(2) What caused the two month delay in gazetting Administrative Arrangements 2016 (No 5).

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

(1) As advised in QON 76, all Administrative Arrangements and their timing, made under the Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988 and the Public Sector Management Act 1994 can be located on the ACT Legislation website at www.legislation.act.gov.au.

(2) The delay in gazetting Administrative Arrangements 2016 (No 5) was due to an administrative oversight.

Practices have been amended to ensure future Administrative Arrangements are gazetted in a timely manner.
