Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Ministerial Appointment 2008 (No 1)—Notifiable Instrument NI2008-527 (S4, dated Tuesday 11 November, 2008).
Administrative Arrangements 2008 (No 2)—Notifiable Instrument NI2008-526 (S4, dated Tuesday 11 November, 2008).
I ask leave to make a statement in relation to the papers.
Leave granted.
MR STANHOPE: For the information of members, I table the administrative arrangements I announced on 6 November 2008. I note they were notified on 10 November and presented on 11 November.
The most significant change was the government’s decision to create a new Department of the Environment, Climate Change, Energy and Water. This reflects the importance accorded to these issues by the government and our determination to have dedicated policy advice and program delivery capacity to lead and drive the ACT government’s response to the challenges of climate change.
The administrative arrangements also create new transport and corrections ministries and transfer responsibility for certain acts to better align service delivery and accountability for ministers. They also contain a number of housekeeping changes to reflect the passage of legislation in the Sixth Assembly.
