Subject: Official Information Act request - Update regards vacant sections
Merton/Rimutaka/Ruahine Street, Upper Hutt

 

Dear Minister for Social Housing,

 

I'd appreciate if you could provide an update as to what is planned for
the vacant Housing New Zealand land located on Merton/Rimutaka/Merton
Street, Upper Hutt formerly occupied by Housing New Zealand Flats.

 

The land has been vacant for some time now and it would be good to see
this space utilised (be it by a private or public developer or both).
Personally I would not however like to see high density housing in this
position - it would be ideal for standalone single households.

 

Could you please provide copies of any documents, emails, correspondence,
meeting minutes, plans or other documents which are pertinent to the
intended future use of these particular properties which date from the
time of the previous building's demolition to now.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Fraser
