Dear Wellington City Council,
Please provide any and all information City Council holds about Andy Foster (ex Mayor) about his involvement in City Council affairs, and with City Council departments since he competed his tenure as Mayor.
By "information" we mean emails, positions held, any committee representations, expert witness, traffic and / or infrastructure expertise, official City Council meeting attendance, any requests and / or recommendations made by him directly or indirectly (through a person representing him). To narrow the scope, we want information specifically related to or involving Hawkins Hill Road, Wellington Natural Heritage Trust, Long Gully Bush Reserve, and Zealandia of which, according to the video below, Andy himself says that he is an avid environmentalist, one of the founders of Zealandia, the creator of much of the Green Belt, and a regular pest controller doing regular trapping control outside of Zealandia. The public video is sourced from Andy's own page dated May 2025.

In this Facebook video, Andy refers to 500 existing projects and 300 future projects - can you confirm if Andy is involved in any of these projects with Wellington City Council (specifically in the Wrights Hill/Zealandia/Careys Gully/Long Gully/Te Kopahou areas; and if so, please list the name of the project, whether it is existing or future, and his involvement and whether that project has received any Wellington City Council funding, and value it received. We are only looking for data/information from October 2022 until July 2025 please (which is since his Mayoral tenure ended and he became an MP).
