Dennis Asgard made this Official Information request to Whangarei District Council

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Dennis Asgard to read recent responses and update the status.

From: Dennis Asgard

Dear Whangarei District Council,

I am requesting the following information about the decision made by council to close Whangarei library on Sundays from 1 March 2026:

A copy of the weekly staffing roster broken down into days of the week, showing required staffing hours for the current 7-day a week roster that operates up until 1 March 2026 at Whangarei Library.

and

A copy of the proposed weekly staffing roster broken down into days of the week showing the increased required staffing hours for a 7-day a week operation at Whangarei Library that was considered unaffordable.

and

A copy of the weekly staffing roster broken down into days of the week, showing required staffing hours for the 6-day a week roster that operates from 1 March 2026 at Whangarei Library.

All information is required at a facility level with consolidated/anonymised roles. I do not (and should not) want to see the details of named staff members who fill these resourced rosters.

Yours faithfully,

Dennis Asgard
