o Please provide all resource consent applications where this is

In the absence of any clarification from you in response to our e-mail (2
October 2024), our understanding of your request is that it relates to the
activities of Tasman District Council staff members, permanent or
non-permanent, as opposed to external consultants.   On this basis we have
made enquiries with the Resource Consent team, who have advised they are
not aware of any Council Resource Consent officer that are conducting
activities on behalf of the Tahimana subdivision other than processing
consents.  We have also searched our Staff Interests Register using the
key words ‘Tahimana’ and ‘Stagecoach’ and there are no declared interests.
 
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
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.  

Yours sincerely 

Legal Services Officer
