Kia Ora Helen,
Thanks for sending this to us.
As we discussed this morning, we know the housing issues have not gone away and we are
committed to working with Council and Ngati Rangi to identify other options to address
this need.
Nga mihi

Reneging on TeiTei Drive a big step backwards says Ngāti Rangi
under the Official Information Act
The decision by Kainga Ora and Ruapehu District Council to withdraw from the TeiTei Drive
development is a major set-back for our local community says Ngāti Rangi Pou Ārahi,
Helen Leahy.
Released
“It is a basic human right to live in adequate housing. We have too many families across
our region in dire housing need; in emergency housing; couch-surfing, living in sheds;
families forced to live together in over-crowded conditions.
“Ngāti Rangi has set a vision for its people to vibrantly exist in 1000 years. The concept of
a 100 day plan to address decades of state neglect is shortsighted in comparison. We
know that housing directly relates to all aspects of wellbeing for a whānau.
The Council’s own portal, Pūwhenua ki Ruapehu, describes some of the complexity of the
local housing market. The portal states the quality of housing in Raetihi was, in many
cases, thought to be poor with substandard insulation and heating; while in Ohakune,
“There are houses on the market but they aren’t affordable. In the past three years
it’s changed. Almost 70% of our houses are absentee owners. If we didn’t have
them we’d be dead because they pay the rates. But for the locals, because there’s
pressure from the tourists, the price goes up. So affordability is a problem, not for
some people, but for the real people. The first home buyers, the residents”.
As a result of the poor state of housing, our most vulnerable, our babies and our elderly,
are over-represented in hospitalisation rates in the region. Respiratory illness and
infectious disease thrives in homes that are not healthy to live in.
“Asthma is huge. Mainly children. Because the homes aren’t healthy. They’re not
insulated properly. But it’s well known that in this region asthma is one of the
highest, in the Waimarino area”.
“Nga Waihua o Paerangi is aware of over thirty local whānau that are in dire need of safe,
warm and healthy homes. The announcement today, axing the project to build 44 new
houses in our region, is a major setback for Ngāti Rangi and the wider community.
“This decision, along with the rushed legislative passage to quash Te Aka Whai Ora – an
agency that has supported Ngāti Rangi with opportunities to directly support our
community (Whiria Nga Hua) – is devastating. We reflect on the hundreds of hours spent in
community engagement, in design and development meetings, in cultural and
environmental planning, in working together with our whānau to respond to their
aspirations. We will be writing to respective Ministers to let them know of the adverse
impacts that their 100 Day Plan is already having within our community”
“In order to see the change we need, we are dedicated to growing and nurturing the
potential of our uri and our communities to vibrantly exist 1000 years from now. That
doesn’t stop, no matter what else is going on”.
