Thank you for your request of 3 December 2025 made under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act).

 

To protect ongoing negotiations and to protect the privacy of affected
landowners, we are unable to provide specific addresses for properties
still to be acquired for this project. This is to ensure we can negotiate
effectively with landowners, while respecting their privacy in their
discussions with us. On that basis, we are withholding the requested
information under the following sections of the Act:

o 9(2)(a) to protect the privacy of natural persons, including that of
deceased natural persons
o 9(2)(j) to enable NZTA to carry on, without prejudice or disadvantage,
negotiations (including commercial and industrial negotiations).

 

However, we are able to provide a list of streets where some property is
likely to be needed to be acquired, or where NZTA holds property titles.
This includes instances where NZTA is potentially looking to acquire land
either in full, in part, or underground (substrata). They are as follows:

o Kilbirnie Crescent, Kilbirnie
o Wellington Road, Kilbirnie
o Moxham Avenue, Hataitai
o Goa Street, Haitaitai
o Ruahine Street, Haitaitai
o Adelaide Road, Mt Cook
o Sussex Street, Mt Cook
o Tasman Street, Mt Cook
o Dufferin Street, Mt Cook
o Cambridge Terrace, Mt Victoria
o Kent Terrace, Mt Victoria
o Barker Street, Te Aro
o Austin Terrace, Mt Victoria
o Alexandra Road, Mt Victoria
o Dixon Street, Te Aro
o Macdonald Crescent, Te Aro
o Percival Street, Te Aro,
o The Terrace, Te Aro

 

With respect to the information that has been withheld, we do not consider
there are any other factors which would render it desirable, in the public
interest, to make the information available.

 

Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to
review our decision to withhold some information. The contact details for
the Ombudsman can be located at [1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz
