Smart Regulation Reform Agenda
Queensland's Smart Regulation Reform Agenda puts in place a 'smart' regulatory environment with a particular focus on productivity, innovation and competitiveness, thereby making Queensland more attractive to both individuals and business investment.
A key action under this reform agenda is to reduce the stock of regulation through a phased program of reviews by agencies of their existing regulation. Other actions include initiatives focussed at improving the quality of new regulation and improving the business government interface.
These initiatives aim to reduce unnecessary regulatory compliance burdens and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of regulations to deliver productivity benefits and real measurable savings to Queensland business, community and government.
As part of this overall regulatory improvement agenda, the Government has committed to an initial target of reducing the regulatory compliance burden to business and the administrative burden to government by $150 million each year by the end of 2012-13.
As part of the commitment to continually strengthen the Queensland Government’s regulatory development frameworks, the Queensland Office for Regulatory Efficiency (QORE) will also introduce a streamlined, more rigorous and harmonised set of processes to improve the quality of future legislation and regulation. This system will provide better measurement and understanding of the regulatory impacts on both business and the community.
The Smart Regulation Reform Agenda will deliver real, measurable benefits for business, community and government.
