"Premier Nathan Rees announced that he would overhaul planning laws to cut red tape in the delivery of essential school infrastructure like halls and gyms. Mr Rees said it can take up to 200 days to get planning approval for these important school facilities. “Delays of that length simply aren’t good enough,” Mr Rees said. “We will invest $2 billion over this four-year term building new and upgraded facilities for our schools. That’s why I want to see some of these approval times improved and cut back to as little as 10 days. "
