Planning and Environment Act 1987

Two or more persons may make one submission to a planning authority under section 21 or the Minister under section 34.

If a number of persons make one submission, they may give the planning authority or Minister (as the case requires)—

the name and address of the person to whom the planning authority or Minister must give any notice required by this Act to be given to the maker of a submission; and

the name and address of any person who is to represent them at any panel hearing.

If a number of persons make one submission, it is sufficient compliance with—

any requirement of this Act to give notice to the maker of a submission if the planning authority or Minister (as the case requires) gives the notice—

to the person named under subsection (2)(a); or

if no name and address is given under subsection (2)(a), to one of the persons who made the submission; and

any requirement of this Act to give an opportunity to be heard to the maker of a submission if an opportunity to be heard is given—

to the person named under subsection (2)(b); or

if no name and address is given under subsection (2)(b), to one of the persons who made the submission.

If the planning authority or Minister gives notice under subsection (3)(a)(ii), the planning authority or Minister must also publish a copy of the notice in a newspaper generally circulating in the area to which the amendment applies.
