Dear Kaipara District Council,

The 2024 Economic Development Strategy, on page 36, states the below key
strategy, as a high priority
"Undertake research to understand opportunities for Waste to Energy
processing"

Please advise funds allocated for the research into Waste to Energy
processing?
Please advise the method of research being undertaken?
Please advise if any external research organisation or company has been
engaged to undertake this research?

Please advise if Mayor Craig Jepson has signed or agreed in principle to
any Memorandums of Understanding with either South Island Resource
Recovery Ltd or China Tianying Incorporated?

In a Council Meeting, 26 June 2024, a resolution was made & documented to
no longer engage Council time and funds in the Waste to Energy Plant, and
the descion was made to leave the Waste to Energy Plant, in the private
sector. Please advise why the Waste to Energy Plant, is still in the
Economic Devlopment plan as high priority with Rate Payers funds being
used to investigate Waste to Energy?

Yours faithfully,

Jane Reed
