The references to climate change in the Document are welcomed, particularly those in paragraphs 2.5, 2.11 and 2.12 of the Document. However, the risk from climate change should be embedded and considered elsewhere in the Document, for instance,
* Chapter 4, Objectives, page 62 - insert an additional objective to read, 'Ensure that the vulnerability to climate change impacts is minimised by the development proposal and that such development will not increase the vulnerability from climate change impacts.'
