Dear Andrew
In response to your official request of 29 September 2023 for information about the Southern
Super-City between the Christchurch City Council and neighbouring districts. We can confirm
that the Waimakariri District Council has had no correspondence, e-mails, letters, meetings, or
discussions about a proposed Southern Super-City.
A Southern Super-City is not a proposal that the Council has contemplated. As such, the Council
did not request any involvement or feedback from the residents and ratepayers of Waimakariri.
Thus, the Council cannot provide the requested documents under section 17(e) of the Local
Government Official Information and Meetings Act, 1987 as the document alleged to contain the
information requested does not exist.
I trust this answers your current query.
Yours sincerely
Sarah Nichols
Governance Manager
