    Dear Tasman District Council,
I request copies of all documents, briefings, notes, phone logs, emails and any social media posts or messages made by Tasman District Council - including those of its staff where these staff claim their role in the Council as the reason for such communications - relating to Veterans' Affairs New Zealand, the New Zealand Remembrance Army and cleaning or restoration of service graves in cemeteries controlled by the Tasman District Council.
Yours faithfully,
Simon Ewing-Jarvie
        From: LGOIMA

    Kia ora Simon,

 Provincial Holidays and the period between 20 December and 10 January
 inclusive.  Please note Public Holiday: Queens' Birthday - 07 June 2021.
On this basis, we calculate a response to your request received is due by

 charge is likely to apply you will be notified ahead of the request being
 processed so that you can decide if you wish to proceed.  At that time you
 will also be given the option to refine your request.
Kind regards,

    Kia ora Simon,
We have reviewed your request for information and ask for clarification
 around the timescale period and specific areas in question, this will
 narrow the search for information at our end.
 
As you can imagine, in order for our staff members to obtain the precise
 documentation for you within the timescale allocated, minimise time taken
 sourcing/scanning and sending of said documents, it is important for us to
 provide you with the details requested (preferably in the first instance).
 
We look forward to hearing from you.
 
Kind regards,
Lee
