Tēnā koe Mr Derrickson 
 
Thank you for your email of 23 June 2025 to Te Kaunihera o Pōneke | Wellington City Council (the 
Council) requesting the following information: 
 
Thanks for providing monthly bus lane infringement data a couple of months ago. 
 
Can you please provide the same data for May 2025 (and June 2025 if it is available by the 
time you process this request)? 
 
 
Your request has been considered under the Local Government Of icial Information and Meetings Act 
1987 (LGOIMA). 
 
Bus Lane Camera data up to June 2025, including infringement costs, has been provided as an 
appendix.  
 
Please note the following:  
•  There will be some variance between these numbers as this reflects the lifecycle of a ticket, 
whereby a person issued with an infringement has up to 54 days to appeal the matter with 
Wellington City Council’s Parking Resolutions team. During this time, infringements may be 
reviewed and cancelled if found to have been incorrectly issued or circumstances that would 
warrant a warning, which can result in changes to the overall numbers. 
•  Infringement costs for driving in a bus lane is a flat rate of $150 per ticket issued. This fee is 
set out by central government in the Land Transport (Of ences and Penalties) Amendment 
Regulations 2004. 
•  Tripod enforcement was restricted to staff availability and was operating for a period of two 
hours at a time. Static camera enforcement is operational during the periods when the bus 
lane they monitor are in use. 
 
If you require further information, please contact [Wellington City Council request email].  
 
 
Nāku noa, nā
