Sustainability indicators report
(Question No 1134)
Mr Smyth asked the Chief Minister, upon notice, on 26 November 2003:
In relation to sustainability reporting indicators:
(1) Where is the government up to in preparing its alternative to the State of the Territory report, the Sustainability Indicators Report;
(2) Why has the issues paper only just being released to the community, given that in response to the Question on notice No 871 in September the Acting Chief Minister said that the paper 'will form the basis of consultation with stakeholders scheduled for the next two months'. Does this mean that the project is now two months behind schedule as consultation should have occurred this month and last;
(3) Is the Sustainability Indicators report still on target to be presented to the community early next year, if so, what date or month can we expect it to be released. If no, why not, and when will it be released.
Mr Stanhope
: The answer to the member's question is as follows:The Government has reviewed the literature, released an issues paper and consulted with the community about reporting on sustainability in the ACT. It is now gathering the data and drafting the report.
The Government released an issues paper and consulted with key stakeholders in November 2003, consistent with the timetable as indicated in its answer to your previous question on notice. The project is progressing on schedule.
The Sustainability report is on target to be presented to the community in early 2004.
