Next week lawyers for landowners in San Remo and Ventnor will call on expert witnesses over two days in the Bass Coast Distinctive Areas and Landscapes (DAL) planning panel hearing.

Following this, on Thursday March 30 community organisations will begin presenting including the Bass Coast branch of the National Trust, and the Victorian Farmers Federation.

The public can listen to the hearing via video or phone.

Once concluded, the panel will provide an independent report to the Planning Minister.
