12377 (2026). Hon Rachel Brooking to the Minister for Infrastructure: Does he think it is a good idea to build the Sunfield development on a flood plain?

Hon Chris Bishop: I do not have expertise in flood mitigation, nor do I possess a decision-making role for substantive Fast-track applications. I refer the Member to the publicly available information, regarding the independent panel's decision on the Sunfield application, found on the Fast-track website at: https://www.fasttrack.govt.nz/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/22051/FTAA-2503-1039-Decision-Report.pdf
