From your request we were unsure whether you were requesting Council’s overall performance, or the customer satisfaction with services and facilities, as your question could align with either of these results. In 2017-2021 our customer satisfaction survey has included information on both “Overall performance” and “overall satisfaction with services and facilites” as below:
Year Overall performance Services and facilities
2021/22 quarter 1 69% 83%
2020/21 81% 83%
2019/20 78% 89%
2018/19 81% 92%
2017/18 83% 89%
2016/17 87% 87%
In previous years, the questions in Council’s satisfaction surveys were structured differently and therefore the results are presented differently. These surveys reported on individual services or activities of Council (e.g. “standard of food premises” or “provision of carparking”), with no aggregate score or questions on overall performance or reputation. This would not be comparable with the results above, nor does it appear to apply to the research topic you have outlined.

Under the LGOIMA we therefore request:
- a copy of the Designation referred to by Hamish Waugh in the Feilding Herald October 14, 2021, including when such designation was approved by Council.
Designation attached including processing officers' report.
- copies of documents approving the change from a Transfer Station (as per attached map) to what is currently proposed (Energy Plant?).
The designation refers to a resource recovery centre not a transfer station.
- We note that MDC is listed on Bioplant Energy's website as a partner. As a partner of the company applying for Resource Consent for activities on the MDC site at Kawakawa Road please provide a copy of the Assessment of Environmental Effects (AEE) relating to the proposed activities on the site titled 'Land designated for transfer station' on the attached map.
Manawatu District Council is not responsible for the content of external websites.
- Please also provide documentation relating to the creation and operation of the MDC/Bioplant partnership.
The "creation and operation" documentation referred to in the LGOIMA request is not Manawatu District Council documentation.
As you're well aware our Group has a vested interest, via the Environment Court, in relation to activities on the Kawakawa Road/FWTP site. As potentially affected parties of what is now being proposed it is considered deceitful at best that MDC has avoided any interaction at all with our Group regarding the development of this site.
- The attached designation approval and processing officers' report addresses the Assessment of Environmental Effects (AEE) relating to the Notice of Requirement which include:
- Traffic
- Noise
- Landscape
- Natural Hazards
- Cultural
- Positive effects
- The "group" referred to in the LGOIMA request has expressed its "vested interest" in the wastewater discharge consents relating to the operation of the Manawatu Wastewater Treatment Plant. The "group" were engaged with as an affected party during the discharge consent process for the Manawatu Wastewater Treatment Plant. The "group" were not deemed an affected party during the Notice of Requirement and planning designation process for the establishment of the resource recovery site which is the subject of the LGOIMA request.

Requested information: Public Notice Page 18 Manawatu Standard
Status: Complete

In response to your question " Who authorized this notice?" we respond as follows:
On 7 October 2021 a report to Council, presented by Chief Executive Shayne Harris, was resolved as per the Council Minutes below:
"Report of the Chief Executive dated 01 October 2021 seeking a resolution of Council to determine that it is desirable to set rates again under Section 119 of the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 due to an error in calculating the rates set for the 2021/22 year and to resolve to follow the process in section 119 of the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 to set the rates again.
RESOLVED
- That the Council determine that it is desirable to re-set the rates for the 2021-22 year using the process outlined in Section 119 of the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 due to an error in calculating the rates.
- That the Council note that setting the rates again will not increase the amount of rates assessed to any rating unit.
- That the Council give public notice of its intention to set the rate again.
- That the Council note that a report seeking revocation of the rating resolution made 29 June 2021 and providing amended resolutions to make in its place will be brought to Council for consideration at an extraordinary meeting to be held 28 October 2021 (after the public notice period required by section 119 of the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 is complete).
Moved by: Councillor Stuart Campbell
Seconded by: Her Worship the Mayor
CARRIED
This was the first step in the process.
The second step was a requirement of Section 119 of the Rating Act which requires a public notice to be published in the newspaper. The public notice underwent legal review to ensure its compliance with the regulations.
The third step is that 14 days following the public notice, on 28 October, an extraordinary meeting of Council will consider a resolution to revoke the previous rates resolution and resolve to re-set the rates.

Good morning, Emily
Our responses to your questions are below in red.
1. A list of all facilities, as well as administrative & miscellaneous buildings owned or administered by your Council that burn fossil fuels or that are heated by fossil fuels burned offsite (for example, in an energy centre that supplies heat to your facility), with a breakdown for each such facility of fossil fuel type, region, size of heat plant (MW), CO2 emissions, and any Discharge to Air consents held for this activity.
Attached please find Attachment A which is a list of all the MDC facilities that have natural gas supplying them.
1.Manawatu District Council does not have any consent for the discharge to air for any of its fossil fuel use.
