Stay The Course On Local Govt ReformThe Property Council of Australia calls for the WA Government to remain committed to the process of local government reform.”Derailing local government reform runs the significant risk of destabilising the property industry in WA,” said Property Council Executive Director Joe Lenzo.”Residential development is a major driver of the State’s economy and to undermine the viability of this industry will have profound implications for housing affordability and employment.””Abandoning reform at this stage is liable to send local planning and building approval processes backwards and rob local economic centres of the support they need.””It is crucial that the State Government continues to carry out its local government reform agenda, providing necessary certainty and economic stability.””The property industry remains firm supporters of the Government’s boundary adjustments and the passing of a Capital City Act.”For further comment:Joe Lenzo WA Executive Director Ph: 08 9426 1200 or 0419 044 768 Graham Hansen Communications & Policy Officer Ph: 08 9426 1200
