Stefan Brown made this Official Information request to Upper Hutt City Council

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Stefan Brown to read recent responses and update the status.

From: Stefan Brown

Dear Upper Hutt City Council,

I am still awaiting the now long over due traffic modeling information as per my previous requests, that being the recent Abley traffic modeling data around the so called southern growth area. Could you please get this to me asap as you indicated you would.

I am also now wanting to know the complete breakdown of costs associated with Plan Change 49, including council staff time costs, and the costs of the commissioners to prepare their report, as well as the costs of any legal advice received throughout the process, with a summary of what those legal costs relate to.

Yours faithfully,

Stefan Brown

Tēnā koe Stefan

 

You made an official information request on 25 September 2024 for “the
complete breakdown of costs associated with Plan Change 49, including
council staff time costs, and the costs of the commissioners to prepare
their report, as well as the costs of any legal advice received throughout
the process, with a summary of what those legal costs relate to”.

 

Council officers did not record the amount of time that was spent working
on Plan Change 49 and we are unable to quantify the time costs. This part
of your request is refused under section 17(e) of the Local Government
Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (the Act) because the
information does not exist.

 

The total cost of commissioners was $188,388 (GST exclusive). This
includes both Plan Change 49 and Variation 1.

 

The total cost of external legal advice obtained was $23,043.00 (GST
exclusive). This includes both Plan Change 49 and Variation 1.

 

Your request for a summary of what those legal costs relates to is
withheld under section 7(g) of the Act to maintain legal professional
privilege.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available
at [1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
