National policy context
Standing Council on Environment and Water
National Plan for Clean Air
Need to manage emissions from wood heaters:
1.1 million wood heaters in service in Australia
40,000 tonnes per annum
around 25,000 units sold in 2012

National plan stage 1 - focuses on particles
Benefits in first focussing on particulate matter:
Size of health benefits to be gained
Current population exposure to particles
Range of cost-effective actions available

Regulatory impact assessments
Need for action (i.e. before addressing the problem)
Emphasis is on analysis of feasible options
Benefits and costs are assessed
COAG requires broad stakeholder consultation
Consultation helps identify gaps

Regulatory impact analysis elements
1 •Statement of Problem: RIS clearly identifies problem(s)
2 •Objectives: Intended outcomes, goals; should not pre-justify a preferred solution
3 •Statement of Options: Identify a range of viable options
4 •Impact Analysis (Costs and Benefits): Provide adequate analysis of costs and benefits of options
5 •Consultation: Describe consultation and summarise views
6 •Evaluation and Conclusion: Why preferred option; Benefits of proposal outweigh the costs
7 •Implementation and Review: Provide how preferred option implemented, monitored and reviewed Consultation RIS

Business-as-usual scenario
Under business-as-usual scenario for wood heaters:
Estimated fall in particulate emissions from around 40,000 tonnes to 35,000 tonnes over next 20 years
Under policy options examined, reductions on BAU after 20 years range: from 3% (for Option 1) to 18% (for Option 9)

Implementing costs to manufacturer Range estimated over 20 years to meet standard
changes:
Option 1: $240,000: improvements to heaters to comply with
the existing standard and any re-testing required
Option 9 $17 million: development costs to meet tighter
emission and efficiency standards

Health benefit estimates
Over the 20 year assessment period:
From $760 million to around $1,850 million
Greatest emission reductions are estimated for Option 9
BUT highest health benefits estimated for Option 7 due to shorter phase-in period for new standards

Social impacts of policy options
Tightening of standards may impact manufacturers
Impact on heater prices estimated from $20 to $230
Options 1 & 2 targets critical urban airsheds
Options 3 – 9 mostly targets rural airsheds
Most benefits to urban residents under all options
Due to greater population of urban centres
