The LI’s Policy and Technical Committees and LI branches regularly prepare submissions to Government departments and agencies in response to national public consultations on wide range of landscape issues.

Committee members normally draft the Institute’s response to a consultation, which is then formally submitted by LI staff.

The active involvement of LI members is essential in developing informed and persuasive consultation responses. This is a key opportunity for the LI to influence national policy areas relevant to the profession and the Institute’s core objectives.

All LIS consultation responses are posted here.
