The Devonport-Takapuna Local Board passed a similar resolution opposing the sale of Council's stake in "Own Your Own Home" housing at Bardia Street and Bayswater Ave, and Danielle Grant and Ruth Jackson spoke to the Auckland Council Finance Committee on behalf of both local boards.
Despite this, the Finance Committee voted in favour of the sale at a closed-door meeting. 😠
While the confidentiality of this vote has now lifted, the voting record of each councillor isn't yet available. We also do not know who will be buying council's share in the houses and land.
NZ Herald article: www.nzherald.co.nz...
The "Own Your Own Home" scheme gave older people the chance to buy flats in small pensioner villages around Auckland at an affordable price, with council owning and give them the security of a life-long roof over their head. If they move to other housing, or pass away, council re-purchases them and then sells them again.
Despite the housing crisis, many units have been left vacant and un-maintained for years, setting the scene for their sale.
It is not known what will now happen with the houses, however council has stated that no current owners will be affected, only when the owners pass away or sell.
Attached is the resolution of the Kaipātiki Local Board, and a map of the affected houses at John Bracken Way, Beach Haven.

Features of … View moreKia ora neighbours. The opening of a fully accessible bathroom in Takapuna will create inclusion for those who typically feel left out, the mother of a disabled teen says.
The bathroom and changing room opened at Gould Reserve, near Takapuna Beach Reserve and playground, on Monday.
Features of the facility include a height-adjustable adult changing table and sink, a ceiling track hoist, a shower, handrails and a toilet with space on both sides for two carers to assist its user.
Devonport resident Kimberly Graham, whose 17-year-old son Finlay Butcher has athetoid cerebral palsy, previously said a lack of fully accessible bathrooms in New Zealand made it hard for her family to get out and enjoy activities together.
The new bathroom in Takapuna meant the family could catch a bus or ride their bikes to the beach and playground and spend more time there, without worrying about what they would do when Finlay needed to use the toilet, she said.
“The freedom a toilet like this gives is immense," she said.
