From: Michael Bennett
Dear Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities,
during the Govt's covid response, the location known as Aaron lodge camping ground and motor lodge (kaikourai Valley Road, Dunedin) was acquired as a MIQ facility, after that it was passed to Kianga Ora for the development of social housing and nearby residents were notified.
since then the site has been left empty, while homeless residents of Dunedin sleep in tents next to a motorway.
1; has any consideration been given to using this location to house the homeless while the site awaits development into social housing, and if not why not?
2; what barriers, if any, prevent this site being used to accommodate rough sleepers
3; where do plans to redevelop this site in to social house stand currently
4; what timelines, or targets exist for the above options, if any
Yours faithfully,
Michael Bennett
