Dear Wellington City Council,

 

A recent note on the Wellington City Council facebook group noted that
there are

 

"Still some vacancies in our third Te Kainga rental building"

 

As usual 90% of the comments on the post were alluding to the fact that
this really doesn't stack up for the ratepayer despite a post from
Wellington City Council saying "Wellingtonians have told us they need more
housing options" - the reason you get 90% negative comments are because
you gerrymander the questions to get the outcome you want, complete the
project, go more into debt, pass the costs onto the ratepayer and destroy
our city with wasteful spending because you don't actually "consult", and
when you do you go ahead with the project anyway!! 

 

The post also noted that this is a "cost neutral programme and has no
impact on rates"

 

Bearing this in mind can you please provide

 

- The referendum, survey, sample size, options, alternatives, any and all
information that confirms Wellingtonians want more housing options and how
Wellington City Council determine that the majority of Wellingtonians want
more housing and the options Wellington City Council have to deliver more
housing and the proposed costs

- The feasibility, analysis, reporting associated with the three Te Kainga
rental buildings that determine these projects to be "cost neutral"
including but not limited to long term lease (including lease document),
CAPEX / cost share, forecast rents, vacancy, management costs,
administration costs, additional staff at WCC, maintenance costs, OPEX,
responsibility of rates.  Any and all reporting, recommendations that show
these projects to be "cost neutral", completed internally and externally. 

- Also provide the lead time of these buildings - when were the long term
leases signed, WCC started paying rent versus when these could be
delivered and a rental return

- Please provide current occupancy of these units as well

 

Yours faithfully,

Chris

Kia ora Chris,

 

Thank you for your request made under the Local Government Official
Information and Meetings Act 1987 (the Act), received on 29 March 2023.

The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no
later than 20 working days after the day we received your request.
Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our
decision, to 19 May 2023, if not sooner.

 

This extension is necessary because consultations necessary to make a
decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably
be made within the original time limit.

 

Right of review 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Further information is available on the Ombudsman website,
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.   

 

Thank you again for your request and for your patience. Please be assured
whilst we do need to extend this decision date, we’ll be in touch as soon
as possible. 

 

Kind regards

Kia ora Chris,

 

Thank you for your response email.

 

With respect to your request for information made on 29 March 2023, the
following information was refused to you under section 7(2)(b)(ii) of the
Act:

 

•                     CAPEX/cost share information

•                     Any and all reporting, recommendations that show
these projects to be "cost neutral", completed internally and externally

 

This information was refused as the release of information in scope of
this request would likely unreasonably prejudice the position of Te
Kâinga’s commercial landlord, the decision to refuse this information
remains.

 

Whilst we were unable to provide you with this information, we were able
to provide the methodology of how each project is assessed, including
commentary, alongside the current occupancy data of each Te Kâinga
property.

 

Right of review

If you are not satisfied with the Council’s response, you may request the
Office of the Ombudsman to investigate the Council’s decision. Further
information is available on the Ombudsman website,
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.

 

Kind regards

Others

 

Dear BUS: Assurance,

 

Unfortunately this tells me nothing

 

I need all of the numbers with the spreadsheets as Wellington City Council
cannot be trusted

 

It has just come out that council has overestimated the benefits of this
30km zone by $250m - funny how the mistake falls in the category that will
cost ratepayers millions

 

So I have no confidence that the numbers completed by Wellington City
Council are correct as the waste,fraud and abuse of council dollars is
horrendous

 

Please provide all of the information as I have requested specifically the
spreadsheets - a complaint is being made to the Ombudsman

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Chris McCashin

Kia ora Chris,

 

 

 

Thank you for your request made under the Local Government Official 
Information and Meetings Act 1987 (the Act) and for your patience, it’s 
appreciated.

 

 

 

Wellington City Council has partly granted your request for information.

Where redactions are necessary or information withheld, a reason and 
appropriate grounds under the Act will be provided.

 

 

 

However, it will take us a little more time to prepare information for 
release.  I hope to provide you with a response by 2 June 2023 if not 
sooner.

 

 

 

Right of review 

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman
of  this decision. Further information is available on the Ombudsman
website, 
[6][7]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo....

 

 

 

Thank you again for your request. Please be assured whilst we do need to 
extend this decision date, we’ll be in touch as soon as possible. 

 

 

 

Kind regards

Kia ora Chris,

 

 

 

Thank you for your request made under the Local Government Official 
Information and Meetings Act 1987 (the Act), received on 29 March 2023.

 

 

 

The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no 
later than 20 working days after the day we received your request.

Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are 
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our 
decision, to 19 May 2023, if not sooner.

 

 

 

This extension is necessary because consultations necessary to make a 
decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot
reasonably  be made within the original time limit.

 

 

 

Right of review 

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman
of  this decision. Further information is available on the Ombudsman
website, 
[15][8]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo....
  

 

 

 

Thank you again for your request and for your patience. Please be assured 
whilst we do need to extend this decision date, we’ll be in touch as soon 
as possible. 

 

 

 

Kind regards
