Stay The Course On Local Govt Reform

The 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 altogether 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 remains committed to a local government reform agenda.”

“The property industry remains firm supporters of the proposed local government boundary adjustments and the passing of a Capital City Act.”
