This week we received response to a few OIA's, though many are still outstanding, some from the beginning of September, well over the legal 20 business days. Kāinga Ora is due to answer a number of items by 28th March after giving themselves an extension of 4 months, which conveniently was the CIP funding milestone date.

Kāinga Ora still tries to push ahead with houses at Teitei

Just 6 days after the pin was pulled, KO continues to fight for Teitei.

5 March 2024, Kāinga Ora’s Senior Legal Counsel – Property instructed that Kāinga Ora is willing to continue as a development manager for the Teitei Drive, Ohakune project and as a public housing build partner. In this capacity, Kāinga Ora is willing to pre-purchase up to 15 homes for public housing in this development.

Council advised that it has yet to formally consider how it moves forward on meeting housing needs in the District, and is not in a position to respond to the offer of 15 public houses in Teitei Drive at this time.
