Economic Growth Victoria is a small team that supports the Commissioner for Economic Growth to advise the Government on economic, social and environmental issues that affect the wellbeing of Victorians.
Reporting to the Minister for Finance, Economic Growth Victoria provides advice on:
- Growing a more dynamic economy in an equitable and sustainable manner
- The efficiency and effectiveness of regulation
- Industry performance
- The efficiency and effectiveness of public services
- Growing a skilled workforce
This advice may include both short-term actions and longer-term strategic reform opportunities.
Economic Growth Victoria engages closely with stakeholders – including peak bodies, industry groups, regulators, research institutes, and government – to inform the Commissioner’s work and support a productive, growing and prosperous Victorian economy.
Current work
Economic Growth Victoria is supporting the Commissioner for Economic Growth to identify and analyse delays associated with the referral stage of the planning permit process in Victoria’s planning system. This work will identify the causes of delays and deliver practical, evidence-based advice to speed up permit decisions.
The Commissioner’s advice will complement work already underway to slash the regulatory burden for businesses by $500 million by 2030.
