(2) The total number of ACT establishments used from each of the four booking offices are as follows:

 JUNE JULY AUGUST

 JOLIMONT CENTRE 34 31 30

 VISITOR INFORMATION CENTRE 23 25 29

 SYDNEY OFFICE 27 25 25

 MELBOURNE OFFICE 31 24 35 

(3) As with question (1) provision of information on the number of bookings, including bed nights, and revenue figures for every hotel, motel and motor inn in Queanbeyan, NSW, would require an excessive use of staff resources in the Tourist Bureau which I am not prepared to authorise. However the figures for the total value of accommodation booked for Queanbeyan establishments through the bureau are as follows:

 JUNE JULY AUGUST

 $ $ $

 JOLIMONT CENTRE NIL NIL 438

 VISITOR INFORMATION CENTRE NIL 260 214

 SYDNEY OFFICE NIL 112 143

 MELBOURNE OFFICE NIL 234 391

  NIL 606 1,186

Aged Persons Units

Mr Whalan: On 26 October 1989 Mr Collaery asked Mrs Grassby the following question:

I refer to a recent Gazette notice which shows that a contract was let for the design of eight aged persons units in Ainslie to a Tasmanian firm. Minister, will you inform the Assembly of the selection criteria used to select design agents and will you advise whether there are any additional costs incurred in using non-local agents?

I am responding, as construction issues are part of my portfolio. Consultants are engaged by ACT Public Works (ACTPW) on behalf of their client, in this case the Housing Trust. The general policies for selection of agents includes:

. Work expertise and experience

. Office location

. Particular design skills

. Management skills

. Capacity to undertake the work

. Prior involvement in project or similar projects

. Workload

. Performance record
