Report on Outdoor Lighting - Government Response
MR SMYTH (Minister for Urban Services) (3.31): Mr Speaker, for the information of members, I present the Government's response to Report No. 38 of the Standing Committee on Planning and Environment of the Third Assembly, entitled "The Provision of Quality Lighting in the ACT", which was presented to the Assembly on 4 December 1997. I move:
That the Assembly takes note of the paper.
Mr Speaker, the Planning and Environment Committee of the former Assembly, which comprised Mrs Louise Littlewood, Ms Roberta McRae and Ms Lucy Horodny and was chaired by Mr Michael Moore, is to be congratulated for its work in preparing this report. The report set out some new and challenging perspectives on an important issue. The Government agrees with the committee's assessment that there is room for improvement in some of Canberra's outdoor lighting. The committee's report provides a good definition of "quality lighting", that is:
cost-effective and energy-saving lighting designed for a specific task which facilitates public safety, security and recreation while preserving dark skies to the maximum extent possible.
