Mr. Conor McCabe:

I thank the Senator for her questions. Before I hand over to my environment colleagues on the community gain aspect, I will ask Mr. Tom Woolley to come in to give a brief overview of the planning guidelines.

I will give a specific example of some of the stakeholder engagement we see as important. We will have the primary law and the NMPF, and then supplementary issues will go down into a more granular level. We are establishing an offshore renewable energy and fisheries working group, the first meeting of which will be held this December. From that we hope to develop a communications protocol between both sides - I hate to use that word - which we hope they will all sign up to. That will serve as a point of information and knowledge sharing between both sides. That is just one example of how we envisage these kinds of stakeholder engagements happening, and how we are going to try to engineer it as much as possible.

I ask Mr. Woolley to come in on the broader planning guidelines because he will be leading out on them.
