Two of these emails have attachments that were not made available - email 5 (basketball court consultation.xslx and Williams domain.pdf) and the images on the 4th email. Can these be made available?

I also note there is talks of correspondence with Sport Whanganui in 2023 on funding but none of these are provided.

Thanks
