Statement on Investor Front Door first pilot projects
9 April, 2026 - The Australian Investment Council welcomes the announcement of the Government’s Investor Front Door first pilot projects.
“As a long-time supporter of the Investor Front Door, we see it as one lever that Government can pull to fast-track much needed investment in priority areas,” Australian Investment Council CEO, Navleen Prasad, says.
“We also need to see tangible progress on a much wider range of levers to unlock the billions of dollars of investment that Australia needs across almost every sector of the economy.”
“Speed to market could be Australia’s superpower if we have the will to reduce regulatory complexity, speed up agency approvals, and truly recalibrate our policy and regulatory mindset toward growth.”
“We recognise the challenges of unforeseen external events but encourage the Government to maintain the commitment to growth it has so clearly voiced. That’s putting our national interests first.”
