Dear Ministerial Services,

I have reviewed your response to my recent OIA request regarding the financial cost of the Defence Estate and have a follow-up question.

Why is there a substantial discrepancy between the numbers in your response and the value of the Defence Estate in the 2016-2030 Regeneration Plan? The latter lists the 2016 value at $4.2B made up of $1.5B in land and $2.8B as replacement value of buildings and infrastructure. Your response for the same year is $2.347B (rounded up).

Yours sincerely,

Simon Ewing-Jarvie

I have collated all the information received from these Defence Estate requests into a blog article that can be found here https://unclas.com/2019/02/11/mal-detat/ . The main difference in numbers provided by NZDF were around book value versus nominal replacement value. I have to give them credit for turning around the clarification request relatively quickly (9 days). Now what's needed is action by Government on an ageing but essential set of assets. Thanks FYI!
