The Economic Planning Advisory Commission (Economic Planning and Advisory Council until 1994) was a commission formed by the Australian government in 1983 with the goal of investigating medium and long-term economic and social issues, and providing advice to the government on these matters.[2] The council was formed in response to the WA Inc scandal a few years prior.[3] In 1998 with the passing of the Productivity Commission Act 1998 the bureau was merged with the Industry Commission, and the Bureau of Industry Economics to create the Productivity Commission.[4]
Members of the commission included the Australian Council of Social Service[5] and Treasurer Ralph Willis.[1] The commission consisted of eight people.
