I refer to your request for information regarding property information in the Red Zone.
Are you please able to clarify and refine your request? Staff have looked into this and found it is not clear and has potential to be too large to answer. I.e. it could fall into LGOIMA s17(f) - the information cannot be found without substantial collation or research.
If you have any questions please let me know. Otherwise I look forward to your response.
Kind regards
Ella

Dear Ella,
I want to know what land, apartments, houses and other residential (only) facilities are owned by the CCC, but not detailed info for those owned by the CCC prior to Sept 2010, but typically normal information which would be held by you, in regards to the same, post Feb 2011...
1. Prior to Sept 2010;
a. list all properties held, and
b. the rating value at that date, and
2. Post Feb 2011;
a. list all properties held, and
b. the purchase price, and
c. rating value at purchase, and
d. current rating value, and
e. yearly rate obligation to pay, and
f. and confirmation whether the council “pays” the rate.
I realise the CCC owns plenty of utilities, service centres, and other assets pertaining to the CCC's role - I'm only interested in residential-zoned (and use) assets, whether used in the past, currently, and or what would be in the future (if owned by the CCC).
Yours sincerely,
Andrew Mitchell

Staff have informed me they would like to call you to fully understand your request.
I understand you have come through the FYI website, but would you be comfortable passing on a phone number so staff can contact you? Feel free to use a different email address as I believe all emails with an FYI email address are made publicly available on the FYI website.
Kind regards
Ella

Kia ora Andrew
I refer to your request for Red Zone property information.
Further to the conversation you had with Angus Smith, the Council’s
Property Consultancy Manger, we herewith provide the information that we
hope responds to your request. We apologise for the delay in the response.
It is probably helpful in terms of your request to firstly advise that the
council only purchases property to deliver public works, services and
infrastructure. It has not been this councils practice to purchase
property for the purpose of residential urban development and
regeneration. To that end here is an illustration of the Council’s
property portfolio composition.
We also attach a list of the residential properties the Council holds and
the purpose for which they were acquired or are held. In general, these
are associated with other purposes related to the delivery of public
services and activities and were not acquired specifically for residential
purposes. The pre-earthquake purchases with the date 26/02/2000 could have
been purchased before this date, but have that date recorded. This is
because that is the commencement date of the data base they were set up
in.
We hope this information is helpful and meets your requirements.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
Kind regards

I have been in contact with the information officer of the CCC, and the property's manager has been referred to me as they do not seem to understand my question.
Expecting contact 30 Oct 2023.
