Australia Fast-Tracks Energy And Housing Projects

2GB Sydney Canberra 14d13d Impact 5

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced the Australian government will provide more than $45 million to fast-track new energy, housing, and resource projects across the country. He indicated a public willingness to offer apologies to the legislator regarding the situation in Valdivia. The announcement follows discussions regarding government appointments and political scrutiny. The process will involve obtaining approvals at both state and federal levels. The specific benchmark for these assessments remains a key question for the industry. This announcement follows changes to the Environmental Protection Act passed by the Labor government last year. The move comes amid pressure from independent Senator David Pocock regarding environmental law changes. West Australian Premier Roger Cook is working toward a new agreement with the Commonwealth.
