[Grammar] what welding techniques will be used depends/will depend on the weather

[Mixer21]

Hello.
I have trouble understanding what the form of the second verb in a future clause depends on. I've always used present simple as a rule of thumb, but now, as I'm getting into a more advanced grammar it has suddenly stopped working and I have no one to explain to me why that is the case.

Example:
"The decisions will have to be made on the spot. For instance, what welding techniques will be used will depend on the weather condition and the available equipment."
Why is "depends" not the correct option?

or

"The Board must now have a public hearing on this issue. No date has been set yet but once we know when it will occur the information will be posted in the newsletter."
Same here with "occurs".

I'd greatly appreciate if someone could help me understand it.
Thank you in advance.

I don't mind it either way. Consider the logic: Since the choice of technique always did and always will depend on the weather and equipment, both make sense.

or

"The Board must now have a public hearing on this issue. No date has been set yet but once we know when it will occur the information will be posted in the newsletter."

There, will occur is better because (obviously?) the meeting is in the future.

I'd greatly appreciate if someone could help me understand it.
Thank you [STRIKE]in advance[/STRIKE].

The quotes are taken from a test from 2011, in a national English competition in my country, the tests are composed by a respected professor who's apparently been creating them every year since 1985. The tests aren't available online, I got the copies from a friend of mine who I assume got it from his English teacher.
