Environment BOP is inviting the public to make submissions on certain information affecting several Rotorua lakes, as part of its review of the Navigation Safety Bylaw.
Additional information; mostly maps relating to Rotorua lakes issues regarding ski lanes, swimming and passive areas, were inadvertently omitted from the initial consultation phase in April last year.

Submissions are now being sought on this additional information only and not on matters already considered.
Navigation Safety Bylaw review subcommittee chair Malcolm Whitaker says that due to the omission, regional councillors and staff felt it was important that lake users and residents had the opportunity to provide their input on the additional matters and that a supplementary consultation process should be held.
"This is an opportunity for us to consult with the public on the additional matters," says Malcolm.
"Hearings have been held and deliberations completed on issues that were raised in the initial consultation phase. This additional targeted consultation period and subsequent hearings process will then allow us to join up with the process that the main body of Navigation Safety Bylaws document is currently going through.
Submission forms and copies of the maps are available from www.envbop.govt.nz and regional council offices from April 14, with submissions closing May 14.
