So, far the government has chalked up the controversies as simply a part of opposition politics. However, listening beyond the chatter, one could hear the loud concerns over impunity in public procurement and how the abuse of due process undermines bureaucratic capacity when the government desperately needs to demonstrate transparency in governance. Undertaking such a project without competitive bidding, at the least, indicates an unwillingness to adhere to transparency — a third-world mentality that is antithetical to progress. #nigeriacoastalroad #infrastructure #lagostocalabarcoastalhighway

Members active in the resource sector in British Columbia need to register opposition to this effective veto proposal for First Nations. Like it or not, BC is a resource dependent province and this proposed veto will further cripple the resource sector. Already the permit application process is highly prescriptive, extremely lengthy and has already suffered extensive delays resulting from the NDP government's signing onto the UNDRIP document.

In a quest to remedy historical land injustices and streamline the resolution of land and land rights issues in our country, South Africa has introduced a pioneering piece of legislation namely the new Land Court Act. This Act represents a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to foster equitable land distribution and provide an effective mechanism for resolving land disputes. The Land Court established by virtue of this transformative legislation will play a central role, as will be outlined in this article. The Land Court Act No. 6 of 2023 (“Act”) was assented to by President Cyril Ramaphosa in September 2023 and places a strong emphasis on addressing historical land injustices, particularly in the context of land restitution. The main objective is to provide more substance to Section 25 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, through a channel that obliges the State to take reasonable legislative and other measures, within its available resources, to promote conditions which enable citizens of the Republic to gain access to land on a non-discriminatory basis.

A bill introduced into Parliament last week proposes several improvements to the regulatory framework for the resources industry. If passed, the Mineral and Energy Resources and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024 will see clearer processes and more efficient, transparent approvals across resources legislation. The changes will provide greater certainty for industry and increase community and industry confidence in decision-making. The bill also includes proposed coexistence reforms, and will be considered by the Clean Economy Jobs, Resources, and Transport Committee. These improvements are part of our 30-year plan for the resources industry. Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/gdb5QJV5 #QRIDP

This is an interesting read if you are concerned about our national infrastructure and the long delays in getting projects off the ground. It sets out a useful summary of the current position on the judicial review process and then makes a number of recommendations at improvements. With all legal processes, there has to be a fine balance between getting decisions made and allowing for judicial fairness. This is obviously particularly tricky when considering infrastructure projects and the effects of these on neighbourhoods. However, the devil is always in the details. Do organisations always comply with their obligations regarding disclosure of plans and public consultation? Do they always tell the full story? There is a call out for views on the recommendations, which must be received by 30 December. So have your say! #infrastructure #civilengineering
The Government has published an independent review into legal challenges against Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs), conducted by Charlie Banner (Lord Banner KC) with the assistance of Nick Grant (Landmark Chambers). The report makes a case for changes to the judicial review process to reduce delays to NSIPs whilst maintaining access to justice and ensuring that the UK upholds its international obligations. An open call for evidence has also been published to inform the Government’s next steps. The full report and call for evidence can be accessed here: https://lnkd.in/ezHrwkZG
