Conditions of Use
This online Rating Information Database ("RID") is a public register of
information held about properties in Waitakere City Council's district required
by section 27 and 28 of the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002. By using
this RID you are stating that you have seen and agreed to the following
conditions of use and also those in Waitakere City
Council's Legal Statement, governing the use of this website (if you do
not accept all these conditions you must not use this RID).
RID Information
The information in this RID has been prepared and made in good faith. The
sources used are believed to be reliable. While all due care has been taken to
provide current and accurate information in the RID, and we have no reason to
believe that any information is inaccurate, Council does not warrant the
accuracy, adequacy or completeness of such information, and does not accept
responsibility for any loss suffered as a result of reliance by you upon the
accuracy or currency of information contained in the RID. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act do not apply to the
provision of information in the RID because it is made available in accordance
with statutory obligations and is not therefore provided in trade.
Please note that property values shown are as at 1 September 2007 and will be
reviewed as at 1 September 2010. These values are for rating purposes only,
current market values are not provided. RID information is updated as required
to reflect property improvements, settled objections, corrections etc. and
applied to the relevant rating year.
Privacy
The Council is required to provide access to property, valuation and rating
details in the RID and therefore cannot prevent public access to this
information, but notes that accounts information is not available. In addition,
the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 and amendments to the Rating Valuations
Act and Rules prevent the provision of owner or ratepayer names and postal
addresses in the RID. However, please note that Principle 11 of the Privacy Act
provides for access to personal information for authorised purposes eg. law
enforcement.
You have the right to access information about yourself and have it corrected
(an application must be made in writing - you should refer to the
Councils privacy statement for details of this and other privacy
information).
