Future direction
The Western Australian Government approved a number of Government land agency reforms that included the merger of LandCorp and the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (MRA).
Future direction – land agency reform
These land agency reforms progressed throughout 2018-19 and achieved:
- alignment of the MRA and the LandCorp Boards, through a common Chairperson and Directors,
- key stakeholder consultation and feedback sessions,
- establishment of the Industrial Lands Authority within LandCorp,
- financial review and agreement with Government on a sustainable funding model
- implementation of MRA planning reforms,
- alignment of Government policies and project priorities,
- completion of the MRA Act review, and
- LandCorp and the MRA working together on planning and delivery at the Subi East, East Perth Power Station, Waterbank, and Forrestdale Business Park West projects.
The agencies will continue to progress the administrative merger throughout 2019, while also exploring legislative proposals to merge the two entities.
