Subject: Official Information request - Penguins in council plans

 

Dear Waimate District Council,

 

Please supply the following information under the Official Information Act
(OIA) / Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act (LGOIMA):

 

Does council agree penguins exist on beaches in their area?

Does council agree penguins are adversely affected?

Have they got plan objectives concerning them? (biodiversity, fauna) or
similar?

Have they got plan policies concerning them? (biodiversity, fauna) or
similar?

Have they got plan rules concerning them? (biodiversity, fauna) or
similar?

If not rules, do they have other methods concerning them?

If any of the above plan matters apply, is it monitoring them?

Has it acted on monitoring?

Are there dog control bylaws over beach areas?

 

If you need any more information from me please let me know as soon as
possible.

I understand that a decision on a request for information under the

Yours faithfully,
