The Liberal Government's number one priority is jobs.
One of our key commitments to create jobs is to establish a fairer, faster, simpler and cheaper state-wide planning scheme.
As part of our Plan, we committed to establish a Planning Reform Taskforce to commence work on developing a single Statewide planning scheme.
Today I can announce that Mary Massina has been appointed as the Executive Commissioner of the Planning Taskforce.
Ms Massina is well known as a passionate advocate for reform of the planning system and I look forward to her bringing that passion and enthusiasm into this new and important role.
As Executive Commissioner of the Taskforce, Ms Massina's major focus will be overseeing the delivery of our commitment of a single planning system, and ensure proper and full consultation with all stakeholders during its implementation.
The composition of the remainder of the Taskforce will be announced in the near future.
