Dear Linda
Thank you for your request of 21 February 2025 to Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities
under the Of icial Information Act 1982 (the Act) for the following information:
1. The full results of the OHI survey
2. A copy of any Board or ELT papers that mention the OHI
3. Any advice sent to ministers about the OHI
4. How much was spent on external companies or consultants to conduct the OHI
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working
days (21 March 2025) after the day we received your request. Unfortunately, it wil not be
possible to meet that time limit and we are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of
the time to make our decision under section15A(1)(b) of the Act, to
4 April 2025 (10 working
days).
This extension is required as consultations necessary to decide on your request are such
that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this response.
Information about how to make a complaint is available online at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by phone on 0800 802 602.
Yours sincerely
Rachel Kelly
Manager Government Services
