Summary: The complainant requested minutes of meetings relating to two planning applications. The Department advised that it did not hold this information as no minutes were taken, but the complainant was not satisfied with this response. The complainant requested that the Department conduct an internal review. Despite the Commissioner-™s intervention the Department failed to conduct an internal review. Therefore the Commissioner-™s decision is that the Department has failed to comply with the requirements of regulations 11(3) and 11(4) of the EIR. Accordingly, the Commissioner requires the Department to conduct an internal review which meets the requirements of the EIR.
