Public notice - Changes to the regional plan required by National Policy Statement for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Industrial Process Heat 2023 (NPSGG)
On 27 July 2023, the National Policy Statement for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Industrial Process Heat 2023 (NPSGG) came into force. It directs regional councils to amend regional plans to incorporate provisions 3.2 and 3.3 from the NPSGG as policies, without using the process set out in Schedule 1 to the RMA.
The NPSGG provides policies to guide decision making on resource consents that are required by the National Environmental Standard for GHG emissions from Industrial Process Heat (NES-GG). The NES-GG provides nationally consistent regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for the purpose of mitigating climate change by stopping the installation of new coal boilers and placing controls on fossil fuel use in existing boilers.
As of 12 April 2024, NPSGG provisions 3.2 and 3.3 have been inserted into Chapter 6 – Air Module of the Waikato Regional plan as 6.1.3 Policies (6) and (7).
