The District of 麻豆社国产is hosting a public hearing about the Woodfibre LNG (WLNG) floatel temporary use permit at Brennan Park Recreation Centre.

The senior director of community development, Jonas Velaniskis, confirmed that could be a possibility. Kate Mulligan, the director of major projects—industrial, added that TUPs could only be renewed once for a maximum duration of three years.
