    The Infrastructure Minister's acknowledging controversy surrounding the Fast Track Approvals Bill

    The Infrastructure Minister's acknowledging controversy surrounding the Fast Track Approvals Bill


    The Government's unveiled the 149 projects it's lined up to receive the fast-track treatment.

    It would see the building of up to 55-thousand new homes, 180 kilometres of roads, and 11 mining developments which would see two billion dollars of mineral exports.

    Minister Chris Bishop says they're doing all they can to get growth back into the arteries of our economy.

    He has no doubt there'll be some projects on the list that are controversial.
