The Committee considered a report dated 23 November 2023 from the Environmental Consents Manager. The report was taken as read with the following comments made:

Fraser Campbell had a background in engineering and was on the preferred commissioner list for Western Bay of Plenty and Bay of Plenty Regional Councils
