The Hearing Commissioners' panel held a pre-Hearing conference last week to determine an appropriate timeline and procedure, and heard applications on the timing from five parties.
Mr Whiting said the decision on the timeline enabled the parties to progress the Hearing in a "logical and timeous manner which enables all parties to be involved and to present their cases to the Hearing Panel".
Factors to be considered at the Hearing include Maori culture, salvage, contaminants and ecology, planning, natural character and landscape, dive safety and navigation and social and recreation.
The full Memorandum, all information on the process, submissions and all material for the Hearing can be found on www.renaresourceconsent.org.nz.
