Official Information Request - 6 July 2020

Sent: Friday, 31 July 2020 11:38 am

Subject: LGOIMA request - artwork collection

I refer to your email of 6 July 2020 requesting information on artwork owned by Rotorua Lakes Council - name of each artwork, artist, value.

Attached is a list of the RLC-owned items in the Museum art collection. The total value of these items is approximately $10.7 million based on the information readily available.

• RLC owned items in the Museum art collection
• Civic Centre artworks

To provide individual values for each item would take a considerable amount of staff time to collate. This part of your request is therefore declined under section 17(f) of the Act 'that the information requested cannot be made available without substantial collation or research'.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Complaints can be sent by email to info@ombudsman.parliament.nz, by fax to (04) 471 2254, or by post to The Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143.

Publication of responses to LGOIMA requests

Please note: Our LGOIMA responses may be published on the Rotorua Lakes Council website after they have been responded to, with requesters' personal details withheld. If you have any concerns about this please contact the Council on info@rotorualc.nz .
