The data gives a address and registration number of all cats and dogs within the Auckland Region. This should be a public document. This document will show were in Auckland the majority of pet owners are based.
It will give me the data base to attract clients for my start up Auckland based, business.

Kia ora Ruth,
Thank you for your request.
There are a few things we need to look at when considering your request -
1. We are restricted by the Dog Control Act to release the addresses and owners of the dogs.
2. The names of the dogs will not be helpful, e.g., the list could have 2355 dogs called Nala, 249099 dogs called Brutus, 57 dogs called Suzie.
3. It will be helpful for the purpose of the request if the period is narrowed down to the financial year. This is because some dogs that were registered in e.g., 2017, may no longer be living within West Auckland or may have died or disappeared and will not be a true reflection of the current dog population in West Auckland.
4. The list of dogs will have names of dogs currently registered and dogs on our books but not currently registered for the reason explained above at 3.
However, we can provide the number of dogs currently registered and the number of dogs still on record but not currently registered for the financial years 2017 – 2018 through to the last financial year 2022-2023.
If you are happy for us to provide this, please respond via this forum or contact us directly at Officialinformation@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz
Many thanks,
