Edition 2 Release and SPPS (2015) Revocation

This publication marks the release of Edition 2 of the Strategic Planning Policy Statement (SPPS) and follows the conclusion of a focused review of the former SPPS (2015) on the subject of renewable and low carbon energy. The new policy provisions on Renewable and Low Carbon Energy are set out at pages 86 - 91. Consequently, the former subject policy titled "Renewable Energy" ceases to have effect from the date of this publication and the SPPS (2015) is hereby revoked. All other policy provisions within the former SPPS are unchanged, except for some technical changes, such as amendments to the contents page, paragraph numbers, and factual clarifications, where relevant.
