“The Environment Court listens to your views in a public meeting about a water issue.”

If you make a submission to the Environment Court as outlined in section 209, the court will hold a public inquiry about the report your submission is about. You can make a submission if you have something to say about a water conservation order. The Environment Court will listen to what you have to say during the public inquiry.
