CCC were able to fulfil my request.
This is surprising when you consider we are the South Island's major city. CCC have no Health and Safety Risk Assessment for the major risk event of the Alpine Faultline which is overdue to rupture in what is expected to be a major earthquake lasting over 4 minutes. It is predicted to be at least an 8 possibly a 9 magnitude quake. It will impact not only Christchurch City but the whole island dramatically.

Wow. So Christchurch City Council has no "risk assessment" for a city (and quite frankly the bulk of the S.I.) where it is currently expected that we will have an alpine fault event within only a few years.
Greymouth District Council seem decades ahead of these guys...
