These figures were generated via the Incident Management System

(4) Transport Canberra records all incidents reported by employees. This may also include incidents not relevant to Transport Canberra, where a bus may not be involved but our employee has witnessed an incident. The employee may report that they witnessed the incident in case of any future relevance.

(5) Incidents are managed as per the Incident Management in ACTION procedures handbook. These include safety and reporting procedures.

(6) TCCS are unable to accurately provide figures for the number of Transport Canberra employees who have required or taken time off for medical or mental health reasons after a traffic-related incident. Employees may take time off work after a traffic related incident, however, in many cases doctor’s certificates state ‘Medical Condition’ and do not provide detail on specific illnesses or injuries and therefore may not identify the time off as a result of an incident. A workers compensation claim may not be made in these circumstances therefore the data on the number of claims would not accurately reflect the amount of time taken as a result of an incident.

Municipal services—expenditure
(Question No 746)

Mr Coe asked the Minister for Transport and City Services, upon notice, on 22 September 2017:

Can the Minister provide a breakdown of the total spending on city services for each suburb in the ACT during (a) 2016-17 and (b) 2017-18 to date.

Ms Fitzharris: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

Budgets are not allocated by suburb. Details of budget allocations are reported in the Transport Canberra and City Services (TCCS) budget papers. TCCS does not collate expenditure data for activities by suburb.
