Draft Policy NZ1 seeks to support the Council’s overarching net-zero carbon standard across all
developments. NHSPS fully support policies that promote carbon neutral development, and the
securing of financial contributions where on-site carbon mitigation requirements cannot be met. In
considering the implementation of policies related to net zero, we would highlight that NHS property
could benefit from carbon offset funds. This would support the NHS to reach the goal of becoming
the world’s first net zero healthcare provider.
