The working group for the boundary review will be holding a number of consultation meetings throughout January 2014 to enable communities to discuss the draft proposals with members and understand the reasoning behind them. Attendees will also gain an understanding of the information that the working group are hoping to receive in the representations submitted to them which will help to inform the final proposals.
A list of all the consultation meetings and dates relative to each community is available. Below is a list of frequently asked questions regarding the draft proposals that are generic to all communities. Hopefully the below list will assist stakeholders in interpreting the draft proposals. |
