Dear Tina Maria

 

Thank you for your email dated 8 January 2024  to Kāinga Ora – Homes and
Communities requesting the following information:

 

please provide information on a development that was suppose to be
contructed into two 2 bedroom duplexes & one 3 bedroom town house at
Waiari street Conifer grove, Takanini, the estimated completion time was
said to be end of 2023........according to KAINGA ORA.......public
website.

 

We took a trip to the area & found that no development has even started as
advertised;

 

We have contacted PM Christopher Luxon, prior to seeing the empty site,
informing him that a client, who is currently in an emergency housing had
an interest in the new development....at Waiari street Conifer Grove
Takanini.

 

A WINZ case manager was asked to assist & support to make a request on
behalf of the client to Kainga ora regarding the new housing development;

 

We seek information whether this public housing, which should have been
developed on Waiari street was ever going to be developed &  purchased by
KAINGA ORA as it states..... and why has work not srarted on the empty
site, and if no development was going to happen, why was the information
not updated on your website.

 

Also provide us with the same information requesting above, relating to
another developnent in the Thames area at Pleasure & Harvey road Thames.

 

A copy of this request will be pasted into an email to the PM & new
housing minister.

 

We also inform you that we have looked at the PM 100 day action plan &
know that two out of 25 of his plans, asks for an independent review of
KAINGA ORA back office, financial situation, debt & asset management,
staff with tenants, management etc....

 

Also as well as now giving priority to all those sitting in an emergency
housing waiting to be housed, are now categorized as priority 1;

 

We request about why the developnents in the named areas above have not
been developed, knowing there is a large waiting list......

 

Please provide official information relating to developments at:

 

*Pleasure & Harvey road Thames and;

 

*Waiari street Takanini;

 

Photos of the supposedly developed housing according to your website that
showed pictures of what the completed homes were to look like & the
information of completion date, was screenshot & sent to the Prime
minister via email attachment.

 

 

You can expect to be notified of the decision on your request by 13
February 2023 at the latest, being 20 working days after the day on which
the request was received by Kāinga Ora in accordance with section 15(1) of
the Act.

 

If an extension of time is required to make a decision you will be
notified prior to that date in accordance with section 15A of the Act.

 

We may also contact you if further clarification or refinement of your
request is required to enable a decision to be made.

 

Yours sincerely

Kāinga Ora
