Tçnâ koe Mike,

 

On behalf of Hon Kelvin Davis, thank you for your email of 12 May 2022. In
your email you requested the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982:

 

1.       Can you please tell me the number of properties sold and leased
back by the crown to iwi every year since the year 2000, the sale price of
those properties and the annual rents paid by the crown. Ideally please
provide this information for each property, but if that is too difficult
then just the total sale value each year and the total amount of rent paid
by the crown each year.

2.       I understand two iwi have as part of their treaty settlements
with the crown a relativity mechanism arrangement where once the value of
all treaty settlements exceeds one billion dollars they receive 16 or 17%
of the amount over one billion dollars paid directly to the iwi.  Can you
please tell me how much additional money under this relativity mechanism
has been paid to each iwi, and what if any estimates you have for the
amount of payments in future years. Please also advise how much of the
annual rent payable for properties sold by the crown to Iwi and leased
back to the crown has and is contributing to the amount of additional
money the two Iwi  receive to retain relativity with other treaty
settlements.

 

The information you requested is not held by the Minister for Mâori Crown
Relations – Te Arawhiti. As such, it has been agreed that your request be
transferred to the Office of Mâori Crown Relations: Te Arawhiti (the
agency) for response under section 14 of the Act as the information
requested is more closely connected with the functions of the agency.

 

You will hear further from Te Arawhiti regarding your request in due
course. Thank you.

Dear Kelvin Davis,

 

As part of the redress provided to iwi under treaty settlements the crown
often offers iwi the opportunity to buy properties owned and used by the
crown for things like police stations, courts, schools provided the crown
can lease those properties back from the iwi so it can still be used as a
police station etc.

 

Can you please tell me the number of properties sold and leased back by
the crown to iwi every year since the year 2000, the sale price of those
properties and the annual rents paid by the crown. Ideally please provide
this information for each property, but if that is too difficult then just
the total sale value each year and the total amount of rent paid by the
crown each year.

 

I understand two iwi have as part of their treaty settlements with the
crown a relativity mechanism arrangement where once the value of all
treaty settlements exceeds one billion dollars they receive 16 or 17% of
the amount over one billion dollars paid directly to the iwi.  Can you
please tell me how much additional money under this relativity mechanism
has been paid to each iwi, and what if any estimates you have for the
amount of payments in future years. Please also advise how much of the
annual rent payable for properties sold by the crown to Iwi and leased
back to the crown has and is contributing to the amount of additional
money the two Iwi  receive to retaIn relativity with other treaty
settlements.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Mike Patrick
