All those that provide a submission, either directly or through the public process will have the opportunity to speak to their submission at a hearing.
At the completion of the hearings, the hearings panel made up of Cynthia Brooks, Nadine Taylor and Ross Beech (who were delegated authority by Council on 19 September 2019) will deliberate and work with staff to formulate proposed decisions within a written report. These proposed decisions will be tabled at full Council alongside a final draft of the Regional Pest Management Plan importing the decisions.
Full Council then makes the decision to notify the final RPMP, in whichever shape it may be.
As information or other links relating to hearings and the decision-making process is made available, it will appear on this page.
