engagement sessions have taken place between our NoWaste team and various businesses currently involved in the bulky waste collection industry.
The first of these sessions actually took place shortly before I made the announcement of the new service, with our NoWaste team holding a briefing for local businesses on the morning of 30 August. An additional session was also held for local industry the following Monday, 2 September, and a third briefing has been organised for this Friday, 20 September, at the renewables innovation hub in Turner. I encourage any interested industry stakeholders to attend.
Part of the purpose of these briefings is to provide information for local industry to learn more about the government procurement processes involved and the next steps for these businesses to get prequalified in order to apply for tenders. Through the procurement process we are also looking to strengthen criteria around engaging with local businesses and ensuring that more local secure jobs are provided for our region.
The rollout of the bulky waste collection service is progressing because our government is delivering on the commitment the Chief Minister made that we would provide this service to all Canberra households. We will be keeping local businesses updated as we progress the opportunities for them to be involved in a future service.
Mr Barr: I ask that all further questions be placed on the notice paper.
