Subject: Official Information request - Conflict of Interest statements
for Clive Anstey
 
[You don't often get email from
[FYI request #31510 email]. Learn why this is
important at [5]https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific...

To whom it may concern,

I am requesting copies of, or a summary of, the conflict of interest
statements submitted by the following employees and contractors of
Wellington City Council (WCC) and Greater Wellington Regional Council
(GWRC).

Specifically, I am seeking records for the years they were employed or
contracted, where their conflict of interest statements indicate or do not
indicate they are members of the Wellington Natural Heritage Trust (WNHT)
and/or noted any proposed or actual recusals from activities - especially
rural policy advice, design, leading, propagating, or requests lodged for
funding of these and other trusts to which they are trustees/board
members.

Please provide this information for as many years as records are
available. The individuals of interest:

Clive Anstey

For expediency's sake, we note that:
- the above person was hired by WCC for participation in the development
of the 2024 district plan regulations and responses to the public.
- the above person is a member of the Wellington Natural Heritage Trust.
- the WCC's LGOIMA page on its website states we are permitted to ask
about WCC organisations and contractors,
- the trusts the individual belongs to are already published either on
professional online resumes and/or the trusts themselves,
- the requests for funding for the WHNT from the environmental grant
funds, and by whom, are published on WCC's websites,
- documents containing the name of the individual showing activity within
the development of district planning as they were presented to
commissioners are also published by WCC

therefore conclude that the totality of the information requested is
already either in the public domain and not private information or within
your remit to make available.

We are especially concerned that a person with a demonstrable interest in
a private trust receiving funding from local government funded by rate
payers is participating in forming, defending rural design guidelines and
code.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Wellington City (Brooklyn) Rate Payer
