Mr. Paul Hogan:

No. It is a function of the Minister. At the end of a development plan process, if there are issues outstanding, the OPR makes a recommendation to the Minister and the Minister can form an opinion as to whether he or she wishes to go further with that. The Minister is empowered to issue a draft direction. There is a process that follows, even where a draft direction is issued by the Minister of foot of the recommendation, that gives the elected members an opportunity to further participate.
