From: Alex Harris
Dear Minister for Building and Housing,
On 21 May 2015 the Minister of Building and Housing announced a fund to facilitate Auckland housing development, aimed at purchasing crown land from government entities to make it available for housing development. I would like to request the following information under the OIA:
* All advice (including Cabinet papers, briefings, aides memoire, notes etc) on the fund to facilitate Auckland housing development. I am aparticularly interested in what areas of land have been identified as being possibly available, and in the expected number of houses that may be able to be built on them. I am happy to exclude emails from this request.
I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about
this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the
fyi.org.nz website.
With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.
Yours faithfully,
Alex Harris

A response to this OIA request was due by June 22, but no response or extension letter appears to have been received. Will I be getting a response any time soon, or do I need to go to the Ombudsman?
