Transport and Housing Reforms Outline Department Amalgamation
Mr Jones advocates a single Department of Transport to better allocate resources across transport modes and influence land use, with current bureaus shared with Urban and Regional Development. Transport head office stays in Canberra and staffing remains unchanged for now amid amalgamation plans. Mr Johnson hails the Housing and Construction department as a major building and construction force, while emphasizing ongoing coordination with other agencies remains to be streamlined.
