Interim Executive Director, Michael Kerschbaum, believes that the changes signalled that the government is serious about reform and mending its bottom line.
"Today's announcement by the Premier in his State of the State address showed a clear intention to meet the Government's promise of delivering on its pipeline of infrastructure and housing projects."
"The Government is best placed to understand what mechanisms they need to deliver their reforms. If they think that this new entity will do the job, then we will support their decision and we will do what we can to assist the delivery of affordable housing and infrastructure for Tasmanians."
"If delivered properly, the changes should address some of the structural issues that have held up delivery, but the proof will be in the pudding."
"What we would call on now is some dialogue with industry to help get the model right, followed by swift action to embed these changes."
"The Property Council also supports the Premier's calls to make this transition as smooth as possible for affected State Service employees."
