Tēnā koe SB,

 

I refer to your request of May 7, 2025  for Information about “Spending by
Council”. Your request was referred to council’s Finance Department for
consideration and they have supplied the information to you following
request.

 

o Request a breakdown of spending by the council, all councillors, and
the mayor

o Please follow the link to view council’s annual report for
financial year 2023/2024

o Please see the attached document that breaks down councillors and
mayoral spending for financial year 2023/2024 along with
2024/2025 year-to-date  (to April payment run).

 

The material represents our best efforts to locate relevant material.
However, the search process is by no means an exact science and given the
broad scope of your request it is possible that there may be other items
of relevance that have unintentionally been missed in the search.

 

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,

Delyse

Dear Whangarei District Council,

 

I am writing to request a breakdown of spending by the council, all
councillors and the mayor.

 

I am disappointed by the wasteful spending being done by this council and
want to know where every cent of our rates go.

 

This needs to include every meal, travel expense and claim everyone has
made who are elected by the public.

 

Yours faithfully,

SB
