MRS KIKKERT (Ginninderra) (11.13): I present the following report:
Public Accounts—Standing Committee—Report 17—Inquiry into grants management, dated 26 April 2023, together with a copy of the extracts of the relevant minutes of proceedings.
I move:
That the report be noted.
This is the 17th report of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts for the 10th Assembly. The Public Accounts Committee examined the process of grants management in the ACT, including the range and availability of grants programs, oversight of funding determinations and the effectiveness of how the programs are administered.
The committee held one public hearing on 2 February 2022 and heard from the Chief Minister, departmental officials and a range of community organisations. The committee made 18 recommendations as part of its inquiry. On behalf of the committee, I would like to thank those who contributed to the committee’s inquiry. I commend the report to the Assembly.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Environment, Climate Change and Biodiversity—Standing Committee
Statement by chair
DR PATERSON (Murrumbidgee) (11.14): Pursuant to standing order 246A, I wish to make a statement on behalf of the Standing Committee on Environment, Climate Change and Biodiversity relating to a referred petition.
Petition 12-22, titled “New South Wales Government Proposal for Priority Waste-To-Energy Incinerator Site 35 km from the ACT border”, was received by the Assembly on 2 August 2022 and referred to the committee under standing order 99A.
As signatories to petition 12-22, 919 residents of the ACT requested the Assembly to call upon the ACT government to: publicly oppose the proposal and any waste-to-energy incinerator proposed near the ACT; ban ACT waste from being used as feedstock for waste-to-energy incineration; liaise with the New South Wales government counterparts to ensure ACT opposition is heard; lodge a submission to oppose the proposal during the public exhibition of the development application and environmental impact study; and conduct an awareness campaign to ensure Canberrans are informed and know how to object.
