July, 2011 The Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust has resolved not to appeal the High Court decision that upheld the decision of the Charities Commission to deregister the trust.Chairman David Cole said the courts decision establishes case law that locks out not-for-profit housing organisations from qualifying as charitable organisations. It is now up to the politicians to correct the anomaly. We cannot commit further community funds to defend a structure and set of activities that the Crown supported when the Trust was established and which another Crown agency has sought to unravel, he said. We are now relying on an undertaking from the minister received last week to have officials look at recommendations for restoring certainty to a sector that government is relying on as a key part of its housing policy.
