Subject: Official Information Act request - Communications about protest on 7 March 2013

Dear Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority,

On 7 March 2013 CERA revoked permission it had granted for a
protest to be held in the Christchurch Red Zone ("Cathedral Square
protest cancelled at last minute", Radio NZ, 7/3/13). I would like
to request the following information under the OIA:

* all communications held by CERA about the protest referred to
above, including (but not limited to) communications with the
protestors, other government agencies, Ministers, and ECan;
* any advice CERA received or gave on that protest;
* CERA's guidelines on whether to grant permission for protests or
other events in the Red Zone;
* if not included in the above, the reason(s) CERA originally
granted permission for the protest, and the reason(s) it revoked
it.

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about
this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the
fyi.org.nz website.

With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Harris

Dear Alex

There are no guidelines to grant permission for protests or other events in the Red Zone as such; but the decision about any entrance/events in the Red Zone is made pursuant to section 45 of the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act 2011, where by any approval granted by the Chief Executive of CERA can be withdrawn at any time, at the absolute discretion of the Chief Executive.

Kind regards,
Amy

Subject: Re: Official Information Act Request

Dear oce (CERA),

Thanks for your response. In my request, I had asked for "CERA's
guidelines on whether to grant permission for protests or other
events in the Red Zone". There are no such guidelines include din
the release. Can I conclude therefore that there are none?

Yours sincerely,

Alex Harris
