No.
Care and protection orders—expenditure
(Question No 3249)
Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Children, Youth and Families, upon notice, on 31 July 2020:
How much in total did the ACT Government spend on defending care and protection orders subject to an application for amendment or revocation for each of the past five financial years.
Ms Stephen-Smith: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
An application for amendment or revocation of a Care and Protection Order can occur during existing proceedings or separately. Over the past five years, the ACT Government Solicitor (ACTGS) has taken carriage of approximately 436 care and protection matters. Not all applications are referred to the ACTGS for conduct.
Data broken down by the nature of the application is not held and to respond to the question would require a manual search of the records of ACTGS over the period which would be an unreasonable diversion of resources.
Municipal services—footpaths
(Question No 3250)
Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Roads and Active Travel, upon notice, on 31 July 2020:
(1) When was the footpath that traverses the reserve on the southern side of Kuringa Drive, running from Tillyard Drive, temporarily merging with Rochford and Brophy Streets, Fraser, before turning south into the narrow strip of reserve between Fraser and Spence, last upgraded or repaired.
(2) Given that badly damaged sections of this path have been marked for repair for some time (using spray paint), when (a) was this path last inspected for needed repairs and (b) were these sections marked for repair with spray paint.
(3) When will this footpath be repaired.
(4) When my request for a shared path in the vicinity of Kuringa Drive between its intersections with Tillyard Drive and Owen Dixon Drive was recently assessed and placed on the community path infill program list to be considered in a future capital works program, did this assessment process look at the possibility of locating the shared path in the reserve that exists immediately south of Kuringa Drive.
(5) Has the conversion of the reserve’s existing access road into a shared path been considered as part of this assessment or any other; if not, will the Government consider this option.
