Although other organisations may have differing policies on how they manage representations, the Commission’s policy is that your representation will be treated as a public document.
The Commission must ensure that all parties to a hearing have equal access to the documents relied upon in the hearing process in the interest of procedural fairness. It routinely publishes representations, along with any application material, council reports and submissions received during the hearing.
Inappropriate or defamatory content will not be published on the Commission’s website. The Commission reserves the right to redact offending content or not publish a submission, or part of a submission, at its own discretion.
