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.Download AustraliaBuildings & InfrasctructureEnergyPhysical Risk, Adaptation & ResiliencePolicy & AdvocacyPolicy & Advocacy Working GroupTransport 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.Download AustraliaBuildings & InfrasctructureEnergyPhysical Risk, Adaptation & ResiliencePolicy & AdvocacyPolicy & Advocacy Working Group IGCC August Member Briefing Member Meeting | In person in Sydney & Online via Zoom | 12 August 2026 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm Timezone: Australia/Sydney Baselines and Bottom Lines: Preparing for the Safeguard Mechanism Review AustraliaDecarbonising the EconomyPolicy & Advocacy Media Release: Improvements to CGT Tax Package Welcomed, but Renewables Pipeline Remains at Risk 2 July 2026 Removing retrospectivity is a step in the right direction, but the legislation still moves the goal posts.
