dMedia made this Official Information request to Gisborne District Council
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for dMedia to read recent responses and update the status.
From: dMedia
Dear Gisborne District Council,
For the financial year ending 30 June 2025, please provide the total amount of ratepayer-funded expenditure incurred by the Council on food and catering, excluding routine workplace provisions of tea, coffee, and milk supplied for staff.
This request includes food provided free of charge at meetings, workshops, functions, hui, and Council-run or Council-funded events, but excludes standard tea/coffee/milk provided as part of normal workplace facilities.
I am seeking only the total amount spent for the period specified. No itemisation or breakdown is required.
If this information is already held in summary or reporting form, I am happy to receive it in that format.
Thank you.
