1-3 The issue of acid sulphate soils has not been considered specifically by the Dialogue with the City participants, as this is a level of detail which the strategic direction currently being set through Dialogue does not address. However, when more detailed planning is undertaken as part of the ongoing Dialogue process, the constraints imposed by acid sulphate soils will be taken into account.
