time targets of 15 minutes for 80% of our clients after the implementation of SEP (the Structural Efficiency Principle)".
SEP is not yet finalised, since GS06, GS07 and GS08 work standards have not yet been completed by the Federal Department of Industrial Relations.
The 15 minute waiting time target for vehicle inspection was met during May 1992 for approximately 55% of clients. The average waiting time for all vehicles during May 1992 was 20 minutes.
However, the Registrar of Motor Vehicles is confident that, with the policy of exempting some vehicles under 10 years of age after a preliminary inspection, this target will be attainable for 80$ of clients three months after the implementation of SEP and other workplace changes currently being discussed with the relevant Union and staff.
(b) Following a publicity campaign in September 1991, use of the Multi Occupancy Vehicle carparks rose to 80$ in Civic and 30% in Woden by the end of 1991. Occupancy rates in both carparks are continuing to rise slowly but steadily.
(c) The graduated licensing and points demerit system form part of the former Prime Ministers 10 Point Package of Road Safety and were to be introduced by 1 January 1992. However, due to the considerable amount of business before the Assembly and the complexity of these initiatives, these measures were unable to be considered by Government last year and were therefore passed over until 1992. The drafting of the legislation has now begun and the Amendment Act is expected to be introduced into the Legislative Assembly later this year for implementation early in 1993, when it is anticipated that essential computer programming and staff training will have been completed. Considering the complexity of this initiative, I am satisfied with its progress.
(d) There are no set target dates to achieve reduced delays as a result of traffic improvements. However, the following are examples of locations where traffic improvements undertaken in 1991/92 have resulted in reduced delays:
the off-peak linking of traffic signals on Dartford Drive
the linking of traffic signals on Northbourne Avenue; and
the linking of traffic signals at the intersection of Hindmarsh Drive and Massaro Highway.
