Analysis of submissions made to the Fast Track Approvals Bill

Suze Keith made this Official Information request to Chris Bishop

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Suze Keith to read recent responses and update the status.

From: Suze Keith

Dear Chris Bishop,

Could you please share with me:
1. the total number of submissions made to the Fast Track Approvals Bill including the pro forma submissions
2. the total number of submissions that opposed the FTAB and the number of submissions in support
3. the reports to you or to the Environment Select Committee by your officials analysing the advice from the submissions and the rationale for adopting or rejecting the advice
4. the application made by Santana Minerals requesting inclusion to the listed projects schedule in the FTAB
5. the full analysis undertaken by the Project Advisory Group providing the rationale for inclusion or exclusion of projects to the FTAB. I do not mean this summarised version that is already on the MfE website: https://environment.govt.nz/assets/acts-... - I would like to see the full analysis which I assume was shared with you to assist with your decision making
6. the process you followed to reduce the 342 projects recommended by the Advisory Group down to 149 projects, and the rationale for inclusion or exclusion.

Yours faithfully,

Suze Keith
