Disabled persons—strategy
(Question No 447)
Mrs Burke asked the Chief Minister, upon notice, on 30 June 2005:
How does the Government’s Social Plan, particularly with reference to Priority Three, address the long term planning, strategy and funding for the disability sector in the ACT.
Mr Stanhope: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
Building Our Community – The Canberra Social Plan (the ‘Social Plan’) articulates the longer-term key strategic social objectives of the ACT Government. It is intended as a longer-term blueprint and establishes seven priorities to guide policy-makers over the next 10 to 15 years. The ACT Government has outlined its vision for Canberra in the Social Plan, including the need to maintain a strong, safe and cohesive community. Disability ACT’s Future Directions: a framework for the ACT 2004-2008, is underpinned by the Social Plan and builds on the implementation work already undertaken within the context of the government’s response to the Board of Inquiry.
