As required by the Gambling Act 2003 and the Local Government Act 2002, Kaikōura District Council is reviewing its current Kaikōura Class 4 Gambling Policy.

Amongst other matters the Policy must state whether Class 4 gaming machines are able to be established in the District, where they may be located, and the maximum number of machines allowed in the District.  As a result of the review changes are proposed, including reducing the maximum number of machines from the current maximum of 60, to a new maximum of 27.

GETTING YOU ACCURATE PROPERTY INFORMATION
20 Sep 2022

Go paperless


New system for property file requests from 8 Sept 2022
 
Want to view a property file? We are changing how we process a property file request. 

In the past Kaikōura District Council operated paper records.  For a number of years we have created and stored all new information electronically.  We have also been scanning historic files.  We have reached a stage where many property files are now a combination of electronic and paper documents.  
 
We know the file information can be critical for you to make important decisions.  To ensure that you get a complete set of documents every time you request a property file, we need to ensure you have both parts with the full information.  To do this we are changing how we process a property file request. 
 
To ensure that you get a complete set of documents every time you request a property file, we will now provide a fully electronic copy.  You can no longer view the physical property files on request in person at our offices (these will be scanned if necessary and included in the electronic copy).
 
If you wish to view a property file, please send us a completed Property File Request Form by email.  You can download a Property File Request Form here or call us on 03 319 5026 and we will send you a form.
