Wellington Water crews stopped a wastewater overflow in Grenada Village which flows to the Porirua Stream. Residents are asked to avoid the the Porirua Stream from Grenada Village including Tawa to the outlet at the mouth of the Porirua Harbour until further notice.

Our LGOIMA policy

As a Council-Controlled Organisation (CCO), Wellington Water is subject to the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA) and must operate in a manner that promotes openness, transparency, and accountability, in line with the Local Government Act 2002. This policy reflects those obligations.

Download our Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act policy

Our commitment to availability, transparency, efficiency and accountability is at the heart of our LGOIMA policy. We strive to foster a culture of openness, ensuring that our community has access to information and can participate meaningfully in the democratic process. By upholding these values, we aim to build trust and strengthen our relationship with the public.

Scope

This policy applies to all requests for official information from members of the public, businesses, and organisations seeking information held by Wellington Water. 

 It does not apply to requests by individuals (or their agents) in relation to their personal information held by Wellington Water. Requests for an individual’s own personal information will be managed under the Privacy Act 2020 in accordance with the Privacy Policy. It applies to all Wellington Water staff, contractors and consultants acting on our behalf.

This  policy provides a framework to ensure all Wellington Water staff, contractors and consultants have a clear and consistent understanding of the approach to progressively increase access to official information in a timely manner, to facilitate public participation in decision-making and promote accountability.

Elected Member Query (EMQ) requests are managed similarly to this policy; however, they are not within the scope of LGOIMA.
