Information request relating to the Kermadec Rangitāhua Ocean Sanctuary

Details of the request

I wish to make an OIA request of the Ministry for the Environment, based on the statement recently provided by Stuart Brodie to the Environment Select Committee. Specifically: that "discussions are underway" to resolve the Kermadec Rangitāhua Ocean Sanctuary situation; that creation of the Sanctuary is "still a priority" for the Government; that the Government is pursuing a "reset" with iwi; that "talks with relevant parties are at an initial stage"; and that an "inter-agency group has just commenced interactions".
In light of Mr Brodies statement, and under the Official Information Act, I seek the following information, in the form of official briefings, emails or meeting minutes:
1. Any documents or information related to the discussions now 'underway' on the future of the Kermadec Rangitāhua Ocean Sanctuary
2. Any documents (briefings, emails or reporting) outlining the "reset with iwi" and any record of the "relevant parties" that have been engaged in the reset conversation, and specifically, any information or reporting on dialogue with mana whenua iwi Ngāti Kuri and Te Aupouri, and the Trust Te Ohu Kaimoana, representing Māori fisheries interests.
3. Any documents or information related to the inter-agency group that has been established to resolve the Kermadec Rangitāhua Ocean Sanctuary issues, including documents or communications identifying members and their competencies
4. Any documents on other reporting on 'interactions' with parties associated with the Kermadec Rangitāhua Ocean Sanctuary, including but not limited to mana whenua, scientists and NGOs
5. Any information on the timeframe and roadmap for the "reset with iwi" and Kermadec Rangitāhua Ocean Sanctuary announcement.
