The Property Council has completed a comprehensive review of the State Government’s draft industrial land strategy prepared by the Department of Planning.

The Property Council’s response to the strategy includes a number of recommendations to ensure the final strategy better reflects the needs and delivery capabilities of industry.

The submission delivered was guided by the industry need for a strategy that accurately identified future industrial sites and provided certainty in terms of infrastructure delivery and governance models.

The Property Council supports key elements of the draft strategy such as the recognition of the importance of industrial land to state growth, the creation of a 20 year land bank of industrial property, a focus on priority sites and a whole of Government approach to infrastructure delivery.

However there concerns have been identified within the industry with proposed priority sites, infrastructure delivery, governance structure and private sector consultation and engagement.
