Subject: Official Information request - Ban on foreign purchase of nz houses

Dear Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade,

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 provided by MFAT 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 whether and how the proposal would be enforced and what implications it might have should be included as well as what resourcing impact is expected to enforce it, and what level of compliance is expected. 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 would also be appreciated.

Yours faithfully,

Cindy Black
