Attendees also took part in a live audience poll, with regulatory complexity emerging as the sector’s biggest challenge. This result reinforces the importance of providing strong supporting evidence for Sections 270 and 572 of the OPGGS Act to secure approvals and successfully progress title relinquishment.
