Sunday Library Closure
Dennis Asgard made this Official Information request to Whangarei District Council
Response to this request is long overdue. By law Whangarei District Council should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.
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 ultimately 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. Clearly, I do not (and should not) want to see the details of named staff members who fill these resourced rosters.
Yours faithfully,
Dennis Asgard
Things to do with this request
- Add an annotation (to help the requester or others)
- Download a zip file of all correspondence (note: this contains the same information already available above).
