                (b)   otherwise—within 12 business days after the draft

          (4)   The notice must—
                (a)   be in the approved form; and
                (b)   invite submissions on the draft program from
                      government departments, public authorities, local
                      governments, landholders, industry, interested groups
                      and persons and members of the public; and
                (c)   state the day (at least 10 business days after compliance
                      with subsection (2)) nominated by the administering

                      to the authority.

336        Authority may call conference
          (1)   The administering authority may invite the person or public
                authority that has submitted a draft transitional environmental
                program and another person who has made a submission
                under section 335 about the program, to a conference to help
                it in deciding whether or not to approve the program.
          (2)   The administering authority must give written notice to all
                persons invited to attend the conference of when and where
                the conference is to be held.
          (3)   However, if the administering authority considers it is
                impracticable to give notice to all persons invited to attend the
                conference, the authority may give notice of the conference
                by publishing a notice in the newspapers the authority
                decides.
          (4)   The administering authority must endeavour to appoint an
                independent person to mediate the conference.
