The Basin Plan Forums

We have created the Basin Plan Forums for you to talk online about the community information sessions and discuss issues raised in the Guide to the Proposed Basin Plan. While not formal submissions, your comments will help us improve community engagement and shape the Proposed Basin Plan.

To contribute, you will need to join the Basin Plan Forums. You will be asked to include a name, username, password, email address, postcode and areas of interest. You will also be asked for some employment-related details – although you may choose not to provide these.

Your name and email address will not be included in any posts you make – just the username you create.
