evidence, that they were a member of the Poultry, Pigeon &
Cage Bird Association, and that council cannot provide me with a copy of
this, due to privacy considerations.

If council had in fact received proof of membership, prior to the 8th
August deadline, why was my neighbour still petitioning the Poultry,
Pigeon & Cage Bird Association for membership, as of 7pm on the 8th
August,(documentation available on request)?

Once again I would like to request that council be open and transparent
and provide the evidence received from my neighbour as proof of
membership, if it exists thanks?

Yours faithfully,
Peter Walker & Heidi Thomson

Good afternoon,

 

We have supplied the membership card with the redaction of the signature
to your personal email address.

 

It may help you to review Section7(2)(a) in the following link: [1]Local
Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 No 174 (as at 23
December 2023), Public Act 7 Other reasons for withholding official
information – New Zealand Legislation

 

The Privacy Act 2020 Principle 11 outlines our obligations around
disclosure of personal information in the following link: [2]Office of the
Privacy Commissioner | Principle 11 - Disclosure of personal information

 

‘[3]Principle 11 means that an organisation may generally only disclose
personal information for the purpose for which it was originally collected
or obtained. Sometimes other reasons for disclosure are allowed, such as
disclosure for a directly related purpose, or if the person in question
gives their permission for the disclosure’ Privacy Commissioner.

 

In this instance we do not have the permission of the individual who
signed the membership card to disclose their signature.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman.
Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[4][9]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

Dear Lgoima,

Thank you for your reply.

I will seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman regarding Waitaki
District Council's decision not to provide an un-redacted copy of the
Secretary's signature on the members ticket.

Please advise if my previous request for an un-redacted copy of the email
that Waitaki District Council published on this forum will be sent to my
personal email address, or will I have to seek an investigation and review
by the Ombudsman for this as well thanks?

Yours sincerely,
