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.

The link will expire after 14 days so remember to save any documents you wish to have continued access to. We recommend that this link is opened on a PC.

Status: Complete
Response:
clarification as to whether the Council is still engaging with complainant or intends to respond, if so, when;
Yes, Council will be responding to requester regarding her complaint to the Chief Executive on 13 May 2023. Council acknowledges that there has been delays due to staff illness, shortages and absences, but is intending to respond by the end of this week.
clarification as to whether Mrs Horsfield has reached the end of complaints process;
The original complaint has not yet been resolved and the process is still underway.
The Notice to Fix (NTF) procedure going forward is:
The Building Officer has contacted the owner of the property to inform them about the NTF. An email was sent to the owner on 16 June 2023 with a further notice to fix.
The Building Officer will conduct a site visit to confirm the non-compliance.
If the non-compliance issue has not been solved within the given timeframe, a second NTF will be issued where an infringement fine of $1000 may be issued for not complying with the first NTF.
Generally, if the NTF’s have not been solved, the council may take court action.
any other information that the Council considers is relevant to this matter.
Council is also looking at the issue of privacy for the owner of 13 Prince Street and how we will be responding to requesters requests for detailed information.
Council will be using this to improve our complaint processes going forward.
