We’re committed to a transparent and collaborative approach to our transport planning, policies and project delivery. We work closely with our partners and engage widely across all our activities with our stakeholders and communities every day to share information and gain valuable insights.
Publicly notified consultations are a key way we gather feedback to help shape and inform our work.
Feedback or submission received in consultations will be deemed public information and may be published afterwards, but we will not publish information that identifies an individual person. As a government agency, we also have to respond to Official Information Act requests.
