LGOIMA REQUEST: CRLGX00064/26 – PARKS AND RESERVES COSTS FOR 2023/34
Thank you for your email that we received on 4 March 2026 requesting the following information:
I would like to know the total cost of park and reserve maintenance in the Waipa district for the
2023/24 financial year. Additionally, from that cost, what are the top three parks and/or reserves
that cost the most in maintenance expenditure in that year.
We can inform you the general maintenance cost of parks and reserves in the Waipā District for the
financial year 2023/24 was $1,392,625. Please note this figure is not the ‘total’ maintenance costs
as during the 2023/24 financial year we did not record Park Operations staff time against specific
parks/reserves or reserve types. We are therefore withholding this level of information under
section 17(f) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 as that specific
information cannot be made available without substantial collation or research.
Further to this, we do not record maintenance costs against individual parks or reserves. We are
therefore unable to provide you with the three parks and/or reserves that cost the most in general
maintenance for the 2023/24 financial year pursuant to section 17(g)(i) of the Local Government
Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 as the information requested is not held by the local
authority.
You have the right to request the Ombudsman to investigate and review this response. The address
for the Office of the Ombudsman is PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143 or you can email
[email address] or freephone 0800 802 602.
Ngā mihi,
