Kia ora Levonne,

 

Thank you for contacting the Official Information team.

 

We have reviewed your request and note that, in its current form, it is
quite broad and may involve a large volume of information. To respond
fully, this would require substantial collation and/or research. Under
section 17(f) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings
Act 1987 (LGOIMA), a request may be refused if it cannot be made available
without significant collation or research.

 

Before considering refusal or applying a charge, we would like to offer
you the opportunity to refine your request. This could include narrowing
the timeframe (for example, to the last 2–3 years), identifying specific
documents or topics, or clarifying the exact information you are seeking.
For correspondence requests, it would also be helpful if you could provide
staff names, relevant keywords, and a defined timeframe (1 - 2 years).

 

Please let us know by 16 June 2026 if you would like to refine your
request. If we do not hear from you by this date, we may proceed with
considering whether to apply a charge or refuse the request under section
17(f).

 

Please note that any clarification or amendment to your request will be
treated as a new request for the purposes of calculating the statutory
response timeframe, in accordance with section 13(7) of LGOIMA.

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.

 

Ngâ mihi,

Subject: Official Information request - Grants allocation dates and
amounts

 

 

Dear Auckland Council,

Dear Privacy and Official Information Team,
Request under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act
1987 (LGOIMA)
I am writing to request information regarding the localized funding and
accountability metrics held by Auckland Council in relation to the Matuku
Reserve Trust (also operating as Matuku Link, Charity Registration:
CC53807).
Specifically, I request copies of the following documents spanning the
last 10 years (2016 to the present date):
Grant Allocation Documentation: All records detailing the approval, terms,
and exact dollar amounts for all regional, localized, or Local Board
grants awarded to the Trust (including the Storm Recovery/Resilience
grants and recent Regional Environmental/Volunteer Coordination grants).
Financial Accountability & Acquittal Records: Copies of all milestone
progress reports, receipts, expenditure declarations, and accountability
logs submitted to Auckland Council or its local boards by the Matuku
Reserve Trust to satisfy their funding contract conditions.
Correspondence on Funding Declarations: Any recorded documentation or
project audits demonstrating that all council-funded allocations match the
declared operational outgoings of the trust.
I look forward to your response within the standard 20-working-day limit
as required under the Act. Please get in touch if you need to narrow or
clarify any aspect of this request.

Yours faithfully,

Levonne Scott
