Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 8 Hansard (27 June) . . Page.. 2549 ..
WITH REGARD TO EDUCATION I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THAT AS OUTLINED IN THE STRATEGY LAUNCH IN AUGUST 1995, THE ACT GOVERNMENT HAS WITH THE COMMONWEALTH BEEN PARTICIPATING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NATIONAL CIVICS EDUCATION PROGRAM. THE CURRICULUM MATERIAL WILL BE USED IN ACT SCHOOLS.
ACCRUAL ACCOUNTING WILL MAKE THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE COSTS OF GRAFFITI VANDALISM EASIER TO EXTRACT. THIS DATA WILL BE SHARED BY SCHOOLS TO IDENTIFY AND DEVELOP SUCCESSFUL GRAFFITI-REDUCTION TACTICS.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT ROADSIGNS BE RAISED. THE
GOVERNMENT HAS DIRECTED THAT ALL ROADSIGNS BE RAISED TO
THE MAXIMUM NATIONAL STANDARD HEIGHT. RAISING THE HEIGHT
BEYOND THIS LIMIT WOULD UNFORTUNATELY BRING OTHER ISSUES
INTO PLAY SUCH AS LINES OF SIGHT, LEGIBILITY, REFLECTANCE,
SAFETY AND THROUGH-LIFE MAINTENANCE COSTS. THIS BEING THE
CASE IT IS NOT INTENDED TO RAISE THE SIGNS ABOVE THE
NATIONAL STANDARD.
