Response to Request for information 2026-007
I refer to your request for information dated 05 January 2026 which was received by Greater
Wellington Regional Council (Greater Wellington) on 07 January 2026.
Greater Wellington responded to that request on 10 February 2026 noting that Officers would
continue to search for documents.
Two additional documents have been located and are being released, as follows
1. Attachment 48 - GMC for Services – Regional Emissions Plan – Plan writing
2. Attachment 49 – 1497-GWRC-WLRC-Regional-Emissions-Reductions-Plan-REO-
24227-ff.
Please note, we have withheld the personal names, contact details of any contractors and
officers phone numbers mentioned in any documents under section 7(2)(a) of the Local
Government Official Information and meetings Act 1987 (the Act) on the grounds that
withholding the information is necessary to protect the privacy of natural persons, including
that of deceased natural persons.
We have also withheld the hourly rates of any contractors and any hours of work from which the
hourly rate can be calculated under clause 7(2)((b)(i ) of the Act on the grounds that meaning
the information available would be likely unreasonably to prejudice the commercial position of
the person who supplied or who is the subject of the information.

We have considered whether the public interest in the requested information outweighs
Greater Wellington’s need to withhold the above information. As a result, we do not consider
that the public interest outweighs Greater Wellington’s reason for withholding some
information under the grounds identified above.
