head coaches in the region and leads a team of majority women. She is a great example of women providing leadership in sport.
The government’s elite coaching scholarships for women will provide an exciting new pathway for women and builds on the growing momentum that is enhancing sport participation opportunities for women and girls.
Mr Barr: I ask that all further questions be placed on the notice paper.
Supplementary answer to question without notice
Disability—access
MS STEPHEN-SMITH: I have further information in relation to the question Ms Le Couteur asked earlier in question time about the role of the disability reference group in relation to access and transport. I can advise that on 7 August 2018, officials from Canberra Metro and Transport Canberra and City Services consulted with disability reference group members on accessibility and communications around the light rail. Further to this meeting, information was sought by Canberra Metro on accessibility and tactile surface indicators, and advice was subsequently provided by disability reference group members.
On 28 and 29 March 2019, disability reference group members attended two of the Canberra Metro light rail familiarisation days, as I mentioned, and provided feedback on their experience. On 10 April 2019, officials from Transport Canberra and City Services attended the disability reference group meeting to discuss with members the best way to engage with people with disability and identify priority transport issues for people with disability. On 20 May 2019, the Office for Disability collated the feedback and input from the disability reference group on priority transport issues for people with disability and provided this to the customer engagement manager from Transport Canberra and City Services.
On the broader issue of advice from the disability reference group on urban planning, I can advise that in 2018 the Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate engaged some members of the disability reference group and the Office for Disability in the development and shaping of the innovation housing fund, round 2, for which final outcomes will shortly be announced.
The housing and policy team at the Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate also engaged with the having a home forum in November 2018 and provided a public presentation on work happening in that space in relation to housing for people with disability.

Mr Wall: Madam Speaker, I raise a point of order. Before we resume the debate on the next motion—I believe that Ms Cody’s intention is to close the debate once it resumes—I seek your guidance in relation to the sub judice provisions in relation to Assembly business notice No 3.
