2. Is 5 years appropriate for a periodic review?

3. Is the consultation process provided in the proposed Regulations appropriate?

No

3.1 What changes (if any) do you recommend?

Please consider the following questions in drafting your response to question 3.1:

a.       Is it appropriate for licence holders to consult representatives and representative bodies where these bodies could reasonably be regarded as representing the interests of individuals, persons, organisations, groups or communities?

b.       Is it appropriate for the same consultation requirements to apply to all types of projects (for example, for research and demonstration projects compared to commercial projects)? If not, what changes do you recommend?

c.       Do you consider the proposed stakeholder engagement strategy described in the management plan, but separate to the management plan, to be adequately flexible and appropriate? If not, why, and what might be an alternative approach?

d.       Do you agree with the list of information that must be described in the management plan in relation to the stakeholder engagement strategy? Should any other matters be described?

Consultation should include individuals along with bodies and associations.

Projects should have environmental impact assessments completed by separate groups that have no affiliation or being paid by the proposed project organisation.

9. The design notification scheme only applies to transmission and infrastructure licences and commercial licences. Should the design notification scheme be extended to all licence types, so that it would also include feasibility licences and research and demonstration licences?

Yes
