2) all internal analysis Kāinga Ora carried out (without or without the help of outside consultants) on these or any other proposals to allow the Macrocarpa to remain on the site;

3) all representations Kāinga Ora received from other parties in support of the Macrocarpa being removed from the site;

5) all communications Kāinga Ora had with the local MP on this matter, or List MPs interested in the matter, including what views those MP expressed to Kāinga Ora, and how these were considered.

Yours sincerely
