Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The initiative to simplify the number of options using a community engagement process was suggested to me by the Chief Minister, Treasury and Economic Development Directorate. I agreed to it in August 2016.
(2) The objective of the new vehicle number plate slogan was to reduce the number of vehicle number plate slogans in the ACT.
Prior to this initiative the ACT had five number plate slogans in circulation which was more than any other state or territory. The number of options created complexity and unnecessary administration for Access Canberra.
The objective of the new vehicle number plate initiative was to engage the community in the process to decide on the two number plate slogans that would be used on ACT number plates.
(3) The short-listing of proposed new vehicle number plate slogans was undertaken by a panel that took into consideration how the slogan reflected the ACT and the community, how the slogan would generate pride in Canberra and how the slogan supported the Canberra brand.
