Output 620 – Delivery of the Crown Property Clearance Sale

Third-party funded

This output is the provision of a property clearance service for work undertaken by accredited suppliers. The work involves ensuring that all relevant information has been researched and assessed for relevance to the specific property, that the conclusions reached are in line with the facts and the legislative provisions, and that the recommendation is consistent with those conclusions.

PERFORMANCE MEASURE PERFORMANCE
QUANTITY
3,000 (est) property reports will be cleared and a statutory decision made (range for year is 2,500-3,500). 2,363 decisions were made.

This was the number received for the year.
QUALITY
The standard to which the service is provided will be in accordance with the Crown property standards as assessed by quality assurance audit. The required standard has been met.
TIMELINESS
95% of statutory reports and recommendations will be cleared or responded to within five working days. 85% of reports and recommendations were responded to within five working days. 97% were responded to within 20 working days.

Of those decisions not meeting the standard, most are related to section 40 (S40) of the Public Works Act or compulsory acquisition. S40 reports are high risk and have a peer review process imposed, making the five-day target rarely obtainable.

Compulsory acquisitions require considerable care in checking.
