Tçnâ koe Colin,

 

I refer to your request of April 30, 2025  for Information about “CCTV
Footage”. Your request was referred to council’s Business Support
Department  for consideration to the following request:

 

o Please provide video footage

o being blocked and turned away from entering my council premises
o shortly before 09.00 possibly 08.50
o Tall guy in blue jeans with a beard carrying a blue umbrella in
one hand and a brown bottle in the other

 

Councils Business Support Department have provided a copy of the footage
from three angles that consists of 3:13 minutes of coverage. Whangarei
District Council does not have the ability to blur any other people in the
video for privacy and as a result we cannot email you a redacted version
of this footage. However, to assist with your request we invite you attend
a meeting at our council building where we will be happy show the footage
to you.

 

To further support your request, a copy of three stills from the footage
have been provided below to assist you.

 

                               

 

Please let us know if you would like to proceed with viewing the footage
at our offices, located at 9 Rust Avenue, Whangârei. We would appreciate
it if you could share a few suitable dates and times, and we will do our
best to accommodate your schedule.

 

I hope this information is of some assistance in responding to your
request. If you believe we have not responded appropriately to your
request, you have the right by way of complaint, under section 27(3) of
the Act, to apply to the Ombudsman to seek an investigation and review of
the decision.

 

 

Regards,
