LNP ECONOMIC RECOVERY AGENCY

The LNP has announced a commitment to establish an Economic Recovery Agency to lead Queensland’s economic reconstruction.

In the lead up to the State Election, the Property Council has been actively engaging with all sides of politics to promote the important role our industry must play in the State’s economic recovery. Soon we will be releasing our election agenda that is focused on this. 

A critical aspect of this is to implement policy initiatives that attract and actively facilitate private investment in the state. 

With the election looming we intend to keep members abreast of all election announcements that have the potential to impact the state’s economic recovery. 

In line with this, earlier in the week the Liberal National Party (LNP) announced a commitment to establish an Economic Recovery Agency to lead Queensland’s economic reconstruction.

Leader of the Opposition, Deb Frecklington said the Agency will be led by a new Co-ordinator General who will oversee an LNP Government’s first 100-day action plan and be responsible for delivering a multitude of job-generating projects including the New Bradfield scheme, the second M1 and $1 billion in SEQ road and rail projects.

The announcement includes a commitment to conduct an audit of stalled major projects and fast track their approvals across government agencies.

The Agency would also be responsible for promoting Queensland as the low-tax state for investment and attracting $1 billion in private sector investment through the Queensland Investment Partnership, announced earlier in July.
