Submission: Proposed amendments to the Social Programs for Energy Code

The Tenants' Union of NSW appreciates the opportunity to provide comment on the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment’s proposed amendments to the Social Programs for Energy Code. We will be providing two separate submissions on the Consultation Paper. This submission will address the impact the proposed changes will have generally for renters on low incomes, and those renters with energy provided via embedded networks (generally in strata premises, or Build to Rent developments).

A second submission, prepared by the Residential (Land Lease) Communities team at the Tenants’ Union of NSW will specifically address issues surrounding Residential (Land Lease) Communities and Embedded Networks.
