Written answers

Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage

I have no specific proposals at the present time to modify the planning and consenting processes for major water infrastructure. There are of course significant changes to the planning process that apply to all developments including water infrastructure that are now being implemented through the Planning and Development Act 2024.
