3-AD006.00 ENGAGEMENT OUTCOMES PROPOSED WAIHI NORTH PROJECT OceanaGold New Zealand Limited WSP April 2022 39 7 INTERVIEWS Interviewees were selected by interest group based on the preliminary impacts identified. Where the interviewees suggested further information could be obtained from other parties, this was followed up where it was thought additional benefit would be gained. Due to COVID-19 constraints, the majority of the interviews were undertaken online via Microsoft Teams video call, with a small number taking place over the phone. The short phone interviews proposed with the schools, medical, and emergency facilities representatives yielded little response, due to challenges with making contact and finding suitable respondents who had time to participate. The approach was adjusted, and the short interview questions were transferred into an online survey, that was emailed through to key representatives which yielded some additional responses. The list of stakeholder organisations and groups interviewed is contained in Table 43 below.
