NEIGHBOURHOODS
Discussion of Matter of Public Importance
MADAM SPEAKER: I have received a letter from Ms Szuty proposing that a matter of public importance be submitted to the Assembly for discussion, namely:
The failure of the ACT Government to take full account of the needs of Canberra's neighbourhoods.
MS SZUTY (3.46): Madam Speaker, I have raised as a matter of public importance for debate today the failure of the ACT Government to take full account of the needs of Canberra's neighbours. I would like to begin by reminding members of my remarks when I was speaking in the debate on country town policing. I have a strong belief that it is to the benefit of all Canberrans to live in cohesive communities with a strong sense of local identity. While there is, to some degree, what I call a sense of community in some neighbourhoods in Canberra, it is by no means always the case. I believe that it is appropriate that, whenever possible, government policies should seek to foster and develop this sense of community.
