Thank you for your request to Kainga Ora - Homes and Communities, dated 20 December 2023,
under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) for the following information:
"1./ Will any additional lots over and above the 44 funded under the agreement with HUD be
transferred to ROG?
2./ In its current state, there are 46 lots, 44 assigned under the funding, this means 2 additional
lots (which I know may change depending on consent requirements etc), in its current form, if
there are 2 additional lots remaining, who will legally own these at the end of the day."
Kainga Ora is responding to your questions in an asked and answered format.
1./ Will any additional lots over and above the 44 funded under the agreement with HUD
be transferred to RDC?
All land remains the property of Ruapehu District Council (RDC). Kainga Ora is funded to enable 44
lots with the ability to purchase these from RDC for mixed housing outcomes in accordance with the
Sale and Development Agreement.
2./ In its current state, there are 46 lots, 44 assigned under the funding, this means 2
additional lots (which I know may change depending on consent requirements etc), in
its current form, if there are 2 additional lots remaining, who will legally own these at the
end of the day."
Any additional lots, should they eventuate, will remain the property of RDC.
This is the third response to the Society (01 23 660, 01 23 696 and now 01 23 750 refers) on the same
issue, where limited information is held. There is no further information to provide. This is our final

Under section 28(3) of the Act, you have the right to seek an investigation and review by the
