Thank you for your request of 19 February 2024 to Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities
under the Of icial Information Act 1982 (the Act):
Your supporting document "OI 23 651 Section 92 Integrated transport assessment
combined material Redacted.pdf" includes an email from 26th July 2023 from Todd
Lanewell states under point 2, "Social housing in which car ownership is low and
that some of the house topologies are going to only support a parking demand of only one
car per dwelling".
1./ Why has KO continual y claimed that two car parks wil be provided for when they
clearly knew back in July 2023 that this wasn't the case?
2./ If you consider the above an opinion, please look at the supporting documentation you
provided and see for yourself under OIA responses you have provided; NZTA conditions
recently provided even state that its conditional on 2 car parks per dwelling
3./ The current Teitei Drive encroaches on Carrot Park and wil need to go through
consultation to legally vest as a legal road; thus no consent should be granted based on
no legal road exists for Teitei Drive. Please advise if this has been reviewed.
Information relating to parking in the proposed development has been provided to you with
previous requests. I do not consider that the first and second parts of your request are for
information under the Act. We are not obliged to create information or form an opinion to
respond to a request under the Act.
In relation to the third part of your request, I can advise that this has not been reviewed.
As you are aware, Kāinga Ora has withdrawn from the Teitei Drive development. Kāinga Ora will
continue to explore with its partner agencies the options available to address the housing
shortage in Ohakune. As we have only just made the decision to withdraw from the Teitei Drive
development, we do not have any specific plans yet.
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 Freephone 0800 802 602.
Please note that Kāinga Ora proactively releases its responses to official information requests
where possible. Our response to your request may be published at
https:/ kaingaora.govt.nz/publications/official-information-requests/, with your personal
information removed.
Nāku noa, nā
