Ms Lisa Rocca:

Yes. For example, what would be required for fire certificates? It is a little open, it is not an eight-week period and it could go to court. It would be great and provide security to speed up such timelines. From a developer’s perspective, the banks will still be charging interest. If a developer had more certainty about the timelines, it could be built into the model.

I would hope that an economic feasibility study would be the developer’s job. A developer should not be at a pre-application meeting if a project is not working.
