Members of the public are invited to let the Minister know what they think about Wild Rivers. What is great about it? What could be improved? What is not so great?
The Minister for Natural Resources, Mines and Energy is keen to hear views about the proposal to declare the Cooper Catchment a Wild River area. There are a few ways this can happen.
* Formal submission - Written submissions will be accepted up until 5 pm on 29th April 2010.
* Face to face consultation - these will be organised by DERM, and dates will be circulated by this department in the future. Alternatively, members of the public are invited to request a meeting with DERM officers.
What will happen with the information that is gathered as a result of the consultation process?
The Minister is obliged to consider all properly made submissions and information that is gathered in the consultation process. A decision will then be made to continue / not to continue with the declaration. This will be made available in a publically available consultation report. The report will outline the feedback provided during the consultation, and how these issues will be dealt with.
Make sure you have your say on Wild Rivers in the Cooper Catchment!
