Questions without notice taken on notice
Municipal services—footpaths
Mr Steel (in reply to a question and a supplementary question by Ms Lawder on Wednesday, 14 August 2019):
Since my appointment as the responsible Minister I have received 58 pieces of correspondence that have requested footpath repairs.
Footpath upkeep is important to ensure that walking around our suburbs is both easy and safe. Once reported, a team will assess any issues at a site as soon as possible. Urgent repairs are made within seven working days, and less urgent issues are scheduled in larger contracts for efficiency. These are typically completed within six to nine months depending on priority.
Transport—safety
Mr Steel (in reply to a supplementary question by Mr Coe on Wednesday, 21 August 2019):
Transport Canberra undertook significant community consultation to inform the development of the new public transport network. As part of this process, Transport Canberra engaged with key stakeholders such as community councils, schools, the School Transport Liaison Committee and other key stakeholders, as well as considering feedback from individual Canberrans about the proposed changes to services.
Additionally, the Government is continuing to deliver improvements for students travelling to and from school, including through the Active Streets program with the addition of five supervised school crossings in 2019, bringing the total to 25 supervised school crossings across our city.
No specific security or risk assessment was undertaken.
Health—departmental bullying
Ms Stephen-Smith (in reply to a question by Ms Le Couteur on Tuesday, 17 September 2019):
Data cannot determine which areas record more complaints in relation to bullying, harassment and abuse of staff over an undefined period, as the level of complaints rises and falls across different areas of ACT Health and Canberra Health Services at different points in time.
