Make a Submission

What is a submission?

A submission is your chance to present your opinions, observations, and recommendations on a matter before a select committee. Submissions are usually written and are a way for people to have their say on big decisions. In New Zealand, changes in fishing rules and regulations, marine reserves and conservation initiatives go through different stages of decision-making - including being open for submissions and allowing members of the public, stakeholders and conservationists to have their say.

Submissions will often ask you if you agree or disagree with the changes proposed and why. 

Examples of submissions by organisations:

pdfRevive Our Gulf 

pdfNoises Submission

 

You can often find submission guidelines for different proposals. For example:
