The One Canberra Reference Group Report is a report to Government which was tabled in the Legislative Assembly on 27 October 2015.

Whilst the implementation of some of the recommended actions is already underway, or in fact in some cases have been completed, an analysis of the Report and its recommendations will be prepared as part of the Government’s official response to the Report.

The answers to the question that are not covered by the future Implementation Plan are provided at Attachment A.
