Mr Speaker, the school meets the criteria that have applied in the Territory for years. This is not something we have just invented or made up. A draft variation to the land use policy for block 11 section 49 Deakin has been published for public comment, and if approved the draft variation to community facilities will permit the land to be used for school sporting activities. I present the following paper:
Land Use Policy - Development of sportsground by Canberra Church of England Girls Grammar School.
Roadworks
MR DUBY: On Wednesday, Ms Follett asked me a supplementary question concerning roadworks at the intersection of Majura and Wakefield Avenues, namely, "Could Mr Duby advise the Assembly how many accidents have occurred because of the current disruption to that intersection and to the roadworks on Limestone Avenue?" My answer is: I am advised that my department is not aware of any accidents which have occurred as a result of the closure of the Limestone, Majura and Wakefield intersection since its temporary closure awaiting roadworks.
Temporary traffic management arrangements at the intersection are being monitored and are performing adequately. The temporary traffic management arrangements covering two reconstruction contracts on Limestone Avenue between Girrahween Street and Anzac Parade are also performing adequately. Officers of my department have attended two accidents in that area during the course of this work. However, I repeat that to our knowledge neither accident was as a result of the disruption to those intersections.
Public Works Contractors
MR DUBY: On Wednesday, Mr Speaker, Mr Connolly asked me the following question: "I refer to your statement to the Assembly on 14 August that the letter tabled during the debate on R and G Shelley was, and I quote, "... the standard arrangement entered into with all firms". How many letters have, in fact, been sent to contractors within the ACT requiring both payment of moneys to subcontractors within seven days of receipt of moneys from the ACT Public Works and, more importantly, audit of the head contractors on a monthly basis by ACT Public Works?" Mr Connolly asked would I table the letters requiring audit of the contractors' books.
My answer to Mr Connolly's question is that he clearly does not understand the differences between the roles that Shelleys have played in the works that they have performed
