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

There are no plans to add to parking capacity at Manuka. Major centres surveys undertaken in recent years have indicated that there is sufficient parking available to meet the demand generated by activities in Manuka. Much of the time, demand is less than half the available capacity.

However, during busy lunch-time periods, people may not always be able to park close to the locations of their visit and may have to walk a little. However, the distances involved are within the criteria, which are set out in the Parking Code and are reasonable for a busy centre like Manuka.

(1) Further to (a) Output Class 3.1: Community Relations and (b) Output Class 3.2: Community Affairs, within the Community Services Directorate in Budget Paper 4 of the 2013-2014 Budget Papers, will the Minister provide a breakdown of supporting programs and initiatives for each output, including (i) the value of funding for each program/initiative, (ii) dates of commencement and completion (or ongoing) for each program/initiative and (iii) performance measures for each program/initiative.

(2) What are the staff numbers and corresponding employment levels for each output.

(3) Will the Minister provide a list of capital works and upgrades for each of the listed outputs and, where applicable, include (a) commencement and completion dates and (b) the budgeted and actual costs of the projects.

(4) Have identified savings been identified within these outputs; if so, will the Minister provide (a) a list of identified savings, (b) the value of identified savings, (c) program/initiative impacts as a result of these savings and (d) staffing impacts as a result of these savings.

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

The ACT Government prepares its budget on an outputs basis. Data at that level is published in the Budget Papers, along with budgeted financial statements for agencies. More detailed information on activities within outputs is available in annual reports. This includes audited financial statements. Data is not available in the form and at the level requested without diversion of significant resources from the Community Services Directorate’s ongoing business that I am not prepared to authorise.
