How to Make a Submission

 
Your submission should be concise and clearly state:
  • Your reason for making a submission. 
  • Whether you support or oppose the application.
  • The decision you wish the West Coast Regional Council to reach.
  • Whether you wish to speak at any hearing.
  • The conditions you feel should be imposed if the consent is granted.

 

The closing date for submissions is always set out in the public notice which advertises the consent application.

 

After you have sent your submission to the Council you must send a copy to the applicant.

 

Remember to get your submission in by the due date. Do not leave it to the last minute.
