design and planning stages this far and
- on current or projected estimates, how much Wellington city ratepayers will be contributing
in dollar and percent (of total spend) terms please?
Separately, can you please also tell me what reporting do you get from the recipients of the
circa $5-6 million p.a. that the GWRC gives to local iwi.
