56568 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister for Māori Development: How many plants, broken down by species or type, have been hired by each entity for which the Minister is responsible since 27 November 2023, and what were the suppliers and locations for each installation, broken down by month?

Hon Tama Potaka: I am advised that Te Puni Kōkiri had one national supplier (Just Plants) providing plant hire services for the period 27 November until July 2024, across the following offices/locations: Whangarei, Auckland, Hamilton, Rotorua, Tauranga, Hastings, Whanganui, Porirua, Wellington, and Invercargill. I am also advised that Te Puni Kōkiri cancelled its office plant hire service in July 2024. Plant species varied and included a mix of Rojo Congos, Schefflera Amate, Kentia, Five Finger Plant among others.
