This document will be available for public comment until the end of September. Copies will be held at libraries and be available at Government shopfronts and on the Internet. During that time, Environment ACT will work with community groups to identify and discuss issues of concern. I will finalise the strategy by the end of this calendar year.

Mr Speaker the release of this draft Nature Conservation Strategy for the ACT marks an important phase in the development of a coordinated and strategic approach to conservation of our biodiversity. It is a task in which we all need to participate. I invite members and the community generally to join with the Government in refining this draft strategy so that we, as citizens of the Bush Capital, our visitors and our children can look forward with optimism to an ecologically sustainable future.
