Comments on: Policy HW2 – Healthcare Infrastructure


Nature of comment: Objection


5.4 Part 6) of this policy provides that, “The effects of the obligations on the financial viability of development may be a relevant consideration.” This implies that there will be circumstances where viability is not a relevant consideration. That is not the case; it is always relevant, even if only to the extent that it proves a full contribution can be made.

5.5 To remedy this, the word “may be” in part 6) of Policy HW2 should be replaced by the word “is”.
