Dear Ministry for the Environment,

I noted, Seeking applications for a new member of the Waste Investment Panel

https://environment.govt.nz/news/seeking...

May I ask how you called for public nomination this round and on what platform you have call for public nominations e.g. govt.jobs website. Also, how many applications you have received from the public and how many you have received from other nominating agencies such as TPK or Ministry of women etc for your role. How many you have shortlisted and how many you have interviewed. Also, can I request to view the appointment letter if there is one sent to the previous appointee. I am happy for you to remove all the personal information.

How many positions are being filled during this round of appointments? and please provide the current member's term of appointment, including the start and end dates.

Yours faithfully,

john luke
