How the Strategy was developed

The strategy was developed through consultation with over 600 people.

This involved public submissions on a series of issues papers, and cross-sectoral consultations with industry, community, academia, local councils and government, including six sectoral working groups.

The Tackling Climate Change Summit, held in November 2005 also provided a further opportunity for input into the draft strategy.

A draft strategy was released for comment in January 2006. Further submissions were received in relation to this draft, and formed the basis for the final strategy.
