Planning and Development Process

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (15:01): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, representing the Premier, questions regarding fast tracking projects.

Leave granted.

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY: About six months ago the Premier advised that the government intended to fast track projects to generate more construction activity. The proposal was to provide intensive case management to projects worth over $20 million in order to expedite the approval process. Late last year the Premier indicated that about 90 projects were being considered for fast tracking. Can the Premier advise which projects are currently being fast tracked and provide brief details of what they are?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:01): I thank the honourable member for his important questions and will refer those to the Premier in another place and bring back a response.
