Dear Porirua City Council,

Thank you for your recent OIA reply- election in the Onepoto Ward.

I am writing to request information under the Local Government Official

Specifically, I would like to request access to the following:

Nomination documents submitted by Yan Zhang for the election.

Any conflict of interest disclosures she has provided to the council.

Any declaration of bankruptcy, if such a declaration was made or required.

Any name change certificate or supporting documentation, if applicable.

Any communications between Yan Zhang and the Council that relate to her
election, including emails or formal correspondence.

If any part of this request is likely to be refused under sections of the

Dear Moana Wyatt,

Could you please avoid using the link, as I’m unable to open it due to an
access code requirement? For transparency and ease of access on the FYI
website, could you also send it as an attachment so that everyone can view
it?

Yours sincerely,
