The figure is 16,000. That leaves 484,000 to be done in eight years, which is a considerable number. In order that we can walk away from this meeting comforted the 500,000 target will be met, we need to see what the target is for next year. I assume the authority has projected this out on an annual or even a quarter-by-quarter basis. It needs to know what number it needs to be hitting between now and 2030 to ensure the 500,000 target is met. We cannot afford to come to 2028 and realise that is way out of reach. Can the officials provide that to us? I assume the authority has modelled and projected this information. Will the officials provide that to the committee because it would be really useful?
