Concerning the process, WDC has obviously done a huge amount of work in coming up with the New Plan - congratulations to you and the team. I understand the background to the revisions, most of which are understandable, supportable and rational.
May I make a couple of suggestions to improve the consultation process which would better demonstrate WDC's commitment to consult? Your online response form is unwieldy, un-user friendly and complex. The downloadable PDF form, being a PDF, cannot easily be used by most to work up a draft response before finalising it. It would then have to be scanned to be sent in electronically. Many of the local electorate to whom you are addressing the consultation cannot cope with this process. I have converted the PDF to a Word document (to help you have my views in your preferred format) but it would be so much easier if the form was available in Word in the first place.
