Please do not accept the proposed changes that the Wynn government tables under Bill 139 this round of CA Act improvements. Lets implement the feedback proposed and allow more time to digest the Wynn changes as they are likely detrimental to the rural landowner. We can introduce needed changes in the future.

Also note the changes proposed should include any required work determined by an Appointed Engineer under the Drainage Act under Section 78 scope. This would provide absolute clarity to ensure all items mentioned in Section 78 of the Drainage Act are exempt from the permit process. The government including the CAs should work to define best engineering practices that are followed for Section 78 work, much like DART. But the scope would be expanded to include outlet improvements, etc as determined by a Drainage Engineer for proper Drain function.

The CA should not be mandating expensive studies they are unwilling to pay for, yet all we need a best practice guide for all to use.
