On 22 December 2005 an officer within Urban Services discovered this facility on the NTC website. The ACT Public Service Christmas Shutdown period from 24 December 2005 to 2 January 2006 (a 10 day period) prevented officers in Urban Services from responding to this development until early in January 2006. It was not clear to Urban Services staff what mechanism members of the public could use to submit comments on the proposed changes to the ARR to the NTC until 22 December 2005. However, the email sent to local stakeholders on January 2006 for allowed ample time for them to read the four documents about proposed changes to the Australian Road Rules and provide comments to the NTC by 3rd February 2006.
(3) The update of the Road Transport website had to be completed before the media release could be written, as the media release requested members of the public to log onto the Road Transport website to obtain information about the proposed changes the ARR.

(2) Of the cameras that are not in current operation, (a) what is their location and (b) why are they not in operation;
(3) Of the 15 CCTV cameras, (a) how many have been out of operation at some stage throughout 2005-06 to date, (b) which cameras were affected and (c) why were they out of operation;
(4) Have the two CCTV cameras that were removed been put back into service; if not, why not;
(5) Is the location of the first removed camera on the Bunda Street footpath and what is the location of the second camera that was removed;
(6) Has funding been provided for a dedicated CCTV Control Centre; if so, (a) how much will it cost and (b) where will it be located; if not, why not;
(7) Have dedicated staff been employed to operate the CCTV system; if so, how many will be employed; if not, why not.
Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) 13 cameras.
(2) Two cameras are not in operation because development works are taking place on the original sites of the cameras. It would not be desirable, for operational and security reasons, to go into detail of the locations of operative and inoperative cameras.
(3) See answer to question (2) above. A third camera was out of commission for a short period until a new electricity source was provided following the loss of supply when the building which provided electricity was demolished.
