Comments Tēnā koe Thank you for your request to data.govt.nz on 13 June 2023 for the following information: “I wish to know the location of cell phone towers in the street Alec Craig Way, Gulf Harbour, Auckland 0930 or any cell phone towers in Gulf Harbour, Army Bay, Manly and Whangaparaoa in Hibiscus Coast, Auckland”. The Ministry of Business, Innovation, Employment (MBIE) have handled your request in accordance with the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act). Cellular towers operated by the commercial mobile network operators, such as Spark and One NZ (Formerly Vodafone NZ), are privately owned and MBIE does not maintain a list of their locations. However, MBIE does maintain a register of radio transmission licences which includes data identifying the site of transmission in relation to each licence. The register is publicly accessible at https://rrf.rsm.govt.nz/ui/ and can provide an indication of cell tower location in relation to radio transmission licences. By following the “Search Licenses” tab you will be directed to a page where you can refine your search by location. A map will then be displayed, showing the location of radio transmission licences. The Register is also available from here: https://www.rsm.govt.nz/. As this information is publicly available, MBIE is refusing your request under section 18(d) of the Act, that the information requested is publicly available. If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request or this response, or if you require any further assistance, please contact OIA@mbie.govt.nz. You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of MBIE’s response to your request. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602. Nāku noa, nā Deborah Salter Manager Communications Policy Digital, Communications and Transformation, MBIE OIA Reference: DOIA 2223-2916
