41478 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister for Infrastructure: Has an independent assessment of water, electricity, environmental, cultural, infrastructure and community effects been requested for the Bunnythorpe Business Park fast-track apllication?

Hon Chris Bishop: If a project is referred, detailed information on the actual and potential adverse effects, along with measures to mitigate adverse effects, is information required for a substantive application to be considered by an independent expert panel. 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.
