. Section 4(5)(1)(g) - Functions of the Council: NHBRC saw this provision as problematic, especially where the Council may be called upon to do investigations, and then to review and provide comments on same. This would create a "judge and jury" scenario, and would not be accepted in the built environment. Also, this would expose the Council for Geosciences to possible charges of negligence and therefore appropriate insurance would need to be put in place. Council for Geosciences would also effectively compete with other professionals. The NHRBC proposed that the Council for Geosciences concentrate on pre- feasibly investigations for strategic planning, and mapping of same, rather than involving themselves in detailed Phase 1 and 2 investigations, and which had the potential of causing an industry outcry.
