A spokesperson for the Department of Planning and Environment said the local community always had an opportunity to share its views. 

"Community consultation is an integral part of the planning process and the applicant will have to respond to the feedback we receive and this is taken into consideration when we develop our recommendations," the spokesperson said. 

"It's easy to participate by going online and we encourage everyone to take a look and have their say."
