• Improving operational business practices—actions that are related to the potential changes to conditions of employment, work practices or other businesses processes for Transport Canberra, Transport Canberra staff, that would either encourage or require more bus drivers to work weekends or reduce the number of drivers required to provide the same level of service on weekends.
• Weekend timetable update—actions that are related to the implementation of a new weekend timetable with targeted reductions in services designed to allow weekend services to be delivered reliably and with incremental increases to services on weekends over time once reliability has been achieved.
The ACT government is confident that we are able to deliver against the action plan and I am pleased to announce today that over 250 applicants have applied to join the ranks of our driver workforce. The ACT government has committed to reporting back to the Legislative Assembly and to the community on a quarterly basis on the reliability of weekend bus services and progress towards implementing this action plan.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
