Renewable rollout puts ‘pressure’ on regional councils to upgrade asset capacity

New South Wales Nationals Leader Dugald Saunders says Labor’s renewable push in regional areas are placing pressure on a “range” of council assets which they may not have the capacity to upgrade. “It is putting more pressure on a range of assets like water, sewer, waste, which simply some councils don't have capacity to upgrade without significant help from the government,” Mr Saunders said. “Which at this point in time is not there and it is not being promised.”
