The Labour MP sent a letter to Ministry of Social Development chief executive Brendan Boyle on November 4 asking when the Hillside Rd building would reopen and outlining the effect its closure was having on residents.
Ms Curran also wrote to Social Development Minister Anne Tolley and lodged an Official Information Act request, which had been extended until the end of January.
"It is now six months on from the June floods that wreaked havoc on the community and forced the closure of the South Dunedin Winz office,'' Ms Curran said.
"The continued closure ... has put added pressure on the already hard-hit and vulnerable community.
"It's time for some long-overdue answers.''
The facility has been closed since June 3 when it was extensively damaged by floodwater.
There has been no indication when, or if, it would reopen.
The ministry last month declined to provide information to the Otago Daily Times under the OIA relating to the building's future.
The reason given was that it could "prejudice the ability of Government to consider advice''.
It would also not disclose what happened to staff employed there.
Ms Curran said her OIA request had been extended so the ministry could ‘‘consult with other parties''.
"It's very odd,'' she said.
"Clearly, if they have to consult with people, then there is a decision to be made.''
Her feeling was that the office would close.
"It's another blow to people in South Dunedin.''
Ms Curran had received no response from Mr Boyle to her letter but received a response from Ms Tolley saying she had not received any reports or briefings in relation to the site.
Ministry regional commissioner for social development John Allen apologised to South Dunedin residents and said a decision would be announced by the end of the week.
