Full audio recordings can be accessed via the Engage Victoria website and will be removed when the WRL Inquiry and Advisory Committee (IAC) has submitted its report to the Minister for Planning. Directions 50-51 of the IAC provide for the use of the recordings can be found on the Engage Victoria website.
