Karl Bloxham made this Official Information request to Auckland Council

Response to this request is long overdue. By law Auckland Council should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.

From: Karl Bloxham

Dear Auckland Council,

Google Earth Pro provides historical images, in particular it provides an image dated 12/1963 of the North Shore of Auckland ie devonport to longbay inclusive of greenhithe.

It suggests the image is provided by NASA.

-Could you provide details to the acuracy of the image date of 12/1963.

-Whether the image is taken from an aeroplane or satellite

- details of the plane/satellite if possible.

-Is there similar age/source image in Councils possession for the rest of the Auckland region.

Yours faithfully,

Karl Bloxham

Dear Official Information,

Dear Sarah,

The image states "copyright 2018 Northshore City Council",
