We are aiming to have our pre-legislative scrutiny report completed by the end of March, which is about five weeks or so away. This round of pre-legislative scrutiny finishes on 9 March. In the following three weeks, we will compile the submissions from the expert witnesses who have came in and also written submissions that we sought from other sectors, because we could not accommodate everybody in the public meetings. That is the timeline we are working to, so even a draft of that submission would be helpful to us, and we would take it into consideration.

I now invite Ms Brennan from the Royal Town Planning Institute to make her submission.
