Dear F. Jones

Thank you for your email received 9 February 2022 requesting, under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following information:

all advice from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development to the Minister of Housing since 1 July 2021, on the following:
- The performance of Kainga Ora
- Kainga Ora investment business cases
- Improving the Ministry's oversight and performance monitoring of Kainga Ora
- WCC's compliance with - and performance in relation to - the "Deed of Grant" signed with the Crown.

With reference to briefing number BRF2021040921 (proactively released by the Ministry under the OIA), please provide a copy of the "improved reporting" referred to in paragraph 68, and clarify whether this improved reporting allows the Ministry to now "report back on value for money and to track the deliverables that the borrowing requirements help finance"?

Your request has been forwarded to the appropriate officials to respond. You may expect a decision regarding your request to be sent to you as soon as possible, but no later than 20 working days from the receipt of your request by Te Tûâpapa Kura Kâinga – Ministry of Housing and Urban Development.

Dear F Jones,

The OIA requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the day we received your request.

Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision to 5 April 2022.

This extension is necessary because we need to consult with others.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

Ngâ mihi

Kind regards
