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.
