AgForce has welcomed government reforms to boost economic growth in northern Australia.
The changes, introduced through Federal Parliament recently, will speed up investment approvals for the government’s $5 billion lending financier – Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility (NAIF) – turbo-charging job and economic opportunities in the region.
AgForce CEO Michael Guerin said he strongly supported the move, and thanked the government for listening to industry and communities.
“It’s encouraging to see ministers acknowledging the need to further invest in northern Australia,” he said.
