LGOIMA Request Details

I refer to your Local Government Official Information Request dated 26 March 2025, in which you seek information relating to buildings identified as dangerous, affected, or insanitary under Sections 121 to 123 of the Building Act 2004. 

In summary, from 1 January 2020 to the present, the Council has issued seven notices. Of these, four were classified as dangerous and three as insanitary. Five of the seven notices have been lifted following compliance. There is no record in councils document management system of the remaining two notices being lifted. For further information, please refer to the attached documentation. 

Please note that Council holds no records of dangerous, affected, or insanitary notices in its document management system prior to 1 January 2020. Any earlier notices may exist only in hard copy within individual property files. Retrieving this information would require a manual review of the property files, which is a time-intensive process. Therefore, council is refusing this request under Section 17 (f) of the Official Information Act (1982) "That the information requested cannot be made available without substantial collation or research."  

Should you wish to proceed with this request, please be aware that staff time will be charged as follows: 

• The first hour of staff time is free of charge. 

Each subsequent half-hour (or part thereof) is charged at $38.00.
