Red tape 'holds up growth and jobs' in northWritten on the 30 March 2017 State Government red tape is holding up job creation and up to $350 million in private investment in WA's north, according to a group of leading pastoralists. Yeeda Pastoral Company manager Jack Burton said vast tracks of the region were earmarked for irrigated agriculture by the Government, but approvals had stalled. "There's around $350 million in private investment just sitting there ... about 500 jobs in limbo ... probably $100 million a year in annual income," he said. "Something is broken, the politics is all pro-development and pro-jobs but it all seems to come to some kind of wall because of bureaucracy." Source: thewest.com.au |
