Dear Kainga Ora Correspondence,
Thankyou for your reply
I would appreciate it if you could answer my question 3 properly. I asked how many of your houses when tested for meth were over 1.5. I do not want to know how many houses were over 15.
Could you please provide that information
Yours sincerely,
Warren Murdoch

From: Kainga Ora Correspondence
Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities
Kia ora Warren,
I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your official information request
dated 30 August 2023 for the number of Kaianga Ora houses that have been
tested for meth contamination, and have returned a reading over
1.5ug/100cm2 between 1/8/22 to 31/7/23.
Clarification of the answer provided to your previous request
Please see attached for reference, our previous response dated 29 August
2023. We advised that Kāinga Ora has had 361 homes that exceeded the
methamphetamine (meth) decontamination threshold and been decontaminated
over the last five years.
To clarify, the 361 homes are inclusive of both the Sir Peter Gluckman
threshold (15 μg/100cm²), and the New Zealand Standard 8510:2017 threshold
(1.5 μg/100cm²), and therefore by default, all 361 homes would have
returned a reading over 1.5 μg/100cm².
Alternative interpretation of your current request
As you have advised you are not interested in how many houses were over
the Gluckman threshold, we can interpret your request to be for the
following:
- the number of Kaianga Ora houses that have been tested at a
threshold of 1.5 ug/100cm2 for meth contamination, and have returned a
reading over 1.5ug/100cm2, between 1/8/22 to 31/7/23’.
This interpretation will limit the request to be asking for just the
number of houses where we are contractually obligated to have a meth
testing threshold of 1.5, that have subsequently returned results
exceeding 1.5.
Timeframes to respond
If you are agreeable to this interpretation, we will consider your request
under the Office Information Act 1982, and will endeavour to respond to
your request as soon as possible, in any event no later than 20 working
days after the day we have received your confirmation, in accordance with
section 15(1AA) of the Act.
If we do not hear from you by 6 September 2023, we will consider your
request on its original merit, and respond to you no later than 27 August
2023, in accordance with section 15(1) of the Act.
If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will notify you of
an extension of that timeframe.
Yours sincerely
Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities.

Tçnâ koe Warren Murdoch,
We refer to your request of 17 August 2023, regarding the number of people
who are on the waiting list for Kainga Ora houses in Ohakune.
Following discussion with the Ombudsman’s office, we have decided to
reconsider our original decision on your request. We now consider there
overriding public interest in releasing this information, in the
circumstances of this request. Therefore, I can confirm for you that at
the time of your request, there were 11 households waiting for public
housing in Ohakune, made up of 38 people. These 11 households were
comprised of:
o 4 single person households.
o 4 single person households with 1 or 2 children.
o 3 single or two person households with 3 or more children.
We hope this satifies your original request.
