National Policy Statements

National Policy Statements (NPSs) are documents issued by the government that set out clear, strategic principles and policies for planning major infrastructure projects across the country. They provide guidance to developers and decision-makers on how to assess and approve projects like energy, transportation, or waste facilities, ensuring consistency and alignment with national priorities. NPSs help streamline the approval process, balance local and national interests, and promote sustainable development while respecting environmental and community impacts.
