Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) (a) The Chief Minister and Cabinet Directorate as well as the Treasury Directorate have active Resource Management Plans. The Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate (ESDD) has an active interim Resource Management Plan.This reflects the progressive consolidation of ESDD elements following the ACT Public Service (ACTPS) restructure in 2011 still under way. Other Directorates are in a similar process of revising original Resource Management Plans developed prior to the ACTPS restructure to address changing structural and accommodation arrangements;

(b) Both the Justice and Community Safety Directorate and the Health Directorate have dedicated environment or sustainability officers; the Canberra Institute of Technology and the Legislative Assembly have Committees in place that deal with a range of issues relating to sustainability. ESDD draws on the expertise of its wider policy groups to inform its own domestic practices;

(c) and (d) refer the following table:

(2) Delays in accreditation can be attributed to agencies having a limited number of resources to roll out the program while achieving other business priorities. ACT Government agencies are not required to participate in the ACTSmart program.
