Public consultation on draft pesticide use notification plans
42 Public consultation on draft pesticide use notification plans
A public authority that has prepared a draft pesticide use notification plan must prepare a notice advising that the plan has been prepared and publish the notice in a newspaper or in a readily accessible location on its website.
The notice must specify—
the area in which the plan is to operate, and
where a copy of the draft plan will be displayed for the purposes of public inspection, and
the way in which the public may comment on the draft plan, and
the deadline for public comment on the draft plan (which must be at least 4 weeks after the notice is published).
The public authority must make the draft plan available for inspection free of charge at its head office and on its website.
The draft plan must be on display for at least the period commencing on the date on which notice is first given under this clause and ending on the date of the deadline for public comment.
As soon as practicable after the date of the deadline for public comment, the public authority must prepare a final version of the plan, taking into consideration any comments made before the deadline.
