What impact does the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 have on the availability of landowner names and addresses for RMA process purposes?
The Privacy Commissioner has advised that rating information can be used by LAs for resource management purposes, for example identification of affected parties. This is on the basis that the public interest in ensuring efficient administration overrides the private interest in protecting that information. Local authorities generally cannot release this information to third parties for other purposes.
