Welcome to the Asana Community Forum @Craig_Kirkland 
I recommend for the project owner to check their email notification settings.
Or you probably refer to them writing the update and therefore not receiving it via email? If so then how about creating a special email for this purpose so all updates are sent there and from there you can set up a rule to forward the emails.
Or potentially the task of forwarding can be assigned to a colleague who already receives the status updates?
Some more ideas/workarounds have been posted here.
