One of the important functions of any council is to respond to requests for information under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA).
The questions that are asked cover a wide range of topics and the responses are now being proactively published on the council website. However, for privacy reasons, information that would identify an individual are not published.
New responses are published at the end of each month, at mackenzie.govt.nz > Council > Information Requests.
