Thank you for your enquiry 23 April 2018. Your request has been referred
to Legal Services for consideration under the provisions of the Local

Our response
The information collated and held by Council in reference to your request
is attached. Responses to your information requests and letters sent to
you from Council have not been provided as it is assumed you hold this
information. There will be some repetition in the information provided;
this is due to the fact that each request for service raised by you with
Council is linked as it relates to the same issue, property or person.
Please note that pursuant to section 7(2)(a) of the LGOIMA we have
redacted all references to personal information in order to protect the
privacy of natural persons including that of deceased natural persons.
Therefore in this instance we have withheld the names and email addresses
of all persons outside that of Council Officers.
We also rely on section 7(2)(g) of the LGOIMA; we find it necessary to
withhold information to maintain legal professional privilege. In this
instance we have withheld legal advice given to the organisation by
Council’s In-house Counsel on this matter.
Pursuant to section 13(1A) a local authority may charge for the supply of
official information, on this occasion we have decided not to apply a
charge. To date your requests for information surrounding this matter has
required the consultation of a number of key staff, as well as substantial
research in order to process your requests and provide you with a response
each time. Should you require further information regarding this matter a
charge will be applied. Our fees and charges are accessible on the Far
North District Council’s website which identifies official information
requests at a charge of $38.00 per half hour (GST incl.), the first hour
being free.
Should you be unsatisfied with the response you have a right of recourse
with the Ombudsman. The address should you require it is:

Dear Carla Ditchfield-Hunia,
Thank you for all the information, it is appreciated
There is just one document I would like a copy of.
That is a letter sent by Simon Grimme to Maree Levien stating there is no outstanding requirements on the property 500 Pupuke Mangapa rd, relating to the section 124 notice, This was sent around mid to late 2004
Although it is not covered by this official information request it is essential information that has importance to the determination I have applied for.
I have previously been sent this information but it has been lost as a result of a computer failure.
Rather than ask for another OIA request or request determinations to ask for this letter would you please provide it to me with all references to personal information removed.
Yours sincerely,
Gary Whitehead
