Dear Adam,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of the 8^th of March 2021 requesting under the
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

“I wish to request under the Official Information Act the target number of
residency visas to be granted for the last 5 years each years and the
target year year for the next 5 years. I also wish to request how this
target is arrived at and calculated. Are the following factors are taken
into consideration when developing the total:

Net population growth (Births minus Deaths along with net gain or lose of
returning citizens) vs the total housing supply and number of new building
consents being granted.

New Zealand is in the midst of housing crisis and years of inadequate
planning on the demand side appears to have contributed to this. It would
be reassuring to know that once this pandemic is over the housing crisis
won't be further added to.”

 

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course.

 

If you have any enquiries regarding your request, or its urgency, feel
free to contact us via email at [1][MBIE request email].

 

Nâku noa, nâ
