Ms Karin Dubsky:

On the Foreshore Act, we are concerned that it is weak on Aarhus principles. We welcome clarity but are wondering whether it has to come under the Foreshore Act or whether, as one of the lawyers suggested, it might come under the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009, where there is a more democratic process. It is not that we do not need clarity; we welcome it. Rather, it is how it is being given. The other way of skinning the cat is to say that section 19 will be reformed and make more accountable and then, of course, this is the way forward.
