View answerPublic participation is a necessary and important feature of the foreshore assessment process conducted by my Department. Detailed instructions were issued to the applicant in writing on how information relating to the application was to be made available to the public. Unfortunately, the applicant has not complied with those instructions and my Department is now considering the matter in consultation with the applicant before deciding on the most appropriate next steps.
