"Cabinet has amended State planning regulations allowing Queensland’s more than 460 non-State schools to fast-track the delivery of projects worth over $700 million, funded under the Federal Government’s $14.7 billion schools stimulus package. “The change now means that non-State schools will not have to go through the usual local government approval processes for new buildings on their schools sites,” said the Premier."
