I refer the Member to Appendix 2 of the proactively released Cabinet paper: https://www.transport.govt.nz/assets/Uploads/Outcome-of-the-Procurement-Process-Northland-Corridor-Section-1-Public-Private-Partnership-Redacted-v2.pdf https://www.transport.govt.nz/assets/Uploads/Approval-to-Deliver-Northland-Corridor-Section-1-PPP-Redacted-v2.pdf The seven recommendations (and their priority indicated in brackets) in the Gateway 3 Review (Investment Decision) of the Northland Corridor Section 1: Warkworth to Te Hana PPP are listed here (with one recommendation redacted). The action plan for each recommendation is also provided (with redactions against 3 of the recommendations).
