Trees—Northbourne Avenue
(Question No 249)

Mr Coe asked the Minister for Territory and Municipal Services, upon notice, on 27 February 2014:

(1) How many regulated trees are located in the median on Northbourne Avenue between London Circuit and Flemington Road.

(2) How many of these trees are marked for removal and in what time frame.

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

(1) Nil. The Northbourne Avenue median between Flemington Road and London Circuit is unleased land therefore the Tree Protection Act, 2005 does not apply. The Tree Protection Act protects regulated trees on leased land and trees on the ACT Tree Register.

(2) Currently two trees on the Northbourne Avenue median between Flemington Road and London Circuit, are marked for non urgent removal. The removal of these trees is scheduled to be undertaken between May and July 2014.

Questions without notice taken on notice

Health Directorate—half-yearly report

Ms Gallagher (in reply to a supplementary question by Mr Coe on Thursday, 27 February 2014): Yes.

As noted in the ACT Health Annual Report for 2012-13, ACT Health engaged the services of an expert consultant (Richard Marshall) to assist in ensuring that the ACT had a sustainable framework in place for activity-based funding systems and processes. This support did not extend to the specific calculations developed for targets in the 2013-14 budget papers.

ACT public service—private employment advertising

Ms Gallagher (in reply to a question and supplementary questions by Mr Smyth and Mrs Jones on Tuesday, 25 February 2014): I am advised the guidance on whole of government notices provides that “General Notices are of a whole of government focus; relevance to government business; and which are of a non-political nature”.
