Dear Christchurch City Council,

In a recent media release about CCC celebrating 175th anniversary of Christchurch it stated:

"Despite the poll, Harrison-Hunt said the city council and Ngāi Tahu being treaty partners meant the anniversary should require rūnanga support to proceed rather than just general public opinion.";

1. Could the CCC release all information about the treaty partnership between itself and Ngai Tahu. - I take it this means the 'Treaty of Waitangi' and the partnership forged between the CCC and Ngai Tahu circa 1840 - however if the CCC have become treaty partners since then, I would be interested in all documentation that justifies that position by Councilor Harrison-Hunt.

2. Could the CCC release all information about how it now requires Runanga support to justify events in the city rather than working for the people of Christchurch who are the ratepayers and pay them?

Yours faithfully,

Tracy Clark
