If the witnesses are in a position to share the submission, the committee would appreciate it. Having a copy would be helpful to us.

A long time has elapsed since the previous review was conducted. We live in a rapidly changing world. Reference was made to the massive acceleration of housing delivery, including not just new builds but also conversion and reuse. Can the witnesses share any thoughts on how this type of review process could be conducted on a more frequent, agile and iterative basis? A process whereby it happens once every ten years probably is not fit for purpose.
