residence, including but not limited to Waipârûrû Hall, University Hall
(Apartments and Towers), Grafton Hall, O’Rorke Hall, Carlaw Park Student
Village, Te Tirohanga o te Tôangaroa, 55 Symonds, Goldie Estate, and any
other student residences, please provide the following for the 2022, 2023,
2024 and 2025 financial years:

* Any financial statements, profit and loss reports, management accounts,
cost-centre reports, budget reports, or equivalent financial reporting
held for each residence.

- operating expenditure;

- catering costs;
- repairs and maintenance;
- utilities;
- cleaning;
- depreciation or internal property charges, if allocated;
- any surplus, deficit, contribution margin, or equivalent internal
performance measure.
* Annual budgets and forecast-vs-actual reports for each residence.
* Occupancy reporting for each residence, including available beds,
occupied beds, occupancy rate, and any annual occupancy summaries.
* Any annual reports, operational reviews, business plans, performance

financial and operational performance of each residence.

Yours faithfully,

Joel.
