Dear Ruapehu District Council,

 

On 24th September 2020 a meeting was held about affordable homes -
[6]https://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=8510&a...

32:48 into the call, member named "Nicholas Chan" in the Zoom call, stated
that financial modelling had demonstrated that the average cost of
servicing a section would be $100,000.

 

Question 1. Please provide details of who Nicholas Chan is to the council
and provide the financial modelling that was utilised.

 

We have a copy of document named "CIP funding application Social Housing
Final.docx.pdf" which shows a Capital cost of $7,780,000

 

Question 2: Please confirm the date this document was established with the
$7,780,000 figure Question 3: Please provide the supporting documentation
that provided the modelling to reach the value of $7,780,000 Question 4:
Please advise how many residential lots the $7,780,000 figure was to
support, i.e. at 50 lots that would account for $155,600 per lot or
$178,940 incl GST.

Question 5: Teitei Drive was apparently not a considered site at the time
of the Sep 2020 Zoom meeting; Please provide the financial modelling for
Teitei Drive that was used to support CIP funding requests and the
supporting documentation

 

In the same Zoom call
([7]https://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=8510&a...)
49:40 in, Clive Manley talks about the money from sales of properties
being recycled and there be a rolling re-investment in land development.
This is also stated in the ATMS document that went to consultation, that
from the sale on land/houses, it would generate revenue, not to make a
profit, but to allow council to continue to develop land, sell the lots
and then develop more lots, sell, develop, sell, develop.

 

Question 6: (a) When was it decided, (b) who decided, (c) what documents
reflect; the change from this model to gifting the land, or selling the
land at cost (for servicing), to Kāinga Ora.

 

Seconds later Ree Anderson confirmed this, and mentioned there was a go
and no go scenario for this to work.

 

Question 7: When did this scenario become a no go (as Red put it) and
please provide documents to support.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Ohakune Ratepayers and Residents' Society Inc
