Synergies Economic Consulting was engaged by the Office of Best Practice Regulation (OBPR) within the Queensland Competition Authority (QCA) to undertake a review of the Decision Regulation Impact Statement (DRIS) released by the National Licensing Steering Committee (NLSC) earlier in 2013, which assessed the impact of the introduction of a national licensing system for property occupations. The purpose of the review was to assess the net benefits and adverse impacts the DRIS would have on industry and government in Queensland.
