The Regulation Rumble 2025, released by the Business Council of Australia, provides a comprehensive assessment of regulatory environments across the country, offering actionable insights to enhance competitiveness and ease of doing business.
The 2025 rankings show South Australia continued to set the national benchmark for having the most competitive payroll tax settings, planning system and licensing requirements compared to any other state or territory.
From a planning system perspective, we know that efficiency, consistency, certainty, and transparency makes planning systems easier to navigate for businesses.
Mecone congratulates South Australia for coming first in the prestigious Business Council of Australia title as best place to do business in – a third straight year South Australia has earned this title.
