43698 (2025). Lan Pham to the Minister for Infrastructure: What correspondence, if any, has he had with the panel convened to assess the Waitaha hydro application under the Fast Track Approvals Act?

Hon Chris Bishop: None. An expert panel has not been appointed for the project you refer to. My only correspondence with panels is if they invite me to comment on an application, as provided for in the Fast-track Approvals Act.
