Subject: Official Information request - Recovery office. Transparency in
decision-making process for Muriwai

 

 

Dear Auckland Council,
We live on Domain Crescent and are currently given category 2A by Auckland
Council. Our houses are classified by GHD to be at an intolerable risk of
life. Property owners at Domain Crescent 46, 48, and 50 have pleaded to be
treated with the same equality as properties 34, 36, and 38, which were
given the option to move away from the intolerable risk to life by means
of a buyout.

Properties Domain Crescent 34, 36, and 38 were given the same suggested
mitigation by GHD, but for unknown reasons, properties at 46, 48, and 50
are being treated differently and are left to live in houses at
intolerable risk of life until a much later point.

I ask of Auckland Council to respond with transparency on this matter or
to treat our houses with the same equality so that we can also move on
with our lives, away from risk to life.

If Auckland Council believes they have grounds to discriminate against
these properties, then the following points need to be clarified:

- Why were properties 34, 36, and 38 not subject to a 2A category and a
business case assessment?
- Why are the properties being treated differently (list the differences)?
- What feasibility tests did Auckland Council perform before providing
properties 34, 36, and 38 with their final category (3)?
- Has the recovery office staff who were involved in categorization
declared any previous relationships with property owners 34, 36, and 38
(to avoid any conflict of interest)?

Yours faithfully,
Erik
