Thank you for your information request of 16 May 2024, in which you have requested information about hiring of Wellington City Council venues.

In the second part of your request you have asked for
"...details and all communications of any events that were trying to be booked or were booked at council venues that “raised eyebrows” or potentially were of concern. This should include all communications involving council."

This part of your request is extremely broad, covering all council facilities, including parks, pools, libraries, meeting/venue rooms and other facilities. We require you to refine your request by a particular venue or venue type. We also require you to specify which communications (including sender and receiver) you are interested in and to specify a timeframe for this part of your request. If your request is not able to be refined appropriately, we will have to consider charging you for processing your request or refusing it under section 17(f), on the grounds that information requested cannot be made available with substantial collation or research.

We look forward to receiving your response.

Kind regards, Susan
