Improving regulation to make WA an attractive place to invest and do business is now more important than ever, not only to deliver a competitive business environment, but also meet future global needs.
WA’s economic growth relies on businesses being free to focus on investment, but businesses continue to be hamstrung by inefficient and overly complex regulation.
In the global race for capital, particularly in emerging industries pivotal to the net zero transition, highly complex and costly regulatory regimes undermine our desire to grow and diversify our economy.
From an approvals framework that is slow, inefficient and costly to retail trading hours that are out-of-touch, and a lack of digital government services and access to the online world, WA businesses need regulatory reform to support economic growth.
What we are working for
- Reforms across Government to cut red tape and support economic growth, in particular removing duplication and legislative barriers.
- Perth needs a more contemporary retail trade environment by reducing restrictions on trading hours and removing regulations, which dictate what businesses can and cannot sell.
- Improved workflow, through digitisation of Government services and a more agile and accountable public sector, which meets the needs of businesses today and into the future.
- Pushing back on Federal Government reforms, like ‘Nature Positive’ and industrial relations, which are damaging business activity in Western Australia.
