To assist us in providing the most relevant information, we kindly ask for
clarification on the specific details you are seeking. As it stands, your

amended to enable us to respond. Please note, any clarification or
amendment of a request is considered to be a new request for the purpose
of calculating the maximum statutory timeframe for response—see section

Dear [email address],
Thanks for your follow up message. To be honest, I'm struggling to understand why this question is considered so broad: Bioplant is a company seeking to do waste-related business in your community. There was an attempt to get it listed as a fast track application. See page 12 of this document released under OIA by MfE: https://newsroom.co.nz/wp-content/upload...
I want to know what interactions have been had with, and communications and information held by GDC with or about the company since the 2023 general election. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further information.
Yours sincerely,
Valerie Morse
