(1) Has the ACT Government Real Estate Policy and its associated procedures and guidelines been completed.
(2) What cost savings does the Government expect as a result of this plan being implemented.
(3) Will any contracts for providing property management services be terminated.
(4) Has the Government given notice to any contractors providing property management services that their contracts will not be renewed because of the new policy.
Mr Stanhope: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
1. A draft of the ACT Government Real Estate Policy (GREP) has been prepared and will be considered by the Government shortly. Some procedures and guidelines related to the GREP have also been drafted but they will not be finalised until after the Policy is approved. Procedures and guidelines will thereafter be regularly updated to incorporate the outcomes of on-going projects such as the development of a national Green Lease template.
2. Cost savings could arise as the result of the application of office accommodation standards designed to reduce resource consumption. Savings may also occur as a result of the achievement of space utilisation targets and encouraging the application of sustainable energy policies.
3. No contracts are expected to be terminated as a consequence of the application of the Government Real Estate Policy.
4. No.
