Base: the fee changes take effect on 1 October 2026, and the burden-reduction invitation leads to modest LCCP simplification. Financial Risk Assessment stage one begins once the Commission confirms its timetable. Adverse: the sponsorship ban and the Powerball prohibition are both made, and Aim to Permit is revoked, tightening land-based entry. Favourable: the burden-reduction exercise produces meaningful LCCP simplification. The most consequential near-term items are the outcome of the burden-reduction invitation, the sponsorship consultation response and legislation on Aim to Permit.
