MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, LAND AND PLANNING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION N0. 466

Environment Forum

Mr Kaine - asked the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning -

Does the Government propose to continue with the establishment of an environment Forum, as proposed by the Alliance Government and, if so, when?

Mr Wood - the answer to the Members question is as follows:

The A.C.T. Government has a strong commitment to the responsible management and protection of our local environment.

We believe that environmental concerns of the community can be more capably and comprehensively addressed through dialogue with community groups who have particular knowledge of and interest in our regional environment.

I have asked for advice on the establishment of an appropriate mechanism which I intend will be a meaningful exercise where views will be shared on emerging environmental issues and their impacts on other policies.
