(4) The Construction Industry Advisory Group is an industry advisory body, created to provide WorkSafe with advice on its regulatory approach. The Group focuses more on operational matters, as opposed to the Work Safety Council, which focuses on more strategic and legislative matters. Whether and when the final outcome of the investigation into the Gungahlin Drive Extension Bridge will be discussed by that group will depend on issues such as whether the final report will be referred to the DPP for prosecution of one or more parties. Some issues which arose from that event and which have been the subject of discussion in the public arena have already been discussed by the Group.
(5) It will be up to that Group to decide what, if any, recommendations to make to WorkSafe in relation to this matter.
(6) Following the amalgamation of the Office of the OHS Commissioner with Workcover to form WorkSafe ACT, it was seen as administratively expeditious to combine the Annual Reports for these two areas. WorkSafe ACT is an administrative unit of the Justice and Community Safety Directorate and it is appropriate that the activities of WorkSafe be included in the directorate’s Annual report.

(7) For how long will the Authority blame the global financial crisis (GFC) for the performance of its investment portfolios.
