Zhang Wang s vege garden at the back of her Ōtautahi Community Housing Trust-run home has been ripped up. Vicky Hamilton, Wang’s daughter, said her mum was so grateful for all the messages of support. “She’s just so thankful. It’s just so moving.” Hamilton said Wang was happy with ŌCHT’s solution, but she was interested to see how big the beds would be. Work to install them is expected to begin on Thursday.

The garden was cultivated by Wang over 10 years. But neighbours complained it had grown too large. Wang was also offered a $100 supermarket voucher from ŌCHT, but she declined it. It would not make up for the loss of the rare herbs, which she could not buy from shops, Hamilton said.

John Edwards today said a round of engagements with representatives of tenants, landlords, property managers and related businesses had now begun. An initial period of information gathering on privacy practice in the rental accommodation sector has confirmed that large amounts of information is being collected from prospective tenants, Edwards said.
