Official Information Request - Lakefront

Sent: Monday, 23 August 2021 4:24 pm
Subject: LGOIMA request - CO2 emissions created when building new lakefront

I refer to your Official Information request of 6 August 2021 requesting the CO2 emissions created by Council when building the new lakefront.

The Council’s Climate Action Plan section M4.1 (approved in 2021) includes the action: “Council to review sustainable procurement policy and increase provisions for low carbon procurement including carbon assessment of significant capital works”. This work has yet to be undertaken.

Your request is therefore declined under section 17(e) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act ‘that the document alleged to contain the information requested does not exist …’

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

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 .
