Public Hearings

The public hearing events have now been held in each district.

Each event was facilitated by an Assistant Commissioner and a record of the proceedings produced. Each Assistant Commissioner will produce a report within 4 weeks of the date of the last hearing. Analysis of public hearing reports and representations made to the Commissioner on Provisional Proposals is now ongoing. 

To ensure compliance with ongoing measures in place for indoor meetings as a result of the ongoing public health restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemic, those interested parties wishing to attend any of the district hearings were asked to register their attendance in advance. Virtual attendance was also booked in advance, to facilitate dissemination of technical details.

The hearings were conducted in English with sign language interpretation, or interpretation in another language made available on request.

The hearings took place at the following dates, times and locations:
