Home owners’ tradie bills expected to decrease in Qld
With more than 9,000 regulatory requirements removed in Queensland over 15 months, according to a new report, there should be subsequent decreases in costs to homeowners.
The recently released Annual Report of Reducing the Burden of Regulation in Queensland catalogued the regulatory changes, with Treasurer Tim Nicholls noting that it outlined a significant milestone.
“Our reforms to streamline the development application and assessment process for construction projects will save industry $135 million over 10 years,” said Nicholls.
“Cutting red tape for plumbers doing ordinary household kitchen and bathroom work is set to save business up to $18 million a year that can be passed on in reduced prices for householders,” he said.
This could spell out a good future for those whose properties need work or who are concerned about their maintenance bills.
Assistant Minister for Finance, Administration and Regulatory Reform Deb Frecklington said that 9,400 regularly requirements had been removed, totalling 3.55% of the regulatory burden.
“These reforms are not just happening in one area but right across all government departments, delivering tangible benefits and savings to business and the community,” she said.
