- Whether the omission of the Māori ward councillor was identified in any quality control, proofing, or review processes prior to publication.
There was no omission. The absence of the Mayoral candidate and Māori ward candidate was standard practice and not unexpected. This is due to the fact that both the Mayoral candidate and the Māori ward candidate were unopposed. Unopposed candidates do not appear in the candidate profile book. There are no emails relating to the identification of any omission.

I refer to your official information request dated 29 August 2025.
Attached is a copy of our current Performance and Reward Policy which explains the criteria, performance reviews and job sizing guidelines we use in regard to staff remuneration. You will notice that the Policy refers to a system for job sizing but does not specify that system – currently we use Strategic Pay.
You will find all the Elected members salary information in the annual reports which are located on our website. I've listed the sections and page numbers below to assist you with finding the figures.
Annual Report 2019-2020 – Section 30 on page 106
Annual Report 2020-2021 – Section 30 on page 127
Annual Report 2021-2022 – Section 30 on page 151
Annual Report 2022-2023 – Section 30 on page 156
Because we have many roles occupied by only one person, we are unable to give you the information broken down by job titles and paybands as this will identify the staff in the roles. Therefore, these have been withheld under section 7(2)(a) of the LGOIMA, to protect their privacy.
Instead, we are providing you with the midpoint/100% salary figure for each of the paybands over the last 5 years which will reflect the shifts year on year.

Status: Complete
Response:
I refer to your official information request dated 20 August 2025.
The information you have requested is below.
Of the 4 reports forwarded to Manawatu District Council, three (3) were works directly related to NZ Transport Agency works on the State Highway, and referred onto to NZ Transport Agency to address.
The remaining one (1) was utilities (sewer pipes) installation on the local authority road but had traffic management signage placed on the State highway to provide the early and safe warnings to road users entering the local road. That work was short term and since completed.

Date received: 14/08/2025
Requested information: Any documents held regarding the aerial 1080 drop over Manawatu Gorge
Status: Complete
Response:
I am writing in response to your request for information.
After consulting with the relevant departments, I can confirm that Manawatū District Council has not been involved in the 1080 drop over the Manawatū Gorge.
As the information you are seeking is more closely aligned with the work of the other agencies you have contacted, we believe they will be better placed to respond to your request.
