Stephen Marcos Jones, ACE CEO welcomes moves to introduce a new “fast track planning route” for major infrastructure:

“This week’s announcement comes at the right moment. Anything which brings additional clarity and speed to a lengthy planning process around significant infrastructure should be warmly welcomed. A swifter planning process will ensure that environmental, social and economic benefits are realised sooner."

"This is also important if infrastructure investment is to realise its full potential in supporting the economy through the increasingly challenging times ahead. We look forward to engaging with the government on the action plan and supporting its implementation soon.”
