Recovery office. Transparency in decision-making process for Muriwai
Erik Engstroem made this Official Information request to Auckland Council
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Erik Engstroem to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Erik Engstroem
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
