Treasurer Ben Wyatt has today issued the Economic Regulation Authority (ERA) with terms of reference for an Inquiry into Reform of Business Licensing in Western Australia.
The purpose of the inquiry is to provide options to reduce the regulatory burden and other costs of obtaining a licence to do business in Western Australia.
The inquiry will identify priority areas of reform for business licences in Western Australia, and will also develop a framework to help assess whether existing licence conditions are appropriate.
The ERA has until February 22, 2019 to complete the inquiry, which will include consultation with stakeholders.
