Subject: Official Information Act request - Use of video or audio
surveillance for dog control purposes

Dear Tauranga City Council,

Today Stuff reported that the Christchurch City Council was using audio
surveillance devices for dog control purposes ("Council puts secret
listening device in couple's garden after dog complaint", Stuff, 16 March
2016). I would like to request the following information under the LGOIMA:

* Whether the Tauranga city council uses video or audio surveillance
devices for dog-control purposes;
* if so, a copy of any applicapble policy covering such surveillance. If
there is no formal policy, I would like to know the evidential bar
required for such surveillance to begin, who approves or can approve it,
whether consent is sought from targets or affected property owners, who
carries it out and the methods used.
* if video or audio surveillance is used, I would like to know the number
of times each has been used in the last year, the number of occasions it
was done without consent, and the number of occasions consent was sought
but not granted.

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about
this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the
fyi.org.nz website.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Harris
