MINISTER FOR URBAN SERVICES
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION ON NOTICE No 273
Asbestos Removal Program - Canberra Show Contract
Mr Cornwell asked the minister for Urban Services
In relation to the Asbestos Program and its contracts as detailed in the ACT Gazette No 31, 5 August 1992, in particular to contract 701944-1 Canberra Show Equipment $12159.75:
(1) Why was it necessary to hire equipment for the Canberra Show.
(2) What equipment was hired.
(3) For a program such as the ACT Governments Asbestos Removal Program, for which a lengthy waiting list is already established, why was it necessary to participate in the Canberra Show.
Mr Connolly - the answer to the members question is as follows:
(1) The Department of Urban Services contribution to the 7992 Canberra Show was co-ordinated by an Asbestos Program officer. This officer arranged for the hire of all equipment necessary for displays to be presented by the Department of Urban Services. For ease of administration, payments for this equipment were made frog: the Asbestos Program. All other areas of the Department who were involved in the Show have subsequently reimbursed the Asbestos Program for their expenses.
(2) The equipment hired included flooring, carpet, partitions, lighting and display accessories.
(3) The Asbestos Program did not have a display at the Show this year. Although Program staff were employed to provide general information about the Department of Urban Services, as were staff from many other areas of the Department, their participation had no impact on the Asbestos Removal Program.
