Dear Tim

As you request is more closely related to the functions of Lakes
Environmental than Queenstown Lakes District Council, I am transferring
your request for information to the acting CEO of Lakes Environmental,
under section 12 of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings
Act 1987.

 

Regards

Barbara

Dear Barbara East,

I have not received a reply from the QLDC regarding my inquiry about redundancy payouts to Lakes Environmental employee Darryl Taylor who was dimissed and Hamish Dobbie for resigning from his position before his contract was finished. I've been informed by a representative of the OIA that by law, the authority, in this case the QLDC and/or lakes Environmental, should normally have responded promptly and by June 04, 2013.

Yours sincerely,

journalist, Wanaka Sun
Tim Brewster
