Dear Ministry of Housing and Urban Development,

We have also questioned (during the Teitei Drive Ohakune Social Housing Project) the need for 44 new homes in Ohakune. At the time only 10 people or families were on the housing register and multiple houses for sale at very affordable rates; and as of writing this request, Trademe is Showing 86 houses for sale in Ohakune alone starting at $152,000

Based on the above PR release & our concerns, we have the following questions.

1./ How much funding by MHUD or other government agencies was provided for Foyle street development and how much was provided by third parties such as Ngati Rangi or associations such as their investment arm or. To clarify, what was the total cost of Foyle street and how much did government fund?

2./ Based on the press release statement "The others are in Nelson, Ohakune, Taumarunui and Masterton where the proposed developments demonstrated a significant need for supply and affordable rentals or had a strong focus on exiting whānau from emergency housing and transitional housing," please answer the following questions

2.1./ How much funding is earmarked or in negotiations or being considered for Ohakune and Taumarunui, please provide a sum for each, or the communications, documents or drafts with relate to these locations.

Tēnā koutou katoa

I refer to your official information request 30 November 2024 for
information related to housing in Ohakune and Taumarunui. 

The OIA requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no
later than 20 working days after the day we received your request.
Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our
decision to 15 February 2025.

This extension is necessary because consultations necessary to make a
decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably
be made within the original time limit.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at:
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
