Municipal services—litter
(Question No 2533)

Ms Le Couteur asked the Minister for City Services, upon notice, on 17 May 2019:

(1) Does the Aldi at the Jamison Centre on Bowman Street, Macquarie comply with clause 24E of the Litter Act 2004; if not, has Aldi been penalised; if not, why not.

(2) Does The Food Forum at Westfield’s Belconnen Mall, Benjamin Way, Belconnen, comply with Clause 24F of the Litter Act 2004; if not, has The Food Forum been penalised; if not, why not.

(3) In the last three years, how many retailers have been penalised for not complying with Clause 24E of the Litter Act 2004.

(4) In the last three years, how many retailers have been penalised for not complying with Clause 24F of the Litter Act 2004.

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

(1) Yes.

(2) Yes, noting that a recent inspection of the Food Forum store did not observe shopping trolleys available for customer use. Further inquiries are being made with the retailer to establish if they have shopping trolleys and if so, to ensure the retailer is compliant.

(3, 4) Zero. The engage and educate approach taken to ensure retailers are aware and compliant with their responsibilities in relation to trolley containment has been largely successful. TCCS has not identified any deliberate or repetitive non-compliance warranting compliance action.

Municipal services—street sweeping
(Question No 2534)

Ms Le Couteur asked the Minister for City Services, upon notice, on 17 May 2019:

(1) Why does the Annual Street Sweeping Schedule, recently published on the tccs.act.gov.au website, not include the suburbs of (a) Beard, (b) Coombs, (c) Denman Prospect, (d) Wright, (e) Molonglo and (f) Moncrieff.

(2) If a suburb is not featured on the Annual Street Sweeping Schedule, does this mean that the suburb in question will not be receiving street sweeping services.
