The focus of this group was RRA. Topics discussed during the session included:
- Setting the scene – the current provisions around RRAs.

- What should and shouldn’t be captured within the RRA.
- Implications of stockpile before and after 4th March.
- Have a transfer station? Should it be in the RRA?
