Mr ANDREW: Can the minister please advise what steps the department has taken over the last
year to address the productivity-destroying burden of red and green tape on the state’s building and
construction industry?
Ms SCANLON: I thank the member for the question. This morning I announced the first tranche
of our infill fund, which provides funds to unlock infill housing. We also have the state facilitated
development pathway, which reduces red tape and streamlines approval for housing projects. There is
a whole range of things government has been doing to try to fast-track, reduce red tape and encourage
more housing across the state and support the industry to do that.
Mr ANDREW: That is great stuff. Thank you.
