How to make a further submission

Any person can make a further submission if they:

• represent a relevant aspect of the public interest
• have an interest in the Proposed Regional Policy Statement greater than the interest of the general public.

A further submission can only be made in support or opposition of matters raised in the original submissions. No new matters can be raised.

Further submissions should be set out in the format shown in the submission form following this page. This form is intended as a guide only, but is suitable for brief submissions. Please attach additional pages as necessary.

The Resource Management Act requires that a copy of the further submission be sent to the person who made the original submission within five (5) working days of sending the further submission to the Waikato Regional Council.

 At a later date the council will hold hearings to consider all submissions. All submitters will be advised of the hearings dates at least ten (10) working days prior to the commencement of the hearings. Those persons lodging submissions or further submissions may, if they wish, attend the hearings and present further information relating to their submission or further submission.

Please note that submissions are to be received by the Waikato Regional Council by 4pm on Friday, 15 July 2011.  No late submissions can be accepted.  Submissions can be:

Original submitters have been allocated a submitter number and each submission matter is referenced by a unique number. The format is as follows:

For example, PRPS2-22.3:

PRPS2      is the Proposed Waikato Regional Policy Statement

22             is the submitter number

.3              is the submission matter number.

You need to reference this whole number (ie PRPS2-22.3) when you make a further submission.
