Answer

I am advised by Health New Zealand that the Site Feasibility report released in OIA HNZ0020362 was generated by Colliers for internal use by Health NZ. This report was an operational report and therefore not shared with me when it was produced. However, my office did receive a copy of the report via a copy of the OIA which was was provided to my office in June 2026. The timeline within the report was an indicative feasibility programme only and did not represent approved project milestones or committed delivery dates.
