Thank you for this response.

There is no content from WHL included in this response. Despite later developments WHL were still being actively presented as the proposed operator for Whakapapa and received the same request as PTL.

Can you please identify why there is no information included ?

Kia ora Stephen,

 

Thank you for your enquiry – our initial review indicated that only one
response was received, as the document reference ‘DC108/DOC-7365304’
related to only one document, and one operator. We have undertaken a
further search and located some further information in scope of your
request.

 

We apologise that this was not identified earlier, and will undertake to
review the new information with urgency to consider what can be released
to you.
