National Regulation Reform Agenda
Increasing the momentum on regulatory reform is an important focus of the Queensland Government. This is now occurring on two main fronts: reducing barriers to trade and commerce between Queensland and the rest of Australia; and reducing the regulatory burden on the Queensland business sector.
In December 2008, the Queensland Government, along with other Australian jurisdictions, committed to a National Partnership Agreement to Deliver a Seamless National Economy.
Under this agreement, Queensland is implementing regulatory and competition reforms in over 36 key areas to improve the efficiency and inter-jurisdictional harmonisation of the regulatory environment. Harmonisation of these regulations across Australian jurisdictions will contribute to reducing costs incurred by business in complying with differing and inconsistent regulation across jurisdictions.
