(a) With most CAP’s the public do not have the opportunity to make a submission. When this does occur those members of the public making a submission would be contacted and invited to be involved in an interview with the CAP panel members. Such contact precludes the need for a written acknowledgment of the submission. Elected members and senior staff of the local government involved in the CAP are asked to complete a questionnaire rather than make a submission. All of those requested to complete a questionnaire are given the opportunity of an interview. The completed questionnaire is the basis of the interview. As a consequence, there is no need for formal acknowledgment that the completed questionnaire has been received.
