67857 (2024). Debbie Ngarewa-Packer to the Minister responsible for RMA Reform

67857 (2024). Debbie Ngarewa-Packer to the Minister responsible for RMA Reform: Did Trans-Tasman Resources tell the Fast-track Projects Advisory Group on their application "It is of national significance; we have identified a world-class vanadium rich iron sands resource that has the ability to contribute $1 billion annually to export earnings"; If so, will their application be reconsidered as they formally retracted this statement on the 9 October 2024, if not, why not?

Hon Chris Bishop: The Fast-Track Projects Advisory Group received and assessed the application. The Advisory Group relied on applications as a whole. The relative positive and negative effects of a project can be tested by an expert panel when they consider a full substantive application. I refer the member to the Fast-Track Projects Advisory Group Report.
