Consultation report

The consultation report aims to describe the public consultation process and address the comments received during the delimination consultation. The received comments are an important part of the planning process and are used to define the need for various investigations and analyses before the design of the municipal plan proposal and the environmental report.

Between March 6 and April 12, 2024, a joint delimination consultation was held for Sunnanvind's municipal plan proposal and environmental assessment. The consultation material that formed the basis for the consultation included both a participation and information plan for the municipal plan and material for delimiting the environmental assessment of the municipal plan. The consultation material is available on Sunnanvind's website under the tab “Participation and Information Plan”.

The consultation was announced to the public through advertisements in local newspapers and mailings to various agencies. Information was also shared via the government of Åland's and the project's website on March 1, 2024. The public was invited to submit comments through these channels.

Comments were received from five authorities, five municipalities, nine associations, eight companies, and 24 private individuals. The comments received have been classified into subject categories and are presented in the consultation report. The subject categories that received the most comments are the delimitation area, fish and marine mammals, birds and bats, the planning process, and visual impact.

The government of Åland thanks everyone who submitted comments during the consultation period. The comments in their entirety are available in Appendix 4 of the consultation report (public comments have been anonymized). The original versions can be requested from the government of Åland's registry. With reference to section 25 in Offentlighetslag (2021:79) för Åland, the consultation report with appendices will be available on this website until June 30, 2025, after which the document can be requested from the government of Åland's registry.
