Heads of Maritime Area and Foreshore (Amendment) Bill 2013: Discussion
1:50 pm
Dr. Anne Marie O'Hagan:
The Bill does not specify that at present, and there has been a great deal of debate over what constitutes strategic. The legislation must be very clear about that, even for local authorities. If they are described as small scale developments, what is small? There definitely must be more clarity on that.
