Dear Wellington City Council,

I am a citizen of NZ and wish to log a question under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987.

I refer the lighting systems currently in place on the Wellington Waterfront Area. I understand these have recently been upgraded however this request covers all lighting systems from (and including) Te Papa Promenade around to the Police Maritime Unit based in the Old Ferry Building on Waterloo Quay’s service jetty.

My questions are:

What back up systems are in place to keep power to these lights in the event of a major power outage? (For example , in the event of a significant earthquake)

In the event of a sustained power outage how long (if at all) will back up power systems to these lights maintain integrity? IE how long will the lights stay on?

Has the entire lighting project that was planned to be put in place been fully implemented to date? If not when will this be completed?

Has the entire lighting project had it's full original requested funding approved and allocated?

Yours faithfully,

Roger Calkin
