  • Which agencies, councils, iwi authorities and infrastructure providers, if any, have been invited to comment on the Bunnythorpe Business Park Fast-track referral application?

Answer

Section 17 of the Fast-track Approval Act 2024 guides who must and may be invited to comment on a referral application. This includes the relevant local authorities, specified Māori groups, relevant portfolio Ministers, relevant administrating agencies and other groups that may inform my decision-making on the referral application. It is not appropriate for me to discuss the details of a project or my consideration of the referral application before I have made my decision.
