State Development Bill—Jurisdictional modelling
698. Hon Tim Clifford to the Leader of the House representing the Premier:
I refer to the government's upcoming bill, the State Development Bill 2025, which the Premier announced yesterday.
(1) Is it modelled on the Northern Territory's Territory Coordinator Bill 2025 in any way and, if so, in what way?
(2) Is it modelled on South Australia's State Development Coordination and Facilitation Bill 2025 in any way and, if so, in what way?
(3) Has there been correspondence with the Northern Territory or South Australian governments about the content of the bill and, if so, can the correspondence please be tabled?
Hon Stephen Dawson replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided by the Premier.
(1) No. There are elements similar to the Territory Coordinator Act 2025 but it has been designed to complement WA's unique regulatory framework.
(2) No. There are elements similar to the State Development Coordination and Facilitation Act 2025 but it has been designed to complement WA's unique regulatory framework.
(3) No.
