I refer to your email of 16 August 2019 requesting the inspection reports for both Rotorua Mart and Ronnies Caf Rotorua.

Council declines to provide these documents under section 17(c)(i) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act as 'the making available of the information requested would be contrary to the provisions of a specified enactment'.

For your information, details on when these premises were closed and subsequently reopened is contained on Council's website https://www.rotorualakescouncil.nz/our-services/permitsfoodliquorlicensing/food/Pages/default.aspx
