Past events

Community roundtable sessions

In June and July 2025, our team held four community roundtable session. Two in Hastings, one in Cowes, and another in Flinders.

A further session was held in October 2025 in Hastings.

Each session featured a presentation from technical specialists, followed by roundtable discussions where the community had the chance to ask questions, share feedback, and directly engage with both the technical and project teams.
