COMPANY POSITIONPreferred position, fallback and red lines
View
Preferred position

Government should simplify consenting and introduce clearer decision deadlines for nationally significant and regionally important infrastructure, while retaining appropriate environmental and community safeguards.

Fallback

Support administrative reforms that reduce duplication between consenting bodies and improve pre-application coordination if full statutory reform is not achievable.

Red lines

Reforms should not create new parallel approval processes that add time or duplicate evidence requirements.
