Kia ora Max

Thank you for your email of 18 July 2023, in which you ask
"...how much the Hutt City Council paid for the lunch held at Wainuiomata during Matariki weekend. This includes payments made to third parties such as Love Wainuiomata relating to this event".

We advise that the 2023 Matariki lunch event in Wainuiomata was community led, and Hutt City Council did not contribute any money towards it.

As Hutt City Council did not contribute to this event, we are unable to address your further questions relating to other funding sources, event advertising, the invitation criteria or the number of attendees. Accordingly, your request for this information is refused under section 17(g) of the LGOIMA, as the information requested is not held by us and we have no grounds for believing that the information is held by, or more closely connected to the functions of, another agency.

Please note that our response to your information request, including your name, may be published on Hutt City Council’s website.

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