Illustration for Public Works Act 1981

The Minister has to review how this Part of the law and sections 72F and 72G are working three years after they start. You will see the Minister do this by looking at how these laws are operating. The Minister must then write a report about what they find out during the review.

The Minister must talk to the people they think should be involved when they are doing the review. This means the Minister will ask for opinions and ideas from certain individuals or groups. The Minister wants to make sure the right people are consulted.

The Minister has to give the report to the House of Representatives as soon as they can after they finish writing it. This report is about the review of this Part of the law and sections 72F and 72G, which you can read more about by following the links to sections 72F and 72G.
