The community hearings will be scheduled so the Panel will hear all oral evidence from registered intervenors first, followed by oral statements from registered participants. Community hearings for oral evidence will take place between January and March 2012.
The Panel has confirmed the following portions of the schedule for the community hearings. The schedule for the remaining locations will be released once venue availability and logistics have been confirmed.
