Government Decisions in Response to the Royal Commission on Auckland Governance

General News | 04/27/2009

The Minister of Local Government has directed the Department of Internal Affairs to post Cabinet papers and minutes on the Government's decisions in response to the Royal Commission on Auckland Governance on its website. These papers are released consistent with the Official Information Act 1982.

Some documents are not available for release, and some deletions have been made to these published documents consistent with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982 (Part 1, Section 9 [2] f, g & h) for the withholding of information. These deletions, which represent a small amount of material, have been made, for example, in relation to legal advice and information on decision-making processes which are not yet complete, such as in relation to the transition from existing councils to the new Auckland Council. It is intended that further documents and information will be made public as they become available for release.
