Note on campaign submissions

The Commission has received campaign submissions for the Redbank Power Station project, including those sent via third-party platforms rather than received directly from the person making the submission.

Please be aware:

  • You may not receive updates if you don’t make a submission directly to the Commission.
  • Form letters and petitions may not be published.
  • The Commission assesses submissions based on their substance, not volume.

For your views to be meaningfully considered, we encourage you to make a submission directly to the Commission via emailing [email protected] (or by post, if there is a reason why email cannot be used).
