developments by region
There are an additional 176 houses currently in planning or feasibility stages in these
suburbs. We are unable to provide any further details of these projects due to
ongoing negotiations and they may be subject to change. In the future however,
once decisions have been finalised we may publish properties for these suburbs on
our website.
Therefore, we are withholding the addresses and details to this part of your request,
pursuant to section 9(2)(j) of the Act, to enable a Minister of the Crown or any public
service agency or organisation holding the information to carry on, without prejudice
or disadvantage, negotiations (including commercial and industrial negotiations).
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of my
decision on your request. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by calling 0800 802 602.
Yours sincerely
