Individual briefings were given to all groups 3-4 weeks prior to their workshop date. This allowed time for
people to review the report and investigate issues further, prior to the workshop. The briefings involved:
♦ the MNAC facilitator giving an overview of the investigation and the group’s role
♦ distribution of documentation to groups.
The following documentation was distributed to all groups involved in the consultation:
Box-Ironbark Forests & Woodlands Resources and Issues Report (1997)
A copy of the report was given to the MNAC facilitator. Other copies were provided as
requested for groups.
