students they can accept and, where the cap has not been met by PEA students, non-PEA students can be considered for these places, either according to the objective selection methodology in place, or in strict application date and time order. Clear evidence is required to support selection of non-PEA applicants into these programs. One such program is the French bilingual program at Telopea Park School.
Mental health—duress alarms
Mr Rattenbury (in reply to a question and a supplementary question by Mr Wall on Thursday, 29 November 2018):
(1) All staff in the Adult Mental Health Unit and the Mental Health Short Stay Unit are allocated with personal duress alarms if they are working in clinical areas. These personal alarms are stored in charging racks in staff only areas of both units.
If any devices are lost or broken, they are either repaired or replaced as soon as practicable. If any device is unaccounted for, they can be electronically tracked to the last person to whom the device was allocated.
(2) All devices are allocated and electronically registered to an individual staff member at the commencement of each shift.
At the time of registration, each staff member checks that their allocated duress alarm is working prior to entering the clinical floor. The devices operate throughout the unit via WiFi enabled systems which are regularly checked and maintained through ACT Health, Digital Solutions.
Sport—night-time events
Ms Berry (in reply to supplementary questions by Mr Milligan and Mr Wall on Thursday, 29 November 2018):
The ACT Government is supportive of motorsports in Canberra.
The motorsport activities at the Fairbairn Park Cluster operate under an Environmental Authorisation granted by the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) under the Environment Protection Act 1997. The Environmental Authorisation sets out conditions under which motorsports may be run.
The conditions in the Environmental Authorisations are to manage noise from the motorsports so residential areas near the Fairbairn Park Cluster are protected from excessive noise levels. The Environmental Authorisations do not restrict the number of events held, where the noise from a motorsport event does not breach the noise zone standard. Where an event exceeds the noise zone standard, Authorisation holders are able to use a set number of noise credits each year, which allow an increase in the noise standard by 5dB per credit, up to a maximum of 4 credits or 65dB(A).
