Subject: Official Information Act request - Advice on fund to facilitate
Auckland housing development

 

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
