Mr Kaine: Mr Speaker, I request that any further questions be placed on the notice paper.
Equal Employment Opportunity Plans
MR KAINE: Yesterday Mr Berry asked me a question which had to do with equal opportunity. He asked which of the agencies of the ACT Government Service had produced plans. I am sure Mr Berry will be pleased with the response. Particularly, perhaps, he will be pleased that the ACT Fire Brigade has produced a status plan, and that was done in November last year.
The Chief Minister's Department had its plan approved in October last year. The Department of the Environment, Land and Planning had its plan approved in August last year. The Health, Education and Arts Department had its approved plan in August last year. The Urban Services plan was approved in September last year. The ACT Board of Health plan was approved in November last year. ACTEW's was approved in October last year. The Institute of TAFE's was approved in August last year. Justice and Community Services has an interim plan awaiting union approval, as does the ACT Legal Aid Office. So only two of the agencies have not at this moment got approved EEO plans, and their interim plans are out for negotiation with the unions.
Gungahlin Development
MR KAINE: Yesterday Mr Connolly asked me a question which had to do with the costs in connection with Gungahlin this year. The budgeted amount for the development of Gungahlin this year was $13.6m. At this date $1.9m has been spent and it is expected that a further $8.8m will be expended by June. This does not include work undertaken by ACTEW, which has budget approval for expenditure of $2.8m for this year. There has been no expenditure by ACTEW up to date, but it proposes that it will spend $1.45m of that by June.
The member should be aware that revenues from Gungahlin broad-acre land sales in May of this year are expected to exceed the ACT Government's expenditures in Gungahlin in this fiscal year, so we seem to be in pretty good shape.
