Österreichs Neues Regierungsprogramm: Vorschläge zum Anlagen- und Raumordnungsrecht
Das Regierungsprogramm der neuen österreichischen "Dreierkoalition" (2025-2029) enthält neben energiewirtschaftlichen Themen auch relevante Vorschläge zum Anlagen- und Raumordnungsrecht. So wird insb eine Beschleunigung und Vereinheitlichung wesentlicher anlagenrechtlicher Genehmigungsverfahren und ein verbindlicher Koordinationsmechanismus im Bereich der Raumplanung bei Infrastrukturprojekten mit überregionaler Bedeutung angestrebt. Als "Manko" ist insb eine fehlende integrierte Betrachtung mit den Umwelt- und Naturschutzagenden zu erkennen.
