- Mechanical, fire and lift services

Civic

- Replacement front door operator mechanism

Tuggeranong

(3) The main aim of the program is to provide funding to address items identified in Condition Audits and include OH&S, fire, air conditioning and disabled access in various libraries.

(4) The aim of the program has not changed from that originally stated in the Budget Papers - refer page 190 of revised BP4, 2002-03 - which clearly states the $500,000 approved funding is for the Libraries Improvement Program.

(5) There has been no change to the details of the original program.
