  • $20 million reallocated to social housing in Kununurra and Wyndham

    $20 million reallocated to social housing in Kununurra and Wyndham

    • Funds reallocated from Kununurra Aboriginal
      Short Stay to refurbishments and new social housing in Kununurra and Wyndham
    • Cook Government acknowledges the advocacy of
      stakeholders for more temporary and permanent housing locally

    The Cook Government will
    deliver a significant boost to social housing in Kununurra and Wyndham, after
    reallocating the nearly $20 million initially committed to the Kununurra
    Aboriginal Short Stay Accommodation (KASSA).

    This includes funding to
    construct new houses in the community and to refurbish and return existing
    social housing stock to the system.

    Redirecting this funding
    will boost the supply of social housing by up to 32 homes over the next two
    years.

    This includes eight homes
    that are ready to contract with local builders to construct, and four that are
    ready to commence the design process.

    These projects will
    provide a pipeline of work to local builders, offering opportunities for
    Aboriginal employment, training and apprenticeships.

    The reallocation allows
    the State Government, through the Department of Housing and Works, to engage
    small and medium businesses that may not have benefited from a project on the
    scale of a short stay.

    The government acknowledges
    the work of local stakeholders who advocated for the KASSA, but ultimately it
    was no longer feasible.

    The project has faced
    significant challenges, including a lack of suitable vacant land or existing
    facilities for repurposing.

    The Department of Housing
    and Works, in partnership with local stakeholders, looked extensively for
    workable sites.

    A site was identified in
    early 2024, however, the existing facility is now an Aboriginal youth training,
    education and accommodation service – a much-needed service for the local
    community.

    As a result, the government
    withdrew from negotiations from this site.

    The reallocation is part
    of the Cook Government’s record $6.3 billion spend on housing measures since
    2021, including the delivery of more than 3,800 social homes.

    Comments attributed to Housing and Works Minister John Carey:

    “I acknowledge there will
    be many people in the community disappointed by the decision to reallocate
    funding for the project, but our government is ensuring every dollar committed
    to the short stay will be spent in the Kununurra and Wyndham communities.

    “This investment will
    deliver up to 32 homes for vulnerable members of the community, helping to
    address the demand for social housing in the area.

    “While this project is no
    longer feasible, our government will continue to engage with local stakeholders
    to increase access to secure housing.”

  • Sidley Blockchain Bulletin – Blockchain in 2026: Business, Legal and Regulatory Outlook | Insights

    Blockchain technology and asset tokenization are moving beyond proof-of-concept use cases to production-scale systems, requiring businesses and regulators to confront questions that are no longer theoretical. As institutional adoption expands and rulemaking, enforcement, and litigation accelerate across jurisdictions, the legal consequences of how these technologies are structured, deployed, and governed have become more immediate and more complex.

    Looking ahead to 2026, Sidley’s global multidisciplinary blockchain team has drawn on its regulatory, transactional, and disputes experience to assess how these trends are likely to evolve. In this Blockchain Bulletin feature, we set out our top 10 predictions for the developments that will most influence blockchain and digital asset activity in the year ahead.

    Capital Markets, Investment Opportunities, and Institutional Adoption

    1. Tokenized assets will move beyond the pilot stage and become a capital markets and investment fund distribution strategy.

    WHY? 2026 starts with pro-innovation leadership in place at all the major U.S. financial regulators. With a green light from regulators, the potential benefits from distributed ledger technology will finally be tested at scale.1

    2. Opportunities for exposure to digital asset investments will continue to proliferate, and allocation questions will become more nuanced than a simple yes or no.

    WHY? Regulatory changes in 2025 made it easier for investment products to come to market, including exchange-traded products with direct exposure to crypto assets and digital commodity derivatives contracts. While the trend of digital asset treasury companies has slowed, exposure to digital assets in public markets will quietly continue to increase as the technology is integrated into mainstream applications.2

    3. Tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) will become a viable distribution tool for illiquid assets without disintermediating traditional finance.

    WHY? Tokenized RWAs increasingly sit inside familiar legal and financial structures — special-purpose vehicles, credit facilities, securitizations, and fund vehicles — rather than replace them. Assets that generate predictable revenues but suffer from fragmented or illiquid secondary markets are well suited to tokenization. Institutions will selectively incorporate tokenized RWAs to improve collateral mobility, fractional participation, and settlement efficiency, not to bypass existing gatekeepers.3

    4. Commercial law clarity will accelerate the use of digital assets as collateral.

    WHY? As amendments to the Uniform Commercial Code take effect across a majority of U.S. states, including New York’s recent adoption of Article 12 governing controllable electronic records, digital assets are increasingly being treated as usable collateral under established commercial law principles. These changes provide greater clarity around how security interests in digital asset collateral — including margin — can be created, perfected, and enforced, reducing legal uncertainty for lenders, intermediaries, and market participants.4

    Corporate Strategy, M&A, and Business Transformation

    5. Institutions will recognize that legacy business, corporate, and fundraising models are under serious threat and the pace of change will continue to accelerate.

    WHY? A paradigm shift is underway, affecting everything from financial and data privacy to operational infrastructure to corporate domicile choices. As assumptions are questioned, decisions across the board are being reexamined. Trailblazing institutions are already in motion, and those that remain on the sidelines will need to play catch-up.5

    6. M&A activity will continue to trend upward as industry leaders and legacy players consolidate.

    WHY? The significant market consolidation from 2025 is expected to continue into 2026. As adoption accelerates, companies looking to grow or expand into blockchain technology will increasingly choose to buy rather than build. Proven technologies, established teams, and existing distribution will command a premium as network effects make scale and speed decisive, particularly as companies seek to offer both horizontally and vertically integrated products and services.

    7. While financial-use cases have generated the most attention, tokenized assets used as operational tools for rights, access, and verification will meaningfully change how businesses interact with users.

    WHY? Businesses and regulators increasingly recognize that many tokens are not financial instruments, enabling broader adoption of blockchain for nonfinancial, operational-use cases.6 For example, in consumer products, tokens can authenticate goods, manage warranties, and enable loyalty and resale programs. In real estate, they can govern access rights, leasing, title records, and building services. In healthcare, tokens can support identity verification, consent management, credentialing, and secure data access. In sports and entertainment, tokens can power ticketing, fan access, digital collectibles, and licensing. Together, these applications enable more efficient, transparent, and programmable relationships between organizations and end users.

    Global Regulatory Change, Infrastructure Developments, and Disputes

    8. The most significant implementations of blockchain technology will take place behind the scenes with minimal change to user experiences.

    WHY? End users do not necessarily want new products; they want existing products to work better. Companies are increasingly recognizing blockchain as infrastructure rather than as a consumer-facing product — particularly for securities market structure and payments applications. Banks, payment networks, and fintech platforms will increasingly route settlement and treasury flows over public blockchains as acceptance of tokenized securities and stablecoins continues to grow.7

    9. As regulations in key jurisdictions begin to crystallize, companies must become increasingly strategic in navigating cross-border activity.

    WHY? Crypto markets have always been global, and regulatory frameworks are now catching up — but often unevenly. Differences in regulatory approaches, standards, and enforcement will matter as much as the rules themselves. Companies will need to look beyond single-jurisdiction compliance and carefully assess cross-border legal risk as they operate and scale globally.8

    10. Disputes are inevitable, but they will now come from a wider range of sources.

    WHY? While federal regulators take a more permissive view toward innovation, the next wave of potentially precedent-defining crypto litigation will be driven by the private sector. State regulators will continue to aggressively assert jurisdiction over digital asset products.9

  • Chairman Bilirakis Delivers Opening Statement at Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade Hearing on American Automotive Safety, Affordability, and Leadership

    Chairman Bilirakis Delivers Opening Statement at Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade Hearing on American Automotive Safety, Affordability, and Leadership

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Gus Bilirakis (FL-12), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade, delivered the following opening statement at today’s hearing titled Examining Legislative Options to Strengthen Motor Vehicle Safety, Ensure Consumer Choice and Affordability, and Cement U.S. Automotive Leadership.

    Subcommittee Chairman Bilirakis’s opening statement as prepared for delivery:

    “Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome. Today we will be examining legislation aimed at modernizing motor vehicle safety. Thank you to our witnesses for joining us.

    “Whether it is protecting our kids online or ensuring the safety of the cars in our driveways, we have always understood that there is no partisan way to save lives. In 2024, nearly 40,000 people died on our roadways.

    “We often talk about these numbers as statistics, but every single one of them represents an empty chair at a dinner table. We cannot accept this as the cost of doing business.

    “That is why we must focus on solutions to strengthen motor vehicle safety and empower NHTSA to succeed in its mission to save lives. I would like to highlight several solutions to bolster motor vehicle safety and enable innovation.

    “First, we are considering a bipartisan discussion draft of the SELF-DRIVE Act, which establishes a federal framework for the safety deployment of autonomous vehicles. I want to commend Mr. Latta and Ms. Dingell for their hard work over many years to produce this discussion draft.

    “AVs are not just a luxury; they can be a lifeline. By reducing human error, which causes the vast majority of crashes, we can prevent tragedies before they happen. AVs can also empower seniors and people with disabilities to be mobile and regain their independence.

    “This legislation is also necessary to successfully compete against communist China, who are seeking to flood the world with Chinese self-driving technology. We cannot let America fall behind.

    “Second, we are considering the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act, which makes substantial reforms to NHTSA to improve the agency’s operations, ensure the agency is accountable to Congress, and empower the agency to better advance automotive safety and innovation.

    “These include reforms to NHTSA’s New Car Assessment Program, which provides market incentives for automakers to compete on safety.

    “The bill ensures accountability to providing Congress and stakeholders a defined roadmap of the agency’s research and rulemaking priorities. The bill also revamps NHTSA’s general exemption process to allow for the deployment novel vehicle technologies so America can lead in safety and innovation.

    “Finally, as we consider proposals to ensure motor vehicle safety, we must keep in the mind the high costs of motor vehicles, which reached a record high of $50,000 for an average new vehicle. If consumers cannot afford new vehicles, they will not be able to take advantage of the innovative safety features in these vehicles, which will have adverse impacts on highway safety.

    “I am confident that, working together, we can advance legislation that prioritizes safety and American automotive leadership. I look forward to hearing from our witnesses on how we can achieve that dream together.”

  • New, Sustainably Built Lakewood Medical Offices To Open

    Modern design enables staff to deliver next generation of care

    Inside the new Lakewood Medical Offices, patients and staff will find 65 exam rooms, compared to 58 in the old building, meeting the need for one of Kaiser Permanente’s busiest primary care locations in Colorado. Larger exam rooms will add comfort and room for new medical technologies.

    The new building doubles the number of urgent care exam rooms to 36 — which can help patients get urgent care more quickly.

    With a newly designed flow through building, patients will be able to navigate services more easily.

    The new Lakewood Medical Offices will also have more services available under a single roof. Services available will include:

    • Primary care
    • Urgent care
    • Pediatrics
    • Ob-gyn
    • Laboratory
    • Medical imaging
    • Nurse visits
    • Physical therapy
    • Complementary medicine
    • Optometry-ophthalmology
    • Pharmacy
    • Vision Essentials by Kaiser Permanente

    The offices have new staff spaces for collaboration, as well as a lounge, conference center, gym, and lactation rooms.

    First-of-its-kind environmentally-friendly construction

    The new Lakewood Medical Offices will be one of the first-of-their-kind, built using a new environmentally-friendly construction method. Components were manufactured off-site, assembled into sections, and installed at the construction site. The method cut landfill waste by nearly 70% and reduced transportation emissions.

    The facility is targeting LEED Gold certification.

    Additional environmentally friendly features include:

    • Solar power generating nearly 1 million kilowatt-hours annually, accounting for more than 50% of the building’s energy needs
    • All‑electric building systems
    • Low‑emitting materials, including carpet, to reduce indoor air pollutants
    • Water efficient fixtures reducing indoor water use
    • Native landscaping reducing outdoor water use by more than 50%
    • Butterfly Pavilion Native Pollinator Certification

    Larger investment in Colorado

    The new Lakewood Medical Offices are part of a larger commitment from Kaiser Permanente, the state’s largest nonprofit health plan and a leading medical provider. The organization announced in July 2025 it was making its largest brick-and-mortar investment in Colorado in 15 years.

    Kaiser Permanente opened replacement Parker and Pueblo North medical offices in 2025. The organization is also planning to rebuild its Westminster Medical Offices — featuring an urgent care center and Kaiser Permanente’s first outpatient surgery center in Denver’s North Metro area — by 2028.

    Combined, these investments are designed to give Kaiser Permanente members in Colorado more choice, convenience, and access to high-quality care across the Front Range.

  • Groundbreaking for renewable energy scheme to future-proof bin collections


    Construction has begun on a pioneering renewable energy solar park to power electric bin lorries for Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire.

    The £6.1 million scheme is jointly funded by Cambridge City Council, South Cambridgeshire District Council, and the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority – which agreed its contribution in December 2022.

    It will see the installation of a one-megawatt solar system paired with a battery that can store enough energy to keep operations running smoothly. This will feed into 36 electric vehicle charging points for use by electric bin lorries and other vehicles at the councils’ Waterbeach Depot. The aim is to help future-proof waste and recycling collections locally – a vital frontline service for residents.

    The Waterbeach Renewable Energy Network will enable the councils to significantly reduce carbon emissions from their waste fleets. These carbon emissions are currently among the highest contributors to the councils’ overall emissions.

    By 2027, the Greater Cambridge Shared Waste service between the two councils will have 18 electric bin lorries in operation, supported by clean, renewable energy generated on-site. There are currently four electric bin lorries in use but there is not enough capacity in the local electrical grid to power more without this work.

    As well as powering electric bin lorries, the project is expected to supply 59% of the depot’s total energy needs from renewable sources and achieve over 40% biodiversity net gain through measures such as wildflower planting and new hedgerows to create a haven for local wildlife. 

    Cllr Rosy Moore, Executive Councillor for Environment, Climate Change and Biodiversity at Cambridge City Council, said: “This is a landmark moment for cleaner, greener waste and recycling collections in Greater Cambridge. This project demonstrates how local councils can lead the way in tackling climate change by investing in clean energy and sustainable infrastructure. Electrifying our waste fleet is a vital step towards meeting our net zero target by 2030 and helping to clean up the air all residents breathe.”

    Cllr Natalie Warren-Green, Lead Cabinet Member for Environment at South Cambridgeshire District Council, added: “We’re proud to be part of this innovative project. It’s not just about reducing emissions – it’s about creating a resilient, future-proof system that benefits residents and the environment. It shows what can be achieved through collaboration and ambition.”

    The construction work is being carried out by VEV – one of the UK’s leading providers of electric fleet solutions. Martin Bax, Commercial Director for VEV, commented: “This project is a fantastic example of how local authorities can overcome grid constraints and accelerate fleet electrification by thinking holistically about energy and infrastructure. We’re proud to be working with the councils and partners to help future-proof waste collection and deliver real, measurable carbon reductions for the region.”

    The scheme is due for completion in late 2026, with the costs expected to be paid back through free, clean energy within 15 years. Put another way, the energy generated could power the equivalent of 250 UK family homes for 30 years, underlining the scale of the scheme’s environmental impact.

    Bin collections across Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire are carried out by the Greater Cambridge Shared Waste service, a partnership between Cambridge City and South Cambridgeshire District councils.
