From: Kendra Horne

Dear Christchurch City Council,

I am writing to request information under the Official Information Act regarding the accessibility of public recreation settings (pools, gyms, playgrounds, and parks):

1. The number of council-managed facilities that currently offer 'sensory hours' or scheduled low-sensory environments for individuals with neurodiverse needs.

2. Any internal policies or strategic plans that mandate 'inclusive by design' practices (beyond basic building code compliance) for new community projects.

3. Records of any consultations held with individuals with lived experience of physical or intellectual disabilities regarding the design of public digital or physical environments in the last 24 months.

Yours faithfully,

Kendra Horne
