Licensee consultation

Licensee consultation has now closed. Meetings were held in Keith and Bordertown, followed by bookable one-on-one sessions for licensees to discuss particular issues in further detail.

All feedback received will be reviewed in consultation with the Stakeholder Advisory Group. A draft WAP will then reviewed by the Board and once approved by the Minister, will be released for formal public consultation.

Stakeholder Advisory Group

This group is the primary community reference for the Board for the review of the Plan.
