Dear Community Leaders and Members,

Thank you very much for the extensive comments provided on our draft FY17 plans. There are more than 150 comments in the 13 submissions provided, which is a significant increase on the number of comments provided last year.

In order to properly evaluate and respond to your comments, and draft and finalize responses,  we need to extend the timeline for producing the stff report on public comments. The report will now be published on 6 June.

Kind regards,

Leo Vegoda

For the FY17 planning team
