expectations of the community. These amendments are necessary to protect the amenity of the ACT for people and to support our natural environment and the health and wellbeing of the community. The bill will deliver best-practice legislation, in line with our community’s values, to reduce the problem of littering and illegal dumping in all of its forms, and, through this process, bring positive social, environmental and economic outcomes for a cleaner, more livable city that is free from pollution.

I table the revised explanatory statement, and I commend the bill to the Assembly.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Bill agreed to in principle.

Detail stage

Clause 1.

MR STEEL (Murrumbidgee—Minister for City Services, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Recycling and Waste Reduction, Minister for Roads and Active Travel and Minister for Transport) (4.31): I seek leave to move amendments to this bill which have not been considered or reported on by the scrutiny committee.

Leave granted.

MR STEEL: I table three supplementary explanatory statements to the amendments.

MS LE COUTEUR (Murrumbidgee) (4.32): I seek leave to move amendments to this bill which have not been circulated in accordance with standing order 178A.

Leave granted.

Clause 1 agreed to.

Clause 2.

MR STEEL (Murrumbidgee—Minister for City Services, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Recycling and Waste Reduction, Minister for Roads and Active Travel and Minister for Transport) (4.32): I move amendment No 1 on the green paper circulated in my name [see schedule 3 at page 4173]. This is a minor technical amendment that omits section 28 of the bill from the list of sections that have a delayed effect. This means that section 28 of the bill, relating to a hoarding code of practice, will take effect the day after the bill is notified so that the code of practice can be made as soon as needed.

Amendment agreed to.

MS LE COUTEUR (Murrumbidgee) (4.33): I wish to move amendment No 1 circulated in my name.
