I’m particularly concerned that any attempt to “find efficiencies” in the application process for those seeking exceptions for their development proposals NOT be at the expense of the welfare of any species at risk. The top priority should always be the welfare of the species at risk, not the ease with which development applicants can have exceptions made for their own economic benefit.
Any government changes that ensure this would prove to its critics that it is NOT biased toward business and development.
