There has been considerable effort in undertaking important foundational work to improve the way managers lead at all levels and manage the workforce across the ACT public health system.
As part of that work, the ACT Government has partnered with the Australian National University Research School of Management to develop a Workplace Change Framework. This will incorporate key elements such as management and leadership, and identification of skills and training required to develop people further. In addition, as an important investment in supporting and growing the capabilities of their executives and middle managers, ACTHD and CHS have invested in broad leadership and management training that will lead to the adoption of better management practices embedded across the system.
ACT Health—SPIRE project
Mr Steel (in reply to a question by Miss C Burch on Wednesday, 27 November 2019):
How existing traffic conditions on Palmer Street and Gilmore Crescent interplay with travel to and from the new facility being delivered by the SPIRE project will depend upon the final design of the new facility and any complementary works in the area. Consequently, final traffic outcomes will not be definitively known until the design of the facility is finalised.
In the meantime, traffic survey data was collected during December 2019 of roads within and around the hospital campus. This included Yamba Drive, Gilmore Crescent, Hospital Road, Palmer Street and a number of intersections. Various survey methods have been performed including automatic tube counters and intersection and drop off surveys with the use of video cameras.
Survey data was received in January 2020 and is currently being analysed. This work will be one factor which informs the final design approach for the project.
Waste—Hume collection site
Mr Gentleman (in reply to a question and supplementary questions by Ms Lawder and Mr Wall on Thursday, 28 November 2019):
1. The owner of the site in Hume has leased the site to Southern State Waste Recycling Pty Ltd. The owner of the site has complied with all requirements.
2. A financial assurance of $250,000 paid by the operators to the EPA under the conditions of the Environmental Authorisation. Once the waste is removed from the site, it will be determined if this money will be used in the clean up of any environmental damage. There will be no cost to the Government to clean up this site, the removal of waste from the site is the responsibility of the site owner and Southern State Waste Recycling Pty Ltd.
