Episode Details

Victoria’s government is slashing bureaucracy and saving cash by shutting down two agencies—Infrastructure Victoria and Economic Growth Victoria—expected to cut 50 jobs and save $12 million over four years. The move aims to streamline operations, with Infrastructure Victoria’s critical infrastructure advice now handled internally by Transport and Planning. Established in 2015 as a politically neutral body, Infrastructure Victoria played a key role in Victoria’s development—and its closure marks a major shift. The government also plans to slash $70 million in consultant fees and trim smaller expenses like office plants, coffee, and commemorative plaques, all part of a broader push for efficiency under the Premier’s cost-cutting agenda.
