Tçnâ koe Harrison,
I refer to your official information request we received on 2 December
2024 requesting the following:
Please provide all correspondence and advice sent and received by and from
the Office of the Auditor General and Christchurch City Council staff,
relating to the Conflicts of Interest of all elected members related to
the December 2nd, 2024 Plan Change 14 meeting of the Christchurch City
Council.
Refinement of request
In order to ensure that we provide you with the information that you’re
seeking, we require clarification on whether you are only looking for the
correspondence between Christchurch City Council and the Office of the
Auditor General (who only deal with pecuniary interests) or if you’re
seeking all correspondence relating to Conflicts of Interests for Elected
Members in relation to the 2 December 2024 Plan Change 14 meeting.
Once we receive the above refinement of your request we will continue to
process your request. Please do not hesitate to contact me at
[1][Christchurch City Council request email] using the reference 1254913 if
necessary.

Kia ora Jess,
Thank you for your response.
The intended scope of my request is broader than communications with the Auditor-General alone, but it is intended to capture pecuniary interests primarily.
I understand that a request of this scope and complexity may invoke concerns about s17(e) and (f), and would like to reassure you that under s17A I am happy to accept an extended timeframe and under 17B am happy to consult further on the scope of my request.
Yours sincerely,
Harrison McEvoy
