Hornsby Shire Housing Strategy Deadline

The latest information from Hornsby Shire is that the amended plan will be on show from 15 March to 23 April, and submissions "will be received until 23 April".
This seems a quite unjustifiably early closing date, given that residents of Beecroft and Cheltenham don't yet even know their shopping precinct has been added to the plan!
We understand a package of documentation will be provided to all residents, but past experience suggests this will be several hundred pages long, and it is most unlikely to draw attention to the inclusion of Beecroft Village into the plan.
A series of displays are being organised by the Shire in Hornsby, Berowra, Galston, Pennant Hills, and Epping. But nothing in Beecroft! All those other places were informed of the Shire's intentions last year, and nothing much has changed for them. Surely the Shire should be concentrating its presentations in the precincts that have been added to the plan this year.
