Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 11 Hansard (5 November) . . Page.. 3648 ..

MR STEFANIAK (continuing):

There is a five-year rolling property inspection plan, established to ensure that information on the condition of properties is kept up to date. I think that would be a further reason for doing some of those jobs that have been described in the tenants' spring newsletter.

MS REILLY: I have a supplementary question, Mr Speaker. Minister, you described what happens in relation to maintenance. So, it did not answer the question. The article in the newsletter also stated:

The information you provided on the Census form last year -

that was the census that related to property management -

has enabled ACT Housing to establish a long term maintenance plan and to determine which of our programs require priority.

Minister, how can this be the case, when I requested a copy of the long-term maintenance plan from your office and was informed that it did not currently exist? It would be interesting to know how you determined which properties should be painted, et cetera. If this long-term maintenance plan does actually exist, can I get a copy by close of business today? Can you table a copy?

MR STEFANIAK: I am not sure of exactly what you might have asked of my office, or of whom, Ms Reilly; but, if you give me details of that, I will see whether I can - - -

Ms Reilly: It was in the newsletter, and I asked for a copy.

MR STEFANIAK: You tell me when you asked for a copy and I will see what we can do. It may not necessarily be by close of business today.

Ms Reilly: Surely, if you are across the portfolio, you know about your long-term maintenance plan.

MR STEFANIAK: Ms Reilly, I do not know whether there is actually such a document as you described. But certainly we have a program. A program itself can be a plan. But, in relation to whether there is an actual physical document called a "plan", you might be a little bit mistaken there.

Mrs Carnell: I ask that any further questions be placed on the notice paper.

Learning Assistance Program Assessments

MR STEFANIAK: On 25 September Mr Moore asked me a question relating to literacy assessment and the answers to parts 2, 3 and 4 of question on notice No. 411, and I took that on notice. I have subsequently provided Mr Moore with an answer in writing. I now seek to have my answer, which I have provided to Mr Moore, incorporated in Hansard.

Leave granted.

Document incorporated at Appendix 2.
