South Australia’s Regulatory Framework

The Commission was asked to make recommendations to modernise South Australia’s regulatory framework to better support investment, employment and productivity growth. The inquiry considered how to make regulation making and regulator behaviour more efficient, effective and future oriented. It was part of the Modern Regulation project which also included a program of regulatory reviews into specific areas of regulation affecting key economic processes or sectors.

Report Consultation

Following the release of the draft report on 5 August 2021, the Commission further engaged with stakeholders and interested parties on its analyses, conclusions, information requests and draft recommendations. It also requested submissions on the draft report.

The Commission thanks the many contributions from stakeholders during this process.

Consistent with the consultation process, the Commission will publish every submission it receives on its website unless it is determined by the Commission as being confidential, offensive, potentially defamatory, beyond the scope of the inquiry’s terms of reference, or an abuse of process.

This approach supports the Commission’s commitment to transparency, and enables other parties interested in the inquiry to consider contributors’ views unless there is a valid reason why those views should not be shared beyond the Commission.
