Dear Crown Infrastructure Partners,

I have received a copy of the agreements for the Teitei Drive "Ohakune Social Housing project"

-Kāinga Ora stated $2.1m was allocated to Ruapehu District Council for the build of 6 units in Moore Street, Ohakune. Documentation from CIP shows $2.405m agreed for 6 council social housing units in a form of a grant be agreed. It is also referred to as $2.175m +$230k contingency

It was also agreed to approve the release of $5.2m of Crown funds to MHUD and Käinga Ora as a grant for the delivery of the Ohakune Social Housing Project
-This includes the sale of 14 dwellings 'in one line' with a tag on the title requiring this housing stock to remain in the local, long-term rental market for a minimum period
- Ohakune 24 families /individual applicants on the MSD's social housing register, who have been waitingfor between 57 and 1096 days
-The land development will be mostly funded by the CIP funding. RDC will fund all overcosts required to complete the subdivision, site works and infrastructure services (roading, and 3 waters) and deliver 44 build ready lots for Käinga Ora to purchase.
-RDCs' milestones wil include provision of the required infrastructure, site earthworks, civil works and provision of subdivided, individual, serviced lots suitable for house construction

My Questions
1./ How much did RDC receive in the end for the Moore street project?
2./ Did council have to return any funds that were surplus as the project came in under budget.
3./ There is claim 24 families were waiting homes in ohakune, this is currently 12, can you confirm the date of your data stating 24 and source.
4./ Can you confirm that RDC will have to pay any overcosts over the $5.2m
5./ Can you confirm KO will be sold all 44 LOTS and for what price?
6./ Will RDC recoup any overcosts from question 5 during the sale?
7./ It is stated legal (on both sides) has looked over the project, was it determined that RDC had followed the LGA, their policy of significance, and advertised the disposal of council land in their LTP, or that council had adequately consulted on the sale of the land?
8./ Costing by Cheal had been done in 2020, were any cost increases factored in for inflation and the subterranean rocks / volcanic nature of the ground?
9./ Is it councils responsibility to sell the 14 dwellings in one line, or Kāinga Ora?
10./ If council is not able to sell the 14 dwellings, or makes a loss of doing so, who is responsible?
9./ Did anyone review the Public and Affordable Housing Asset and Tenancy Management Strategy to ensure the exercise is cost neutral to the rate payer, especially when large cost over runs are to be expected, pointed out by developers that have built the neighbouring Snowmass subdivision.
10./ Who came up with the project name "Ohakune Social Housing project"
11./ Is Kāinga Ora only purchasing the Stage 1 land, or the entire block (including stage 2 & 3).
12./ Do ministers & CIP, believe that with the community backlash, petition accepted into parliament, etc; that this project should still proceed without any consultation with the public?

Yours faithfully,

Barry Murphy

Dear Kainga Ora Correspondence,

1./ To date we have seen no partnership agreement with Ngāti Rangi.
2./ What input or money do Ngāti Rangi have in the project.
3./ Dont give me your stock standard 2020 consultation on the housing policy that had 21 submissions, which only 60% of which ticked the box. Why was the community not considered a partner and communicated with, considering rate payers own the land.
4./ Council consulted on ALL CIP projects in their 2020/2021 LTP, agenda items continued to provide updates on Taumarunui & Moore Street; yet not a single agenda item or suggestion of a large scale housing project was made until June 20th Facebook advertisement, by which time, the project was at consenting stage. Why did council change the way they consulted on matters by being discreet for this one Teitei project; please provide ALL documents since 2020 that suggest the project needed to be kept discreet or would cause any concerns by the community; I have already read the ones on your website, but there is lots more still not provided.
5./ Please provide Any and all emails since 2020 through to February 2022 (the date of which we already have OIA's / emails on your website) between Kāinga Ora and any contractors and RDC.
6./ Please provide any emails that reference Napier & Ruapehu in the same email, since 2020. Provide the entire thread of each.

Yours sincerely,

Barry Murphy

Dear Clint Owens,

I'm unsure why you needed the 6 month extension to provide nothing.
All the documents in the attached Sharepoint where from consent and included none of the new documents / drafts that were requested.

A complaint will be laid for such.

An answer has not been provided for Request 2 Question 5. As you state the resource consent and design documents were released on your website, but this is not the documents I asked for. I asked for the subsequent updates that were due out by September. I have requested the latest design documents or draft documents that related to the project and we still want these even though the project was withdrawn. We therefor again ask for the latest copy of the design layouts as at feb 2024 showing the layout of lots and any draft documents that show the layout and makeup of houses, parking etc.

Request 3 Question 4, we ask that you transfer to RDC as should be done under the Act.

Yours sincerely,

Barry Murphy
