David & Kylea, ensure APH publishes real-time data of planning permits currently valid in Australia versus number of building permits.
There is undue blame on Local Government planning - at a time when there is a glut of ready-to-go residential permits for people to engage builders! #planningmatters

During my PhD, I’ve learned 3 key lessons:
1️⃣ Identify a problem you can solve with available resources.
2️⃣ Define the problem and approach systematically.
3️⃣ Spend 80% of your time planning; execution is just 20%.

If I have 5 days, 3 go to planning!
