Dear Christchurch City Holdings Ltd,
(note letter has been sent previously on 12 March 2024 to the CEO and Chair)

We welcome the increased governance oversight that has occurred recently regarding Christchurch Airport’s (CIAL) management of the Tarras Airport proposal (1).

While the media have quickly labeled the decisions as being a hold on the Tarras Airport proposal, Sustainable Tarras believes this isn’t what has been decided by CIAL or Christchurch City Holdings Limited (CCHL). The announcement documents clearly state that a more “cautious approach is warranted” and that time is needed to “reflect on the substantial work to date”. These are statements very concerning – is this not standard practice when over $60 million has been spent?

The CIAL letter does not state they are going to stop spending money, just that they need an extension of time. CCHL’s Chair’s letter is different to CIAL, yet CIAL is the one continuing to spend money.

Given CIAL have pushed out their project planning timeframes twice already, this and the other commentary represents little change and instead prompts further concern.

We request you use your heightened governance scrutiny to ask CIAL and CCHL the following, in addition to our earlier questions sent May 29, 2023 and February 19, 2024, which remain unanswered (2).

What do the two letters from CIAL and CCHL actually mean in practice?
What are the project costs to date?
What debt has been incurred to finance the proposal to date?
What current ongoing expenditures will be canceled?
What is the number of full-time equivalent staff planned for the quarter April-June 2024 on the project?
What is the number of consultants working on the project?
What is the return on the land in its current use?
How much more dividend could CIAL return if all project costs were stopped and the land sold?
Is the Tarras Community Fund still open for applications, and will it remain open?

Lastly, we note CCHL expects CIAL to “continue to engage effectively with local communities”. We welcome this, and look forward to receiving a far higher level of transparency, including the answers to the fundamental information we seek. In the meantime our community is living with a significant level of stress with CIAL as our neighbour.

I refer to your request dated 4 April 2024 for the following information:

1. What do the two letters from CIAL and CCHL actually mean in practice?
2. What are the project costs to date?
3. What debt has been incurred to finance the proposal to date?
4. What current ongoing expenditures will be canceled?
5. What is the number of full-time equivalent staff planned for the quarter April-June 2024 on the project?
6. What is the number of consultants working on the project?
7. What is the return on the land in its current use?
8. How much more dividend could CIAL return if all project costs were stopped and the land sold?
9. Is the Tarras Community Fund still open for applications, and will it remain open?

CCHL’s response
Question number 1:
CCHL has publicly stated that we continue to see Central Otago as a high growth region, and as such one that needs to resolve what role sustainable aviation will play in supporting that growth. There are options, one of which is a new airport in Tarras and as that will not be a static conversation, it is difficult to say that this, or any transport project in Central Otago, is definitively 'on hold'.

However, we do acknowledge the strategic context around that decision has changed in recent times. This includes new direction at a national and regional level on infrastructure priorities, and how we adapt to a future that provides for sustainable tourism. In addition to this, CCHL and Council, as our ultimate shareholder, have signalled we are operating in a more capital constrained environment. With this in mind, the CIAL Board has decided it is appropriate they take time to reflect on what this means for the Central Otago project. CCHL is supportive of that, and together with CIAL, we will remain an engaged stakeholder as the region grapples with these issues.

Question number 2 - 8:
The information included in your questions numbered 2 to 8 above is considered commercially sensitive and therefore we have decided to refuse your request to access that information under the following sections of the LGOIMA – Section (7(2)(b)(i)) is a trade secret or prejudice commercial position, (7(2)(b)(ii)) commercial activities (7(2)(h)), or negotiations (7(2)(i)).

In CCHL’s view the reasons for withholding these details are not outweighed by public interest considerations in section 7(1) favouring their release.

Question number 9:
Christchurch Airport has previously made the commitment to continue to have the Community Fund in place for as long as it owns its land in Tarras (see https://www.centralotagoairport.co.nz/up...). That commitment remains. If there were to be any change in that, Christchurch Airport would first discuss that with the Community Fund Committee overseeing the Fund.”

Hi Suze, thank you for your ongoing interest in CIAL’s activities in Central Otago.

As previously advised, CIAL are taking time to reflect on a range of new and evolving factors that will ultimately determine whether Central Otago requires new aviation capacity, in what location, to what scope and with what related co-investment. The process of engaging with the region, other stakeholders and relevant central government agencies on these matters is expected to take some time and will be important inputs into any detailed business case that is developed in the future, if an appropriate opportunity eventuates.

In other words, whether a new international airport proceeds at Tarras in the future is a matter for the region to solve. It is our expectation that as a landowner and experienced airport operator CIAL will engage in and contribute to those conversations, as required and where relevant. Indeed, they have released a significant amount of information from the preliminary work they undertook on aeronautical viability which is of benefit to a wide range of stakeholders. I am satisfied that CIAL have responded appropriately in listening to a range of views, including our own as a shareholder, in taking time to reconsider their approach. That decision has also reflected on and responded to the high level of public interest that had previously been shown on this matter.

What they are not doing is proceeding with a Greenfield airport development in the manner you have outlined in your email. I would note that QAC and QLDC own land and aviation assets that will also be relevant to regional considerations and future decisions. Likewise, we are conscious that consideration will also be given to existing airport capacity in Dunedin and Invercargill.

As such, I am also satisfied that the information you have asked for 1-7 is commercially sensitive given this is just one option that the region could consider in addressing future aviation needs.

In respect of your request for information relating to KPMG’s Investment Review of CIAL, this was proactively released in February 2024 and found on our website here: https://www.cchl.co.nz/uploads/images/CC...

You have the right to request the Ombudsman to review this decision. Complaints can be sent by email to [email address], by fax to (04) 471 2254, or by post to The Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143.

Kind regards

Kia ora Sue,

I received notification that you've extended your response to Friday. A couple of comments from me:

1. Please note that the first time we asked these questions of CCHL, is was via a letter to the CEO and Chair on March 12, 2024. We ask that you answer our questions fully, reflect on the public interest of our queries, and if you apply the commercial sensitivity or legal professional privileged rationale (LGOIMA – Section (7(2)(b)(i)) is a trade secret or prejudice commercial position, (7(2)(b)(ii)) commercial activities (7(2)(h)), or negotiations (7(2)(i))), that you explain clearly how these apply. We have asked these questions with good intent, and would argue that there is high interest in Christchurch Airport's proposal to build an international airport.

2. Please provide your response to this request chain: https://fyi.org.nz/request/26996-tarras-.... It is the more recent request and has an additional request to please provide a copy of any memos, reports, advice from KPMG relating to the detailed business case on CIAL as reported here on May 22 2024: https://newsroom.co.nz/2024/05/22/how-tr...

Yours sincerely,
Suze Keith
