33940 (2026). Hon Dr Megan Woods to the Minister for Energy: How has a known potential worst case fatality distance of approximately 2km factored into the procurement process for an LNG import facility in Port Taranaki?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised Health and safety requirements have been incorporated into the procurement process to the extent reasonable for such a process. As the procurement process remains under way I am unable to comment further. Any LNG import facility will be required to meet all applicable health and safety requirements before commencing operations.
