I am submitting the comments…

I am submitting the comments in my attached letter, because I am disappointed in the response received from the Ministry in reply to my City Councillor's letter, and the fact that it took two months to send the reply. I also wish to restate my previous request that the Ministry needs to delay the closing of comments until after the COVID-19 Emergency is over and a public meeting to explain the details of this project has been held.

Alternatively, the Minister could intervene and instruct the applicant to relocate the proposed food waste and biogas plant to a larger industrial area at the north end of the City, where access to major 400 series highways can be achieved without travelling through residential areas.
