Item 9 – Forestry harvesting – KiwiRail Feasibility Study. KiwiRail and Port
Taranaki have failed to respond despite FR’s attempts to make contact. No
updates available at this stage.
Item 9 – Random roadside drug testing. FR made contact with

the corner of Devon and Elliot Streets (the old Spark building).
This will house about five permanent staff members and a number of Central
based staff will rotate week by week.
It will also contain meeting rooms.
