I have also been out at Stromlo; I have been out riding there with a lot of different people. I was at a meeting with CORC last week, and we had a really good briefing from the managers—the Stromlo and arboretum managers. It has been really good to get some information out there, because I think with over 4,000 users there, we have got a really broad community, and a lot of them feel like they have not been directly involved and, maybe, they do not know what is going on. It is great to see a call for more consultation, so that is one of the things that I will be bringing on in my motion.

It is really great to see this community petition come forward, and it is really good to see more government work and attention in this area. It is such a great sport; it is so much fun. We have so much potential out there, and we have such great opportunities to make this better and to make sure that the choices we are making are right for the area, right for our environment and right for all the user groups and the people who will be using it in future.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

MR CAIN: Scrutiny report No 22 contains the committee’s comments on 30 pieces of subordinate legislation, proposed amendments to one bill, including an explanatory statement to the amendments, and three government responses. The report was circulated to members when the Assembly was not sitting. I commend the report to the Assembly.
