Chris Penk: Minister for Land Information on the review of the Public Works Act to address costs, delays, and uncertainty

Reform lies ahead for the Public Works Act as the Government aims to bring its rules up to pace with the 21st century.   The Government's appointed an independent panel to carry out an eight-week review and advise where the Act can address the unjustifiable costs, delays, and uncertainty of infrastructure projects.   Minister for Land Information Chris Penk is hoping to speed up the process of buying and selling land for fair compensation.  He told Mike Hosking that it's not in the interest of landowners to be caught in limbo with the Crown, meanwhile people are denied roads, schools, etcetera.  Penk says everyone wins if we reduce some of the unnecessary process we have at the moment.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
