I AM ALSO ABLE TO REPORT THAT THE INCLUSION OF SAFETY PRINCIPLES AND OBJECTIVES IN A NUMBER OF RELEVANT GUIDELINES (EG CANBERRA LANDSCAPE GUIDELINES) IS PROGRESSING.

. AS RECOMMENDED, THE SECTION OF THE REPORT WHICH FOCUSSED ON CIVIC HAS BEEN FORWARDED TO THE A.C.T. COMMUNITY SAFETY COMMITTEE FOR ITS CONSIDERATION.

. A RANGE OF RECOMMENDATIONS, PARTICULARLY THOSE THAT RELATE TO THE CIVIC CASE STUDY HAVE BEGUN TO BE ACTED UPON. THE PUBLIC PLACES COORDINATION COMMITTEE (PPCC) CONVENED BY THE PRECINCT MANAGEMENT SECTION, CITY SERVICES GROUP, DEPARTMENT OF URBAN SERVICES, HAS BEEN GIVEN COORDINATION RESPONSIBILITY FOR IMPLEMENTING THE REPORT'S RECOMMENDATIONS IN CIVIC. THIS GROUP COMPRISES ALL RELEVANT GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND IS WELL PLACED TO PUT INTO PRACTICE THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE REPORT.

MY COLLEAGUE, MR TONY DE DOMENICO, ADVISES THAT THE PRECINCT MANAGEMENT SECTION OF URBAN SERVICES IS ALSO SETTING UP A CIVIC PRECINCT GROUP COMPRISING BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES. THIS GROUP WILL ALSO BE IN POSITION TO RESPOND TO THE SAFETY PRINCIPLES ESPOUSED IN THE REPORT, AS THEY RELATE TO CIVIC.

MR SPEAKER, THE REPORT ALSO CONTAINS FURTHER RECOMMENDATIONS WHICH REQUIRE CAREFUL AND DETAILED EXAMINATION BY RELEVANT GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. IT IS MY INTENTION TO ADVISE THE ASSEMBLY ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE MATTERS IN 1996.
