We will also deliver a new Building Monitor to help protect consumers from dodgy outfits and better regulate the industry.

Supporting business
The Regional Jobs and Infrastructure Fund will support economic growth and development in regional and rural Victoria with $30 million funded in this Budget.
This investment will create and retain jobs, grow and diversify regional economies, and work in partnership with the private sector to identify new opportunities for investment.
This Budget also includes $10 million to deliver the Business Acceleration Fund, to cut red-tape and streamline regulations, saving precious time for businesses and the Victorians who run them.
This builds on the $75 million invested in the 2020/21 Budget Regulatory Reform Package, which will continue to deliver an estimated $200 million in benefits to businesses every year.
