Re: Communication Regarding Mayor and HOTC
Thank you for your email of 21 May 2026, requesting information about the
letter/correspondence Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown wrote to the Heart of the City
(HOTC) in March.
The letter sent by the Mayor to the HOTC board members has been withheld under
section 7(2)(c)(i) of LGOIMA. This is because the letter was provided in confidence
and releasing it would be likely to discourage similar information from being shared
in future where it is in the public interest for that information to continue to be
provided.
The decision by Auckland Council to release the information contained in this
response was made by Lou-Ann Ballantyne, General Manager Governance and
Engagement.
You have the right to complain to the Ombudsman if you believe we have not
responded appropriately to your request. Information about how to make a complaint
is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
