Conclusion
Rejected
We also recommend that the NPS include language on maintaining the resilience of fossil fuel infrastructure that will remain in use up to 2035, in line with existing Government policy. (Paragraph 64) Revised (Draft) National Policy Statement for Energy 23
Government Response Summary
The government rejects the recommendation, stating that the transmission network is already resilient and designed to ensure protection from potential risks and that recommending undergrounding of infrastructure would be unnecessary and costly.
