Tēnā koe Mr Murdoch
Thank you for your email of 25 October 2023 to Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities requesting the
following information under the Of icial Information Act 1982 (the Act):
1. How many other developments have you developed that are similar to the proposed Teitei
development (ie combination of affordable homes, public houses and long-term worker-rental
homes)
2. If there are similar developments how many complaints have you received in regards to the
tenants of those properties between 1/10/22 and 30/9/23.
3. How many tenants have been evicted from the above properties between 1/10/22 and
30/9/23.
We can confirm that Kāinga Ora has not developed any similar developments to the Teitei Drive
development in Ohakune. As such, we have determined that no other sites that we have developed
would be considered comparable, and therefore, I am refusing questions two and three of your
request under section 18(g) of the Act, in that the information requested is not held by the department,
and the person dealing with the request has no grounds for believing that the information is either held
by another department or connected more closely with the functions of another department.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of my decision on your
request. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or
Freephone 0800 802 602.
Please note that Kāinga Ora proactively releases its responses to official information requests where
possible. Our response to your request may be published at
https:/ kaingaora.govt.nz/publications/official-information-requests/, with your personal information
removed.
