Lawyer Shane Tait says they have filed an application at the High Court to change the location, but a date's not been set to hear their argument.
He will not comment on reasons for the requested move.
But Tait says alternative locations would likely be Auckland or Wellington.
The 28-year-old accused gunman entered not guilty pleas during a short appearance at the High Court at Christchurch in June.
The Australian national faces a total of 51 murder charges, 40 attempted murder charges and a terrorism charge.
