Government and the Greens agree to progress CGT legislation with an extended transition period for renewablesSubmission: Victorian Draft Adaptation Action Plans 2027-31
Submission | Kate Simmonds | 15 July 2026
IGCC strongly supports Victoria’s use of sector-based adaptation planning. For investors, these Plans help provide confidence that regions will maintain economic resilience and therefore are a safe place for investment. While IGCC is broadly supportive of the actions identified, we encourage the Victorian Government to strengthen the Plans by improving the specificity and accountability of actions, increasing focus on adaptation finance, prioritising regulation and planning reform, and developing longer-term adaptation pathways beyond 2031.Submission: Australian Energy Regulator Network Resilience Guidelines
Submission | Kate Simmonds | 9 July 2026
IGCC supports the AER’s efforts to provide greater clarity on resilience expenditure. However, the consultation paper focuses primarily on process, rather than strategic issues shaping network resilience. IGCC encourages the AER to strengthen its broader approach to network resilience by closing gaps in climate science and risk assessment, improving system-level coordination, standardising financial assessment of resilience, considering community vulnerability, supporting flexible adaptation pathways, and increasing transparency of decision-making.Submission: One barrier might come down, but superannuation performance test reforms won’t unlock climate investment on their own
Submission | Katharina Surikow (IGCC) | 19 June 2026
Changing the superannuation performance test is not the single ‘silver bullet’ solution – in and of itself, reform of the performance test may remove a barrier to investment in some asset classes for some investors, but it will not act as an incentive for more investment. IGCC urges the government to consider any proposed changes to the performance test in the context of all other policy changes available to it that could, or seek to, influence investment in net zero.

Submission | Katharina Surikow (IGCC) | 24 April 2026
IGCC respects the Government’s intentions to strengthen and provide clarity to the foreign resident CGT regime. However, the draft legislation contains a number of elements that will chill much-needed investment in renewable energy and create undue sovereign risk. More analysis of the economic impact of the proposed changes is required to establish a level playing field for all investors and appropriate transition arrangements that avoid jeopardising Australia’s energy transition.
