Australia is considered as a first class jurisdiction country. All necessary approval should be obtained after thorough scrutiny. There are some countries where you can fast tract approvals by other means which can be questionable. Yes we do have bit of red tape problem. Various state governments are trying to address the issue in such a way environment and social and cultural values are respected. There are some posters expressing their frustration continuously for the delay. Abiding by the rules does take time. Accept it.
