(6) ACT public servants are not directly allocated to the Local Industry Advocate. Ms Lundy interacts with officers across the ACT Public Service pertinent to the issues and outcomes the position has been designed to address. For example, the Small Business Innovation Partnerships team in CMTEDD does work closely with the LIA on industry capability and engagement and provides support by triaging Local Industry Advocate matters. The Canberra Region Local Industry Participation Policy (LIPP) was developed by a staff in Innovate Canberra, with Ms Lundy actively involved in the policy development process.

(7) During the development of the Local Industry Participation Policy (LIPP) businesses and industry associations were first consulted through industry briefings/forums. LIPP Industry briefings were held with

Canberra Business Chamber and their kindred organisations with over 26 business and association representatives attending;

Master Builders Association and their members;

ACT Council of Social Services;

Property Council; and

CollabIT.

Consultation was conducted through industry briefings, meetings and written submissions after reviewing the draft LIPP.

The ACT Government received eight written submissions in response to the draft LIPP.

Thirty one meetings including training sessions have been held with local businesses or industry associations regarding the LIPP.

(8) A specific list of businesses Ms Lundy has met with is not maintained, however, the Local Industry Advocate meets with a range of businesses, government officials and organisations on a regular basis.
