The Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry welcomes Premier Jacinta Allan's changes to the Victorian Cabinet.
We congratulate Jaclyn Symes on her appointment as Treasurer and look forward to working closely with her to address key economic challenges, deliver sustainable growth and secure Victoria's future as a competitive place to do business.
With additional responsibilities for Industrial Relations and Regional Development, Treasurer Symes is uniquely positioned to deliver a balanced economic agenda that supports businesses, workers and regional communities.
Other significant changes to business-related portfolios include the appointments of Danny Pearson to Economic Growth and Jobs (in addition to Finance), Colin Brooks to Industry and Advanced Manufacturing, Ben Carroll to WorkCover and the TAC and Nick Staikos to Consumer Affairs.
To be attributed to Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chief Executive Paul Guerra:
"This reshuffle provides a timely opportunity to reinvigorate Victoria and deliver the priorities outlined in the Economic Growth Statement. We look forward to engaging with the Premier, Treasurer Symes and the entire Cabinet to shape policies that drive investment, create jobs and support long-term economic growth.
"Victoria's business community is ready to partner with the Government to deliver a shared vision for a strong, vibrant economy and thriving communities."
