Hello Valerie,
I am writing to clarify what information you are seeking with respect to
the Bioplant Tairawhiti.
This project did not go through the fast-track process – at the discretion

Can we please discuss the information you are seeking to ensure we get the
right level of information for you.
Cheers

Dear Chris Baylis,
Thanks for your message. In my original request to you, I linked to a document released by MfE regarding projects that had been considered for fast track schedule 2. Bioplant is listed on this document as having been referred by the Minister of Forestry, eg your Minister. I am aware that the project was not ultimately listed. My request is for all information relating to Bioplant and this process. That would include any materials provided by the company, any recommendations or other information created by the Ministry, meetings or interactions with the company etc.
Yours sincerely,
Valerie Morse
