[FYI request #16051 email] LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL INFORMATION AND MEETINGS ACT REQUEST
Dear K Yang
I refer to your request for information dated 12 July 2021, which was received by Greater Wellington
Regional Council (Greater Wellington) on 12 July 2021, and later transferred to the Carterton District
Council.
On 21 July 2021, we received your request for the following:
“Could you please provide me with the following property price if possible? It is needed for
conducting a study about housing price and property supply in New Zealand. Your help will be
mentioned in the acknowledgement section if the research is published in a journal.
The property price needed is:
Average sale price of all residential houses in a territorial authority in a given year in
Wellington
There are 9 territorial authorities in Wellington. Please provide the average sale price in each
territorial authority.
In terms of the length of the data, is it possible to get the annual data from 2000 to 2021? For
the data in 2021, please include the most recent transactions when calculating the price.”
Your request has been considered under the Local Government Official Information and Meeting Act
1987 (the Act).
The information that you are requesting is not held with the Carterton District Council, therefore I
am refusing your request under section 17(g)(i) of the Act for the reason that the information is not
held with the Council.
Attached, is the Quotable Value (QV) recent response to the information you requested for each of
the Territorial Authorities in New Zealand. For more information on the house price index, refer to
the QV website:

Subject: Average house information
Dear K Yang,
I believe you are requesting property information from each of the Territorial Authorities in NZ
under the Official Information Act. Many of the Territorial Authorities are assigning the request
under the Official Information Act to QV as their valuation service provider and holder of their
District Valuation Roll.
Please find attached the average price of property for all TA’s (including historical information).
There is more information on our website about the house price index.
https://www.qv.co.nz/price-index/
I hope this meets your requirements and will eliminate the need to undertake individual requests
with each of the Regional or Territorial Authorities.
Please note - this information can be used in your research but cannot be distributed without our
permission. We would appreciate receiving a copy of your research when it is completed.
Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any queries.
Kind regards,
Mel
