The CPA has offered this response to news of the resignation of the Prime Minister and other changes across the government:
“The upheaval in government is unlikely to have an immediate effect on current construction activity on the ground, but we have already been told by civil servants that we should expect some important policy discussions to slow, given the absence of ministerial direction.
We hope that the government can right itself quickly, as there are pressing issues such as building safety, energy supply and security, sustainability initiatives, and the general inflationary and cost of living pressures impacting the economy and consumer sentiment, that require the government to be actively engaged.”
