Hi all,
This is the commentary that has been supplied to CIP as part of their regular shovel-ready reporting – they requested a very
tight turnaround on this so we have utilised the agreed key messages and the summary sent to the minister on Friday.
Lucy, note a couple of small edits since our initial chat (deletion of the final bullet point and reshuffling of a few bullets).
Thanks

Subject: Ohakune - Teitei Drive commentary
Hi Naila,
Below find our commentary for the Minister’s report:
Kainga Ora - Homes and Communities has withdrawn as the developer of the proposed mixed housing development in Teitei
Drive in Ohakune. As Kāinga Ora has progressed further through design and planning phases, it has become clear that the CIP
funding will not be sufficient to complete the project as it was originally proposed three years ago. This, combined with
current economic and market pressures, has meant that the project is not financially viable for Kainga Ora, and they would
be unable to deliver on the affordable housing outcomes.
It is estimated that, if Kāinga Ora were to proceed, the project would be completed at a deficit of between $2-3million.
The Teitei Drive development was proposed to have Kāinga Ora as the master developer. This would mean they would
undertake planning and design work to deliver 44 homes in Stage 1, including land development and public infrastructure.
Costs facing housing builders and developers across the country have risen significantly since this project was initially
proposed by Ruapehu District Council in 2021. In addition, Kāinga Ora’s ability to deliver affordable housing outcomes in this
development has become increasingly challenging.
Kāinga Ora has considered multiple options, but none work with the allocated funding and address the market risk associated
with the affordable and rental housing in this location. Kāinga Ora is not able to provide funding above that which would be
incurred in its normal residential social housing redevelopment activity, or address the market risk.
Therefore, Kāinga Ora is not proceeding as the master developer, as per the sales and development agreement signed
between Ruapehu District Council (RDC) and Kāinga Ora.
However, Kāinga Ora has offered to continue to support RDC as a partner should they choose to proceed with the project.
Kāinga Ora offered:
· to remain on the project as development managers, ensuring the council has access to the required expertise and as
delivery agent of the $5.2million CIP funding.
· To pre-purchase the 15 lots allocated for public housing to help fund the project.
· To deliver the 15 public homes.
Thanks, Andre

Hey Lucy, do you have any thoughts on the below, it might be a tad tight to get it into this
report (I need to send a draft to Andrew at noon tomorrow to review), but we could aim
for next months if you think that’s not to far away (aka the info will be out of date).

Howdy.
I think you are safe to include the Ohakune piece. However, you may want to consider
doing a larger item that covers Ohakune and Nelson as both were in plan for quite some
time and both are not proceeding. Lucy Kitching was pulling some stuff together on why
some large profile developments are no longer happening and maybe that is the angle. I
would touch base with Lucy and she can perhaps give you the stuff she was drafting?

G’day.
Not sure as to what level board or committee has been involved with Ohakune to date.
I’ll check in with the team to get a sense of what to do with this one.
It was in the Minister’s weekly report?

Subject: CE report content - Teitei Drive, Ohakune Development
Hello,
I was looking through the Minister weekly report for stuff to add into the Board’s report
and stumbled across the update on Teitei Drive, Ohakune Development – do you think
that’s ok to go into the CE’s report/have they (the Board) already had an update on this?
Update on Teitei Drive, Ohakune Development
1. The updated masterplan for the mixed-housing development at Teitei Drive in
Ohakune was finalised in December and the associated costs have now been updated.
2. It has been established that the land development costs are higher than was originally
anticipated and as such, the $5.2 million that has been allocated by the Crown
Infrastructure Partnership (CIP) is no longer sufficient to complete the project as
currently scoped.
3. This means that the project is not financially viable for Kāinga Ora.
4. We have considered multiple options, but none work with the allocated funding.
Kāinga Ora is not able to provide funding above that which would be incurred in its
normal residential social housing redevelopment activity.
5. Therefore, we will not be able to proceed as the master developer, as per the sales
and development agreement signed between Ruapehu District Council (RDC) and
Kāinga Ora.
6. However, we will continue to support RDC as a partner should they choose to proceed
with the project.
7. We are proposing to offer:
a) to remain on the project as development managers, ensuring the council has
access to the required expertise and as delivery agent of the $5.2million CIP
funding.
b) to pre-purchase the 15 lots allocated for public housing to help fund the project.
c) to deliver the 15 public homes.
8. Through recent engagement with the community, we had indicated that we would be
lodging a resource consent for enabling works on the site in February. Given the
current position, we will no longer be submitting this application.
a) Given the partnership agreement, it is our intention to formally advise RDC and
Ngati Rangi this week.
b) We will work with our partners to update the community thereafter.
c) We will continue to keep your office informed.
9. We remain committed to working closely with Ruapehu District Council and Ngati
Rangi to explore opportunities to deliver affordable housing, as together we recognise
the need for housing in Ruapehu District.

Hi Aileen and Cynthia
I hope you’re well.
My understanding is that Tei Tei Drive will not proceed.
The IMO has recently developed an IMF template for Significant projects managing closure
prior to completing Implement Phase.
TeiTei Drive will need to complete this to formalise project closure.
I’ve attached this draft template.
The purpose of completing and submitting this template for governance oversight is:
1. To formalise project closure, for noting by the relevant Pae Tataki
2. To review the project, to document lessons and how these can be appropriately
communicated across Kainga Ora
3. To document expenditure to date and associated next steps
4. To confirm the project closure plan.
This project will be one of the first to complete this new template, so Oliver Shaw’s team
(Methods and Tools, IMO) have requested to see the complete draft and final memo, to
validate if any changes should be made to the draft template.
Could you please forward this email to anyone who isn’t included but needs to be?
Please let me know of any questions; happy to discuss if helpful.
Regards – Peter

FYI – the Closure Memo trial for Teitei looks like it received some resistance.
It is a fair question as to how much work is required where no investment decision has
been made other than minor ‘investigation’ expenditure.

Hi all
I agreed to summarise our discussion last Tuesday (thanks Ellie for the reminder):
·
The purpose of the significant track pre-delivery closure memo is to:
1. update governance that a project they endorsed or approved is closing
2. document relevant lessons, for sharing as appropriate
3. formalise project closure, including financial expenditure to date,
information system updates, stakeholder communication (e.g. mana whenua,
council, HUD and Minister as appropriate, etc.)
·
At what stage is an IMF closure memo required for significant track projects?
1. As no ‘investment decision’ (defined as Board-approval of an IMF Brief or
a completed land acquisition) has yet been made for Tei Tei Drive, should a
pre-delivery IMF closure memo be required? If yes, will this apply for all
other significant track projects which don’t proceed beyond their endorsed
Opportunity Memo?
2. Discussed that a formal IMF closure process involving governance also has
value for early stage projects which are high profile
·
Opportunity cost to delivery.
1. The high volume of OIA requests for Tei Tei Drive has required significant
team resource
2. Completing additional review and closure does not directly contribute to
housing delivery, and may involve opportunity costs to other projects that
will deliver housing.
·
Much of the required closure information is already available.
·
The team wish to submit a noting paper rather than use the IMF pre-delivery
closure memo. It’s preferable for teams to use the IMF template
Decision: Tei Tei Drive project team to submit a pre-delivery closure noting paper to the
appropriate Pae Tataki. The team prefer a different format to the IMF format, and will
ensure their paper covers all the requirements of the IMF memo supplied by the IMO.
Please reply all with any corrections to the notes above.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the summary.
Just to clarify, we agreed that UDD will write a Project Control Group (PCG) Paper for
noting – this will be submitted to the PCG Greenfield and Complex where Teitei Drive is
formally a part of. Claire and Ellie will write this paper and will consult with relevant
parties. UDD can send this paper to relevant PGB and Pae if need be.
We will aim to cover the first bullet point (1-3) in the paper and will aim to present the
paper to PCG in April/May.
