OMB Public Participation Session
Monday, April 3, 2000

The Meeting room (Goulbourn Council Chambers) was packed for the Public session, which started at 7:00 pm. There were 19 presentations, (17 voiced in person, and 2 written submissions – not read).

Of the presentations:

    5 were from Munster (2* for pipeline, 3 for on-site treatment)            
10 were form Richmond (0 for pipeline, 10 for on-site treatment) 
  4 were from other locations (0 for pipeline, 4 for on-site treatment)

*(It is worth noting that the 2 Munster Residents who said they supported the pipeline, when asked in cross-examination whether they would continue to support the pipeline if they found out that more-or-less continuous lagoon use was an integral part of the pipeline system. Both Residents had real difficulty with the concept, and both stated that they were of the understanding that the lagoons were to be used only for very brief periods during the year.)
