Industrial Relations Minister Sophie Cotsis has halted the former Coalition Government’s paused review of Industrial Relations Guidelines: Building and Construction Procurement.
The review was an election announcement of the previous government and Minister Cotsis said every dollar needed to be spent wisely. An invitation for submissions had yielded an underwhelming response, with just two substantive industry submissions.
The NSW Government will continue to engage with industry, unions and across government to ensure procurement guidelines are modernised and fit for purpose.
Minister for Industrial Relations Sophie Cotsis said:
“We won’t be wasting precious taxpayer funds to undertake an unnecessary review that may place a significant burden on industry.”
“We’re not afraid of making the tough calls when it comes to looking very closely at all outgoing money and ensuring that we’re getting a good deal for taxpayers.”
“We’ll continue to work closely with industry, unions and across government to deliver the best outcomes for the people of NSW.”
