Dear Tim McNamara
Request for Information – Local Government Official Information and Meetings
Act (the Act) 1987
We refer to your email dated 15 December 2024 for month-by-month figures for
the annual costs reported in the table within Slide 20 entitled "Estimated spend to
date".
Please find attached a spreadsheet that contains this information.
Note:
- The total costs per financial year differ slightly compared to the table shown
in the briefing presentation, as we were recently credited some funds due
to coloured PET previously being counted as a contaminant when it should
not have been. (2022/23: $315k vs $348k; 2023/24: $263k vs $276k).
If you are unhappy with this response, or with the way Council has arrived at the
fees it charges, you can seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman.
Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
Please note that this response to your information request may be published on
Hutt City Council’s website. Please refer to the following link:
