LG 2196 - All documents pertaining to the Waituna West Hall property and rates invoices for Cheltenham Hunterville Road properties

We emailed you on 27 June 2023 asking that you clarify what it is you are looking for so we can provide the relevant information and we have not received a response.   
We also advised you that you have already received all the information regarding the old Hall site, as this is all contained within the property file documents you have already received, therefore we have nothing further to send you in this regard. 

We are however sending 3 files regarding the Waituna West Hall including the Relocation Committee file, the General Hall file and the file relating to Waituna West Hall Co Ltd liquidation and vesting assets to Kiwitea County Council in 1962. 

We have been able to recover digital copies of rates invoices for your property from the 2003/04 rating year onwards, which are included in the link below.  Unfortunately, due to the age of the system these documents are stored in, 5 instalment notices were unable to be retrieved, despite our IT teams best efforts. Invoices prior to 2003/04 will not be provided as it would require substantial collation and research and is therefore refused under section 17(f) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act.
