Street Lighting
MRS GRASSBY: On 27 September Mrs Nolan asked a question about the maintenance review of street lighting in the Erindale Centre and surrounds and in the Tuggeranong Town Centre. My answer to the member's question is as follows: street lighting in the Tuggeranong Town Centre was inspected on 30 August 1989. The system, which was constructed to national standards, was fully operational and all lanterns not working were replaced. The Erindale Centre has two sources of external lighting. Street lighting around the centre, which has also been provided to national standards, was last inspected on 21 September 1989 and all lanterns were operational. Due to vandalism experienced in the area, ACT Electricity and Water inspect the area each week. Additional lighting within the car park is provided and controlled by the building management. This lighting is to be upgraded in the next few months.

The review was carried out by consultants from the Public Service Commission.
The report on the review was received earlier this month by my department and the Department of Education. A copy of the report has now been passed to my office by my department. I have no objection to its release. However, I understand it has yet to be cleared by the Department of Education. Arrangements have been made for the report to be distributed to staff and unions next week. I will ensure that Mr Jensen gets a copy.
Child-care Facilities
MR BERRY: Mr Jensen asked a question on 27 September concerning some work - and I hope he will express a little bit more interest in hearing the response when I give it -on the Tuggeranong Town Centre child-care facility.
Mr Jensen: I am sorry, Mr Berry; my apologies.
MR BERRY: I hope that he is still welcomed out there by the mothers with children who may be having tooth trouble in the future. The answer is that the upgrading to the Tuggeranong Town Centre child-care centre referred to in the question was a rectification of some safety aspects of
