Tēnā koe Mr Mccashin
Thank you for your email of 14 August 2024 to Te Kaunihera o Pōneke | Wellington City Council (the
Council) requesting the following information:
1. I am writing to request the following for all of the previous Lets Get Wellington Moving projects
which have since been taken in-house - any and all projects including but not limited to
a. Thorndon Quay
b. Onepu Road
c. Adelaide Road
d. Berhampore Cycleway
e. Island Bay Cycleway
f. Recent Karori works
2. Any and all recent projects whereby cycleways have gone in. I am specifically requesting
a. Resource & Building consent applications for cycleway / roading projects
b. Resource & Building consent approvals
c. Consultation documents including with stakeholders - emergency services etc
d. Documentation confirming the developments meet the code of practice for land
development including but not limited to - code of practice for land development, road
design and construction (to include all vehicle crossings meeting the standards and
applications associated amending the vehicle crossings that are impacted)
e. Designs (meeting the standards for primary/secondary/arterial roads/principal, widths
etc),
f. Plantings
g. Traffic calming - ie can traffic calming measures being placed on arterial roads,
primary roads etc etc - per NZTA standards I didn't think speed humps could be
installed on these?
h. Visibility requirements / sight lines etc
i. Gradients associated with arterial, principal, collector, sub-collector and local roads
ensuring these projects comply - are speed humps factored into these gradients?
j. Carriageways
k. Traffic Islands
l. Road amenity and berm construction
m. Minimum widths
n. Parking
o. As-built requirements
p. Aesthetics / bollards - could a private developer put plastic bollards all over their
roads as part of a new subdivision
3. Ultimately I want the application and approval documents of all of these projects ensuring
they are meeting minimum standards per council guidelines notably Codes of Practice for
Land Development 2012 & Road Design and Construction 2012 - application documents for
amending road crossings where they have been done.
4.
Where these documents are not available (if that is the case) can you please explain why?
Where vehicle crossings, arterial road standards and site lines do not meet the standards can
you tell me which ones don't and the reason for this?
Your request has been considered under the Local Government Of icial Information and Meetings Act
1987 (LGOIMA).
On 21 August 2024, we requested that your request be refined as your request, as currently worded,
would require substantial collation and assessment of a considerable number of documents from the
Council’s systems. The email also advised that should we not receive a refinement that the response
would likely be refused.
As such, the Council has not received a response from you on the matter, and therefore I am refusing
your request in full, pursuant to section 17(f) of the LGOIMA, as the information requested cannot be
made available without substantial collation or research.
If you wish to refine your request, you may resubmit a new request with the refinements in place and
we wil consider the request anew.
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
of [email address].
