We have made significant progress on the implementation of our 2018 commitments, including supporting my Honourable Friend's Private Member's Bill which will change the inflationary index used in pitch fee reviews from the retail price index to the lower consumer price index.

We remain focused on improving the sector and will introduce primary legislation to implement our remaining commitments, when the parliamentary timetable allows.
