Electrifying new buildings is an important step in ensuring all households and small businesses benefit from the energy transition, and we commend the City of Sydney for taking decisive action to progress this through its Discussion Paper on the Electrification of New Development.
Our submission responds to a number of questions, including:
- Do you agree with the benefits of all-electric buildings outlined in the paper, and do you see any other benefits?
- How important do you think electrification of new development is to achieve our environmental targets?
- Which of the planning control options do you think should be implemented? Should any of these approaches be combined, excluded or modified and why?
- If the planning controls are implemented, should they come into effect right away?
