Planning Reform: Internal Leadership Brief

Planning reform could improve delivery certainty for Northstar’s infrastructure pipeline, but the detailed measures and project-level impact are not yet confirmed. We should support faster, clearer and proportionate consenting while protecting appropriate environmental and community safeguards, and ask Public Affairs to develop the position further once Operations and Legal validate the evidence.
