Notice Information

Notice Title

PS22410

Notice Description

This short-term project will explore new concepts to modernise environmental permitting in industrial clusters to accommodate new low carbon development. Over five months, it will conduct detailed technical analysis and stakeholder engagement to review current permitting processes and propose innovative reforms.

While industrial clusters are the initial focus, the recommendations will be relevant to other areas facing environmental capacity challenges.
