Official information request - Request for noise complaint information for the period September 2025 to date
I refer to your official information request dated 07/08/2026The information you have requested is below
Council records show that, from 3 July 2026, four complaints of excessive noise have been received in relation to 71 Hedges Street, Sanson:
Two complaints were received on 3 July 2026 (CCR 97944 and CCR 97945).
One complaint was received on 21 July 2026 (CCR 98233).
One complaint was received on 31 July 2026 (CCR 98416).
A search of Council records has not identified any complaints of excessive noise relating to this property prior to 3 July 2026.
Two Directions to Abate Excessive Noise (END notices) have been issued in relation to the property.
The first END notice was issued on 4 July 2026. Following the issue of this notice, Council sent a warning letter to the occupants of the property and wrote to the property owner advising that an END notice had been issued.
The second END notice was served on the occupants on 1 August 2026. This was followed by a further warning letter to the occupants and a further letter to the property owner advising that an END notice had been issued.
Copies of the four CCR records, the two END notices, and the associated correspondence sent to the occupants and property owner are attached to this response.
Personal details (names, addresses, contact details, etc) of third parties, which have been withheld under section 7(2)(a) of the LGOIMA, to protect their privacy.
I do not consider that those persons’ privacy interests are outweighed by the public interest in the information’s release. Information withheld pursuant to this section will be redacted in the relevant documents.
Manawatū District Council may publish this response along with a summary of the request on our website. Requests and responses may be paraphrased.

Thankyou for your information request, the answers to which are below.
To answer your question, we have the following systems:
System type | System name | Supplier | System version | Notes |
ERP | Ozone | Datacom | 16 |
|
Financial Management | MagiQ | MagiQ software | N/A | We only use this for budgeting and forecasting purposes. This is a SaaS solution, and you can contact the vendor for latest version information. |
Procurement | New Zealand Government Electronic Tenders Service (GETS) | N/A
| N/A | We do not have an internal procurement system. We use a web-based government procurement system GETS. This is a SaaS solution, and you can contact the vendor for latest version information. |
HRIS | SharePoint | Microsoft | N/A | We don’t have an HRIS solution. We use SharePoint with various workflows we have built inside the council, such as onboarding and offboarding workflows. |
Payroll | Datapay | Datacom | N/A | This is a SaaS solution, and you can contact the vendor for latest version information. |
Enterprise Asset Management | RAMM |
| N/A | SaaS based product that all local government organisations must use for roading assets. We are also starting to utilise it for parks and property. This is a SaaS solution, and you can contact the vendor for latest version information. |
Enterprise Asset Management | Univerus Assets |
| N/A | Used for water utilities. This is a SaaS solution, and you can contact the vendor for latest version information. |
Any current strategy, roadmap, business case, options assessment, programme plan or investment proposal relating to the replacement, upgrade, migration, reimplementation or material redevelopment of those systems.
In the past year we have migrated from MagiQ on-prem to their SaaS based cloud equivalent and we have no current plans for changing to another business system.
We are in the process of migrating from Ozone to Datascape ERP.
We have thought about migrating from Univerus Assets to RAMM for water utilities, however this never eventuated in a serious option analysis, plan or a proposal. At the time, we felt it might be a good idea to use the same business system for all our assets however this would need a lot more groundwork and a future options analysis.
We have no plan to migrate from Datapay given that both Datapay and Datascape are Datacom products and it makes sense to keep them both, from integration and interoperability point of view.
We have met with a couple of HRIS vendors to review their solutions, however this never went further than product demo. We have attached a list of questions we had for each vendor during a product demo. In the end we decided to rebuild our workflows in SharePoint online.
Any approved or indicative budget, timeframe or target implementation date associated with those initiatives.
The only current and approved large scale IT project at the council is Datascape ERP implementation. The plan is to go live with the CRM module 2ndNov 2026, followed by Regulatory, Finance, Property and Rates modules around July 2027.
Any reports or presentations provided to the Council, a council committee, the chief executive or executive leadership team concerning those initiatives.
Yes, at the conclusion of the ERP RFP process, there was a recommendation report presented to the council recommending Datascape be approved as our preferred ERP choice. The recommendation was adopted, which is why we are now in the middle of implementing Datascape.
This report is being withheld under Section 7(2)(ii) as it would be likely to unreasonably prejudice the commercial position of the company. Datascape is in the middle of similar negotiations with other councils, and we cannot presently release this information.
Any current procurement plan, market engagement plan, request for information, request for proposal or other sourcing documentation relating to those initiatives.
Outside of ERP, there are no current or related active RFIs and RFPs. Please find the attached RFP related to the ERP.
Where any information is withheld, please identify the specific statutory ground relied upon and release the balance of the document in accordance with section 16.
We will not be releasing any pricing information nor budget related information with respect to the ERP implementation given this is commercially sensitive, especially given that we have only recently completed the RFP process which includes competitive pricing from various vendors who participated in the RFP.
Datascape is in the middle of similar negotiations with other councils, and we cannot presently release this information.
Therefore, this information is being withheld under Section 7(2)(ii) as it would be likely to unreasonably prejudice the commercial position of the company.

Official information request -FLOW 212
I refer to your official information request dated 31/07/2026
The information you have requested is below
Council has reviewed the costs recorded to date for the Town Centre Refresh project, of which ‘Proposal 01: Covered Community Space in the Brick Quadrant of Manchester Square’ forms part.
Design
Council has incurred $50,855 excluding GST in design and associated professional costs for the Town Centre Refresh project.
Concept designs were commissioned for the first iteration of the Town Centre Refresh programme that outlines a range of activity including the proposed cover over the quadrant. As a result, Council is unable to identify the design costs specifically for the cover as it was part of a wider scope of work.
Consultation
Council has sought feedback for several years on possible improvements to the town centre. As part of this feedback process the idea for a cover over the quadrant again appeared. A proposed cover formed part of the town centre refresh concepts presented to council during the 2021-2031 and 2024-2034 long-term plan processes. Council approved investment into the town centre refresh programme in the 2024-2034 long term plan that included the cover over the quadrant and as a result the proposed investment in the town centre was consulted on. The consultation did not include concepts for the initial proposed programme of work given the funding was needed to develop those concepts.
Council is completing its initial consultation with the community now and should the cover over the quadrant proceed beyond this process, a fully notified Resource Consent process is required.
The identifiable external informal engagement cost to date is $240 excluding GST, relating to catering for engagement with CBD business owners. This engagement covered both the cover over the quadrant and the proposed one-way traffic alterations in the CBD and, therefore, the cost cannot be attributed solely to the cover.
MDC staff input
Elected members and council staff have contributed to the development of the proposals and associated engagement as part of their normal duties. Elected member and staff time has not been recorded for the town centre refresh programme and Council is unable to provide this information.
