Sustainable bush capital in the new millennium

Ministerial statement

MR WOOD (Minister for Urban Services and Minister for the Arts): On World Environment Day, I seek leave to make a ministerial statement.

Leave granted.

MR WOOD: Mr Speaker, to coincide with World Environment Day, I am pleased to be able to outline the priorities of the Stanhope government for a sustainable bush capital in the new millennium. Canberrans are indeed fortunate to live in such a unique capital, surrounded by bush parks and forests and blessed with such rich natural and cultural heritage and high-quality air and water.

Like the Canberra community, the government is strongly committed to ensuring that our natural and cultural environment is properly and effectively conserved, managed and protected in order to maintain a viable and sustainable Canberra community. That has been a consistent high priority for the Assembly and all governments since self-government, including the period some years ago when I first served as the minister responsible for the environment. Members of the current Assembly have already made it clear that this priority will continue.
