Here is a link to the information you have requested – LG_2202_Documents_for_release.zip

Based on available information, the Manawatū District Council has not conducted or commissioned any analysis on the relative benefits and disadvantages in investing in the development of exotic plantations vs indigenous plantations.  

The only document we hold that might have some relevance to this request is a report on the status of council-owned woodlot, which is contained in the link 
We hope this is of some value to you.
