  • Does he intend to ensure that all developments consented under the Fast-track Approvals Act contribute equitably to local infrastructure costs, if so, how?

Answer

In my capacity as the Minister for Infrastructure, I do not have a decision-making role on substantive applications under the Fast-track Approvals Act 2024, therefore I cannot ensure particular outcomes. It is for expert panels to make decisions on substantive applications, including on appropriate conditions.
