Ban on foreign purchasers of residential property
Cindy Black made this Official Information request to Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet
The request was refused by Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.
From: Cindy Black
Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,
I see in the news that the Prime Minister has announced a ban on foreign purchasers of residential housing in NZ.
Can you please provide copies of any and all advice received by the Prime Minister from public service officials, and any other advice received from any other sources related to this announcement and this proposed ban.
I envisage this advice should include what the ban actually is, what the legislative amendments would be to give effect to it, and whether it is in fact a ban, or in fact a requirement for a foreign purchaser to seek consent from the OIO. Advice on what affect legislation changes would actually have, and what impact any proposed legislative change would have on existing and proposed international agreements that NZ is or is intending to be a party to.
Yours faithfully,
Cindy Black
