MR KAINE: I ask a supplementary question, Madam Speaker. When the Minister is inquiring into this, could he also inquire as to whether teaching time on these subjects is counted towards the workload that is used to determine the number of teachers there should be in these institutions?

MR WOOD: If, as I suspect, it is one of the evening classes they put on - you probably have the advertisement right there; you could tell me straightaway - the answer to your question is no. Again, I will make sure of the details, Mr Kaine.

Big Bins

MR MOORE: Madam Speaker, my question is to Mr Lamont as Minister for Urban Services. I wonder when he will make the report on the Kaleen big bin trial available to the public.

MR LAMONT: I thank the member for his question. As you are aware, Mr Moore, my administration is currently assessing tenders for the expansion into the whole of the ACT of both a comprehensive recycling system and a kerbside MGB collection system. I am happy to provide you with that information at my earliest convenience.

MR MOORE: I ask a supplementary question, Madam Speaker. Can the Minister indicate whether the tenders that have already gone out for this system are based on the strength of this report, even though it has not had any public exposure?

MR LAMONT: As you will recall, Mr Connolly on a number of occasions when he was Minister outlined the progress of the trials as they were taking place. We determined that the tenders should be called on the basis of a similar system to that operating in Kaleen. It is as a result of the overwhelming success of that trial in Kaleen that the tenders were structured.

Ms Follett: I ask that further questions be placed on the notice paper, Madam Speaker.

RESIDENTIAL REDEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES

Papers

MR WOOD (Minister for Education and Training, Minister for the Arts and Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning) (3.07): Madam Speaker, for the information of members, I present the guidelines for residential redevelopment in area B1, North Canberra, and those for area B2, Kingston-Griffith, and I move:

That the Assembly takes note of the papers.

Madam Speaker, I am presenting, for the information of members, the guidelines for residential redevelopment in the B1 residential area in North Canberra and the B2 residential area covering Kingston and part of Griffith. These guidelines are the first two of three sets of guidelines that were issued by the ACT Planning Authority towards the end of last year for public consultation.
