Draft Annual Plan 2023-2024

Privacy Statement 

We collect, use and disclose your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020 and the HCC Privacy Policy. Providing personal information in this survey is optional. Your information will be stored in a secure environment, is only accessible to authorised staff, and will only be used for the purposes stated below.  

The platform we use to collect your information is Bang the Table. Your information is shared with Bang the Table and any third parties they use to deliver their services. You can read the Bang the Table privacy statement here. 

Council manages its records in accordance with the provisions of the Public Records Act, which includes the authorised destruction of records once they are no longer required to be kept for legislative compliance or business purposes. 

What information is being collected in this survey and how is it used? 

You are asked to optionally provide demographic information (what city and suburb you live in, your age range, and ethnicity) so we can gauge the overall representativeness of survey respondents compared to the overall make-up of our total population when we report collated feedback back to Council. This helps us understand what parts of our community are responding and which groups are under-represented, which can also help us to better target our methods of engagement in the future. 

If you want to present to Council on their feedback, we collect a contact email so that we can follow-up to schedule you into a hearing. Your name (and organisation/group, if you are representing one) and feedback will be published in the Council agenda papers prior to the hearings in May, which are also open to the public. 

If you want to be kept informed about the outcome of this consultation, we collect a contact email so that this information can be provided to you. 

Further questions? 

If you have any questions about the consultation process, please email our team at haveyoursay@huttcity.govt.nz.   

You have the right to ask for a copy of any personal information we hold about you, and to ask for it to be corrected if you think it is wrong. If you’d like to ask for a copy of your information, or to have it corrected, please contact us at informationmanagementteam@huttcity.govt.nz, (04) 570 6666, Hutt City Council, Private Bag 31-912, Lower Hutt 5040, or by visiting us at 30 Laings Road, Lower Hutt.
