Thank you for your email of 27 March.  The Council's response to your
email is:

 

Question 3: You provided no official information regarding the basis or
advice in your response. This information should have been provided to the
Mayor and Councillors prior to the adoption decision of the Long Term Plan
that you refer to.

A copy of the report to the Council is available [1]here.  The idea of
selling some recreational land to pay for flagship projects is raised on
pages 8, 136 and 158 of the document. 

 

Please note that the Council has not adopted its Long Term Plan.  The
decision on 21 December 2017 related to adoption of supporting information
prior to preparing, for approval, the Consultation Document for the draft
Long Term Plan.

 

Question 4: You provided no official information regarding the proposal or
how it was communicated to the public.

Your question was answered.   No official information was requested.

 

Question 4: You did not provide an answer to the question of whether a
business case had been developed or any official information related to
this.

To clarify, no business case has been developed to date.  A business case
would only be developed should the Council resolve to invest in Flagship
Projects and fund those projects from proceeds from disposing of NPDC
land.   The Council will be considering all options following submissions
on the draft Long Term Plan.

 

Question 5: You provided no official information regarding the Mayor
communicating the selling of reserve land to the public after his
election.

Your question relates to the comments during the Mayors election
campaign.  This is not official information held by the Council.  You have
now clarified that you are interested in Mayoral communications to the
public following his election.  You can find a media release [2]here (18
December 2017). 

 

Question 6: You have provided no official information related to advice
received regarding the ability of the Fitzroy Golf Club to renew its
lease.

Your question asked what advice the Council has received – the Council
stated that it had received legal advice.

 

Question 7: You have provided no official information regarding advice
received by the Mayor from Council regarding the proposed sale.

Your question asked what advice the Mayor has received from the Council –
the Council stated that he had been briefed verbally. 

 

Regards

Julie Straka

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Further to your additional questions below:

 

1.            The 2012 Technical Report has never been formally presented
to councillors as part of a report or tabled at a Council meeting.

 

2.            As advised in my letter of 16 April 2018, “New Plymouth
District Council has received one external legal opinion in relation to
proposed sale of reserve land.  The Council has also received verbal
advice from Simpson Grierson at a Council workshop on 9 March 2018.   The
opinion and advice received has been withheld under section 7(2)(g) of the
LGOIMA to protect information which is subject to legal professional
privilege.  While initially the Council indicated that the opinion may be
released, due to the contentious nature of the proposal, the Council
asserts its right to legal professional privilege.”

Your request dated Friday 15 June 2018, received by Council on Monday 18
June 2018, is acknowledged.

 

The Council is required to respond no later than 20 working days after
receipt of the LGOIMA request; that being 16 July 2018.

 

The Council intends to release the legal advice, dated 30 January 2018,
obtained in respect of the Fitzroy Golf Club Lease.

 

Would you please review your questions that reference that opinion in
light of that proposed release.

 

In respect of the following questions:

Copy of all reports completed by Council staff  that consider or relate to
the sale of Reserve Land occupied by Fitzroy Golf Club, or the status of
the lease of the Fitzroy Golf Club, whether presented at a full Council
meeting or not. Please also provide dates and minutes / records of
meetings between Council Staff or elected representatives with 3rd parties
(such as New Plymouth Golf Club members) where the above matters were
discussed.

Council intends to refuse this request as it too broad and would require
substantial research and collation.

Could you please reconsider the question and state a date from which you
would like such a search to commence and what 3^rd parties you are
referring to.

 

Copy of all correspondence relating to the changes to the NPDC
Significance and Engagement Policy 5th September 2017 that provides for a
"whole of network" approach to be taken to Strategic assets, such as parks
and reserves, and that "consideration of a small portions of a network
(such as the disposal of a portion of a park) will not generally meet the
Strategic Asset test requiring LTP amendment"?

This question potentially also requires substantial research.

 

The Council may accordingly charge for such research and collation – that
charge is currently set at $120/hr or part thereof.

 

If you do not wish to modify your questions then the Council will estimate
the time it will take to research and collate your request and advise you
of that estimate.

In response to your information request dated 15 June 2018 and as amended
by your subsequent email dated 25 June 2018.

 

1.       Could you confirm that it took 7 months to receive this legal
advice (30th January 2018).

The Council workshop was held on 26 June 2017. Following that workshop
verbal legal advice was obtained which confirmed Council’s position.

On 26 January 2018, following public comment that the lease document gave
the golf club a right of renewal at the expiry of their lease and that
under the terms of the lease NPDC does not have the ability to follow
through on the proposal, Council obtained written legal advice.

 

2.       That public disclosures made by Council officers that there was
no right of renewal was not the key aspect or "a significant part" of the
legal advice sought and provided.

The requirement for waiver of legal privilege requires the client (in this
instance the Council) to “voluntarily disclose a significant part of the
legal advice”. On the assumption that the Council Officers were
referencing the legal opinion then it is the Council’s opinion that it did
not disclosure of a significant part of the legal advice.

 

3.       Council documents from 6-06-18 Extraordinary Meeting Agenda
states "The Fitzroy Golf Club lease provided for a single right of renewal
that was exercised for a term from 1 July 2002, expiring on 30 June 2023.
There is no further right of renewal."

The Officers’ response stated “The Fitzroy Golf Club lease provided for a
single right of renewal that was exercised for a term from 1 July 2002,
expiring on 30 June 2023. There is no further right of renewal.” Clearly
the Officer is referring to the Lease and not the Legal Opinion.

 

4.       Could you confirm that this statement does not disclose 'a
significant part' of the legal advice sought and provided?

Council confirms that this statement does not disclose 'a significant
part' of the legal advice sought and provided. The statement is referring
to the Lease.

 

5.       Please provide a copy of the legal opinion provided to the
Council concerning the ability of the Fitzroy Golf Club to renew its
lease.

A copy of the legal opinion is attached. Please note that:

Given the current situation and the fact that the proposal for
redevelopment of part of the Fitzroy Golf Club land has been removed from
the LTP, and given the interest the matter generated, Council has decided
to make an exception and release the legal advice obtained in relation to
the Fitzroy Golf Club’s lease.  This does not act as a waiver of any legal
professional privilege that may apply to any future advice that the
Council might obtain with respect to the Golf Club lease or the Peringa
Park land.”

 

6.       Please provide a copy of any reports prepared by Council Staff,
not previously provided under my original LGOIMA request (possibly in
error like the Workshops), that consider the sale of Reserve Land occupied
by Fitzroy Golf Club, or the status of the lease of the Fitzroy Golf Club,
whether presented at a fully constituted meeting of Council or not. The
commencement date for this request is 1st December 2016..

This request has previously been responded to.

 

7.       Copy of dates, minutes/records of meetings (not previously
disclosed as part of my original request) between Council Staff and the
Mayor with 3rd parties (Rudi Gesterkamp, Neil Evetts, Mel Cook, New
Plymouth Golf Club Inc; and the Taranaki Daily News) where the sale of the
Reserve Land occupied by Fitzroy Golf Club and/or the status of the lease
of the Fitzroy Golf Club was discussed.

No meeting took place between Rudi Gesterkamp, Council staff and the
Mayor.

No minutes were kept from the meeting between representatives of NP Golf
Club, the Mayor and Council staff.

 

 8. Please provide copies of any reports prepared by Council staff
relating to changes to the NPDC Significance and Engagement Policy
adopted on 5 September 2017, that provide for a "whole of network"
approach to be taken strategic assets Strategic assets, such as parks
and reserves, and that "consideration of a small portions of a network
(such as the disposal of a portion of a park) will not generally meet
the Strategic Asset test requiring LTP amendment"?

The Report is publically available information which can be accessed from
the Council’s website under Council Meetings. The Report is contained in
the Council Meeting Agenda for its meeting 5 September 2017.

 

 9. Please provide any reports which relate to the 'recycling' of Council
land or the development of a Council owned 'land business' based on
this approach? Commencement date for this would be 23 June 2017, being
the date of the 1st NPDC workshop on the sale of the Peringa Park
Recreational Reserve.

Reports that are relevant to your question is public information and can
be accessed from the Council’s website under Council Meetings; the
relevant meeting dates are:

21 December 2017

28 February 2018

26 March 2018

6 June 2018

Dear Innovation Expert

Council acknowledges your two emails bearing today's date.

The Council will treat the two email requests as one LGOIMA request.

1. Fitzroy Golf Club
2. Collaborative Community Plan

In respect of the video request I will forward to the appropriate staff member.

In respect of all other requests I will request that an estimate of time be provided; Council charges $120/hr.

Once that time estimate has been provided I will email to you the estimated cost of processing your LGOIMA request.

Regards

Dear Innovation Expert

 

Questions:

 

1.            Can you confirm that this is the position (i.e. unclear)
that was confirmed in a verbal legal opinion legal received by Council
from Simpson Grierson after the workshop on 26th June?

 

2.            Please can you provide the date on which the verbal opinion
was received?

 

3.            Please could you clarify in any released document the
'significant part' of the legal opinion that was not disclosed publicly by
Council officers and formed the basis of your decision to withhold the
opinion due to legal privilege?"

 

Response:

1.       The Council confirms that the verbal legal advice provided by SG
was consistent with the subsequent written SG legal opinion.

 

2.       The Council did not keep a record of the date on which the verbal
opinion was received.

 

3.       This request is not for information but rather an interpretation
of the reason for withholding the information which was subsequently
provided.

 

 

Question: Please provide the attachment referred to in the email from
Catherine Croot on 23 June 2017. This appears to have been omitted from
the previous material in error.
