Dear Kainga Ora Correspondence,
There appears to be no signature by HOUSING NEW ZEALAND BUILD LIMITED on the agreement Access Licence (Preliminary and Infrastructure).
1./ Please provide an updated copy with all signatories.
2./ Please provide the Licence Commencement Date and the Licence Expiry Date
3./ Please advise and confirm that all Local Government Acts have been followed, such as but not limited to (and)
3.1./ Section 76(3)(b) - Decision-making. Considering the record turnout to a public meeting and the high opposition of the projects location and consultation process, do KO & RDC believe they have made the right decision and if so why?
3.2/ Section 77(1)(a) & 78(1) of the LGA (give consideration to the views and preferences of persons likely to be affected), do RDC & KO confirm these have been followed, and if so how?
3.3./ See examples here - https://oag.parliament.nz/2005/copy_of_2... Section 140 & 141 of the LGA - Do RDC & KO confirm these have been followed and if so how?
3.4./ Section 80(1) inconsistent decisions - Does RDC & KO believe this provision has been adhered to, and if so why?
3.5./ Section 82, consultation - Council advise they are at the very beginning of consultation on this project and the land disposal; however they have not had any further contact with rate-payers or the community other than on 31st August 2023. Will council be consulting on the land disposal (which is not present in the LTP and was not disclosed to Audit NZ). Will this project and contract be put on hold until proper consultation has been sought to follow the LGA obligations?
3.6./ Section 82A Information requirements for consultation. Council has not provided adequate information for the public, all information of substance has had to be sought by OIA, taking months to receive. Does RDC & KO believe that section 82A have been followed, and if so why?
3.7./ Section 83AA(a) fair representation of the major matters - The adoption of the "Public and Affordable Housing Asset and Tenancy Management Strategy" and the LTP asking a single question on housing, was not adequate information, nor provided any details of the intentions or scale of the project. Does RDC & KO believe that section 83AAA have been followed, and if so why?
4./ Does KO & RDC believe there is any breach to the agreements you have provided, and if so which?
5./ Many of the design aspects of the Resource Consent submitted are non-compliant with RDC's district plan and policies, 7.1(d), 7.3(c) & 13.2(c) refer to non-compliance. Who signed off on the agreement to these non-compliant activities being planned in the resource consent?
6./ RE2.2.2 of the RESIDENTIAL ZONE - POLICY has not been followed, who signed off on the acceptance of this?
7./ Council has agreed (on 31st August) to hold a special meeting, to decide the fate of the project, due to 90-95% of those in attendance apposed to the project, please advise how 20.1 (COUNCIL TO SUPPORT PROJECT) and clause 21, provide for any comment from council or how it allows them to terminate this agreement. Does KO believe these sections were fair to gag the council from supporting its community?
Many thanks

From: Barry Murphy
Dear Kainga Ora Correspondence,
I also ask you to reconsider sharing the price, as it would appear ngati rangi had access to this from before November 2022 and the agreement has been signed in April 2023 so should be made public.
It is very apparent that special treatment to ngati rangi has been provided over this whole project, and rate payers have not been considered at all.
A blessing was done in secrecy in December 2022, where a blessing is normally done in public and to celebrate good that is taking place, not to hide facts and be worried about being visible and raising questions. It’s very apparent this was all done in secrecy from documents released between kainga ora and ngati rang / council earlier today.
I want you to understand that I represent 1300+ petition signatures, which include over 400 rate payers of Ohakune, which is around half of the rate payers in the community; so public interest is high.
1./ I ask for your office to be more transparent and release the full contents of the emails between ngati rangi and Megan woods/kainga ora.
2./ I ask you to share the sale price, which has been made available to ngati rangi but not rate payers
3./ I ask why no consultation was had with the public / community & rate payers before 1st august 2023 (after resource consent acceptance), but ngati rangi were given all the information.
4./ + all my other questions submitted yesterday.
Yours sincerely,

c. See examples here -
[1][5]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...
Section 140 & 141 of the LGA - Do RDC & KO confirm these have been
followed and if so how?
d. Section 80(1) inconsistent decisions - Does RDC & KO believe this
provision has been adhered to, and if so why?
e. Section 82, consultation - Council advise they are at the very
beginning of consultation on this project and the land disposal; however
they have not had any further contact with rate-payers or the community
other than on 31st August 2023. Will council be consulting on the land
disposal (which is not present in the LTP and was not disclosed to Audit
NZ). Will this project and contract be put on hold until proper
consultation has been sought to follow the LGA obligations?
f. Section 82A Information requirements for consultation. Council has
not provided adequate information for the public, all information of
substance has had to be sought by OIA, taking months to receive. Does RDC
& KO believe that section 82A have been followed, and if so why?
g. Section 83AA(a) fair representation of the major matters - The
adoption of the "Public and Affordable Housing Asset and Tenancy
Management Strategy" and the LTP asking a single question on housing, was
not adequate information, nor provided any details of the intentions or
scale of the project. Does RDC & KO believe that section 83AAA have been
followed, and if so why?
4. Does KO & RDC believe there is any breach to the agreements you have
provided, and if so which?
5. Many of the design aspects of the Resource Consent submitted are
non-compliant with RDC's district plan and policies, 7.1(d), 7.3(c) &
13.2(c) refer to non-compliance. Who signed off on the agreement to these
non-compliant activities being planned in the resource consent?
6. RE2.2.2 of the RESIDENTIAL ZONE - POLICY has not been followed, who
signed off on the acceptance of this?
7. Council has agreed (on 31st August) to hold a special meeting, to
decide the fate of the project, due to 90-95% of those in attendance
opposed to the project, please advise how 20.1 (COUNCIL TO SUPPORT
PROJECT) and clause 21, provide for any comment from council or how it
allows them to terminate this agreement. Does KO believe these sections
were fair to gag the council from supporting its community?
8. Why was no consultation undertaken with the public / community & rate
payers before 1st august 2023 (after resource consent acceptance), but
ngati rangi were given all the information?
