Government Drought Support
Public hearings and roundtables
Public hearings enable participants to make formal on-the-record submissions - transcripts of evidence will be taken and made available publicly.
Roundtables provide an opportunity for people to present their views in a less formal environment - transcripts are not taken and the formalities of public hearings, such as rules of evidence, do not apply.
