Lifting the Freeze on Infrastructure

The State Opposition believes in lifting the freeze on infrastructure so that we can create more jobs and build more hospitals, schools and roads.

Last year, the State Government underspent its Capital Works program by $892 million.

The State Opposition will once again make the Coordinator-General, who is supposed to be responsible for streamlining and fast-tracking important infrastructure, answerable to the Premier.

Under this Government, the Coordinator-General is answerable to a junior Minister ranked eleventh in the Cabinet line-up - ensuring the position is effectively powerless and unable to be of meaningful assistance to investors and builders.
