I was contacted by the Ombudsman regarding the lateness of Councils
response to your information request earlier this year.  It seems the
email address it was sent to was different to the one used by you.  Both
Council’s acknowledgement and response were sent to
[1][email address] instead of
[2][FOI #30070 email].  I apologise for this. 
Please see below my response sent 12 March 2025.

Thank you for your request for information relating to communications with
the South Island Resource Recovery Limited. There have been no further
Council communications from 2024 to 2025.

 

A report went to the 27 June 2024 Council meeting recommending that any
establishment of a future waste to energy plant would be the
responsibility of the private sector. See report here
[9]https://pub-kaipara.escribemeetings.com/....
This was followed by a press release in early July 2024 that can be found
