OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC COMMENT (expiring from 1 August 2024 onwards)

• 31 July 2024
• Opportunities for Public Comment
• SA Legal Academy

This list features documents still open for public comment during August 2024. This is noting that:

• during the Government of National Unity’s first month in existence, there was a significant decrease in the number of calls for public and stakeholder input, and that
• Bills that lapsed at the end of the last Parliament have only just been revived.

We expect the public participation process to gather momentum over time.

Please note:

• the documents are listed according to the date by which input should be received, beginning with deadlines scheduled to expire first
• input deadlines are indicated in parenthesis next to each document
• each link provided take readers to a summary with the source document/s
• where the original deadline has been extended, the date is highlighted in yellow
• where the original deadline has been brought forward, the date is emboldened in red
• the list is updated throughout the month, with new opportunities highlighted in blue
• expired opportunities for comment are only removed at the month-end
