Thank you for your request of 28 February 2024 to Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities under the
Of icial Information Act 1982 (the Act):
Please provide the previously redacted sale price that was to be paid to Ruapehu District
Council for the land.
I am withholding this information under section 7(2)(i) of the Local Government Official Information and
Meetings Act to enable any local authority holding the information to carry on, without prejudice or
disadvantage, negotiations (including commercial and industrial negotiations).
In making this decision, I consider that this wil enable the Ruapehu District Council to carry out future
negotiations without prejudice or disadvantage.
The public interest in this information was considered, however, it was concluded that the public
interest in the information is not outweighed by the need to withhold it.
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.
