[FYI request #22758 email] Dear Andrew
Thank you for your email dated 10 May 2023 requesting the following information under the
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):
I am interested in the impact new Kainga Ora developments have on property prices
in the neighbourhood and suburb where they are built. That impact might be positive
or negative, and might vary over time.
Can you provide any statistics/reports/projections etc about property prices in
neighbourhoods and/or suburbs where a new Kāinga Ora development has been
established?
I am refusing your request under section 18(g)(i) of the Act as the information is not held by
Kāinga Ora and I have no grounds for believing that the information is held by another
agency.
Under section 28 of the Act you have the right to seek an investigation and review by the
Ombudsman of this response. Contact details for the Ombudsman can be found at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
Yours sincerely
Rachel Kelly
Manager Government Relations
