From: Rachael Graham
Dear Christchurch City Council,
As a Christchurch resident that has chosen not to receive a Covid-19 vaccine, due to past vaccine injury, I understand that I will be denied access to certain local amenities such as gyms, pools, libraries and many others.
Can you please provide the following:
(1) A full list of council funded public amenities that will require proof of vaccination as a condition of entry with the Traffic Light System
(2) The proportion of my council rates attributed to those amenities.
If I am to be denied access to such amenities, I need to be able to calculate the appropriate rates rebate.
Yours faithfully,
Rachael Graham

Dear Rachael
I refer to your request below:
(1) a full list of council funded public amenities that will require proof of vaccination as a
condition of entry
(2) the proportion of my council rates attributed to those amenities.
Council Response
We are awaiting final guidance from the Government on the Covid Protection Framework. Until we
receive this we cannot say which facilities may be subject to restrictions. We have therefore
decided to refuse this request under the following section of the LGOIMA - 17(g) – the
information requested is not held by the local authority. Once we know, any requirements will
be made public.
Council expenditure on facilities and levels of service is public information in the Council’s
Annual Report (most recent 12 October 2021):

email to [3][email address], by fax to (04) 471 2254, or by post to The
Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143.
