The useful next question is about source files.

Artist impressions help people react. Raw and structured project data helps people understand, test and contribute.

Open-data request

Ask whether public-safe versions of CAD, GIS, survey, constraints, bathymetry, traffic, vegetation, heritage and concept-design files can be released alongside consultation material.

Capability transfer

Ask that public dollars create local skills: data literacy, 3D scanning, model review, plain-English translation, local media and youth digital-custodian roles.
