Under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA), I am requesting information about the Council’s use of Limited Notification and Public Notification in relation to subdivision applications across all areas managed by Wellington City Council, including the entire Wellington peninsula.

Specifically, I would like to know whether there are any zones, overlays, or geographic areas where it is current Council policy or practice to default subdivision applications to Limited or Public Notification, regardless of the specific effects or merits of the proposal.

If such a policy or pattern of practice exists, I request all supporting information that explains the reasoning, legal basis, planning objectives, or operational rationale for this approach. This includes but is not limited to relevant District Plan provisions, internal policy documents, staff guidance, decision-making criteria, and any Council or committee resolutions, an/or internal communication Teams or Email related to the matter.

I would also like to receive a summary of the subdivision applications processed over the past five years, showing per zone, overlay or geographic area how many were notified (either publicly or on a limited basis), and how many were non-notified. Please present this information in tabular form.

If clarification is required, I am happy to assist.

If the scope is perceived as too large to answer in a reasonable service delay, please provide do what you can, and include recommendation as to how you would prefer the remainder of the request be broken down into a number of distinct requests you will be able to process subsequently.
