Miss M Quicken made this Official Information request to Wellington Regional Council

The request was successful.

From: Miss M Quicken

Dear Wellington Regional Council,

Re: https://fyi.org.nz/request/33838-revenue...

Please provide the bus operation budget for the current and previous five FYs.

I do not think this aggregate figure falls under s. 7(2)(b)(ii) and is therefore public information.

In fact council should proactively release these type of aggregate figures without having to rely on OIA.

Yours faithfully,

Miss M Quicken

Dear Samantha Gain,

It is not really my problem when GWRC has failed to proactively release the numbers in first place.

This is why I need to request the information separately which should have been in public first place.

I have complained to ombudsman of this punitive approach.

Yours sincerely,

Miss M Quicken
