Dear Christchurch City Council,
My request is for the following information:
All correspondence between Residents and Councillors, the Mayor and/or Staff in relation to prostitution in Christchurch.
For the purposes of the Act, I am a New Zealand citizen and residing in New Zealand at the time of making this request. You generally have 20 working days to respond to this notice, as required by law. Your response will be published publicly on the fyi.org.nz website.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Luke,
Thank you for your email.

Please note that your request would require the Council to undertake substantial collation and research to answer your question. This may result in a charge being made for this request or it being refused. In the first instance I invite you to refine your question so it can be assessed by staff.
Yours sincerely,

Dear CCC,
Happy to refine my query to complaints received by staff, the Mayor and Councillors in relation to prostitution.
Yours sincerely,
Luke Chandler
From: Official Information
Christchurch City Council
Dear Luke,
Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately, while your refinement is of some use, the information you
have requested would require staff to search through a very large amount
of information. The Council does not hold all correspondence on matters
such as prostitution in a central location. In addition, your request has
no specific timeframe, which would include all complaints ever received by
the Council. Could you please provide further refinement to your request?
At this point your request would most likely be refused as it would
require substantial collation and research.
Kind regards,
Sean
