Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 1 Hansard (15 February) . . Page.. 131 ..
MR SMYTH (continuing):
The strategy identifies a number of potential measures for further investigation. Regular formal review of the strategy will be undertaken together with an assessment of the international and national situation. The first reviews will be held in 2001-2002 and the second will be in 2003-2004, and the results of the reviews will be publicly available.
The release of this strategy is a first for any State or Territory. The ACT remains the only jurisdiction to date to set a greenhouse target, and the first to adopt a strategy that will demonstrate that the target can be achieved. The ACT Government, Mr Speaker, is an active member of the international local government group called Cities for Climate Protection Campaign. With the release of this strategy, the ACT is leading the way in local government by setting emission targets and implementing a strategy that will meet these targets. We will be the first local government in Australia to achieve four of the five milestones in that program.
