Unfortunately, Council does not hold the information you requested, specifically regarding the relationship between the various stated legislation and the Certificate of Acceptance. I am therefore refusing your request under section 17(g) of the LGOIMA because the information is not held.
In general, the legislation you have requested is already publicly available at: https://www.legislation.govt.nz/
From the above link you can search for:
- Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975
- Noting: The English Laws Act 1908 is hereby repealed.
- New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990
This link, LG_2288_Documents_for_release.zip, contains "the Good Governance Guide" which outlines councils lawful and legal relationship with the treaty. In essence, the Principles of the Treaty help guide the implementation of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in practice. The Council recognises the principles of Participation, Active Protection, Tribal Autonomy, Redress, and Duty to Consult. It also contains the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples document.
Regarding the Certificate of Acceptance, it is applicable in cases where work has been completed without a building consent or when a building consent authority is unable to issue a code compliance certificate. The use of this certificate is detailed in the Building Act 2004 (Part 2, sections 96-99).
You can find out more on the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment: https://www.building.govt.nz/projects-and-consents/sign-off-and-maintenance/completing-your-project/certificate-of-acceptance

The information you have requested is below and in the following link - LG_2283_Documents_to_release.zip . The link will expire after 7 days so remember to save any documents you wish to have continued access to. We recommend that this link is opened on a PC.
- Information about how many proposals to stop the legal road adjoining 524 Opawe Road, in Pohangina have been made since 2000.
There have been two proposals under Schedule 10 of the Local Government Act 1974 to stop the legal road adjoining 524 Opawe Road since 2000. One proposal was made in 2011, and another was made in 2021. For further information, the two Council reports initiating those proposals are provided alongside this response.
- Information about who proposed the road be stopped in each case above, focusing particularly on whether the proposal was by Council, another public body, an adjoining landowner or a private individual or group.
In both instances, and as can be seen in the Council reports provided, Council officers proposed the road stopping. Specifically, the 2011 proposal for the road stopping proposal was made by the Council's Roading Manager at the time, and the 2021 proposal was made by Wendy Thompson (an Infrastructure Planner) with assistance from Ryan O'Leary (a consultant planner).
- The total money spent by the Council since 2000 on the proposed road stopping in each case above including on lawyers, surveyors, The Property Group and other contractors but excluding expenditure associated with litigation in the District Court. To clarify, the purpose is to understand expenditure on the Council's administrative processes of considering and deciding on proposals to stop the road referred to above rather than expenditure responding to the District Court litigation about the road.
Below is the total money spent by the Council since 2010 (our Council financial records only go back to 2010) on the proposed road stopping in each case above including on lawyers, surveyors, The Property Group and other contractors. We have also included the expenditure associated with the litigation in the District Court as it is difficult to separate out Council's administrative processes and the expenditure on litigation.
