I refer to your request received on 8 February 2025:
Please confirm if and when:
1. South Island Resource Recovery Limited (SIRRL) has made a substantive application for
approval under the Fast-track Approvals Act 2024
2. They have paid the appropriate fees to cover a substantive application.
The Environmental Protection Authority has not received a substantive application for approval
under the Fast-track Approvals Act 2024 from South Island Resource Recovery Limited. Fees are
not paid until a substantive application has been made, therefore no fee has been paid.
I hope this information is helpful. You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the
Ombudsman of this decision under section 28(3) of the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA). You can
contact the Ombudsman on 0800 802 602, or by email at [email address]
If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us via
[email address]
We may publish your request and our response on our website
, www.fasttrack.govt.nz We make
OIA responses available so others can read more about the work we do and the questions we are
asked. Any information that might identify you will be removed to protect your privacy.
