Recommendation 6
6
Define central and industry expectations within National Policy Statements plainly and transparently.
Conclusion
The Government’s new strategic framework for energy infrastructure planning represents a significant departure from the existing market-led approach to development by industry. The National Policy Statements should define what is set centrally and what is expected from industry plainly and transparently, to give certainty and avoid ambiguity. (Conclusion, Paragraph 24)
