MR GENTLEMAN: I will ask the agency for an update and provide the Assembly with that. As soon as we can advise that the payments have been made, I will let the Assembly know.
MRS JONES: Minister, on what date did the ACT government first start processing these applications? Was it as early as January this year?
MR GENTLEMAN: No.
Mr Barr: Madam Speaker, I ask that all further questions be placed on the notice paper.
Supplementary answer to question without notice
Planning—community access
MR STEEL: Earlier, in question time, Ms Le Couteur asked me about the temporary traffic management plan regarding the Geocon development on Cameron Avenue in Belconnen. I have some further information to provide to the Assembly in relation to that matter.
A temporary traffic management plan for the closure of Cameron Avenue, adjacent to section 200 Belconnen, was required to deliver a considerable amount of off-site and upgrade works to Cameron Avenue, such as on-road cycling and footpath upgrades. The temporary traffic management plan was authorised by TCCS on 28 April, with a standard condition which stated that the principal contractor shall ensure that all directly affected businesses, residents and government agencies have been advised in writing regarding these works and the traffic management arrangements which will be required, including associated road closures. This letter shall include the principal contractor’s details as a point of contact for any inquiries in relation to this project.
TCCS cannot be certain whether Geocon undertook the consultation as required. TCCS was then made aware by Geocon that the temporary traffic management plan had been implemented without the necessary development application approvals, at which point TCCS requested that the temporary traffic management plan be removed. The TTM was removed over the subsequent days.
Answer to question on notice
Question No 2899
MRS DUNNE: In accordance with standing order 118A, I would like an explanation from the Minister for Mental Health as to the lateness of a reply to question on notice 2899—the 30 days expired on 15 March—which relates to an agreed territory-wide model of mental health care.
MR RATTENBURY: I will need to provide a detailed explanation to Mrs Dunne. That has not come across my desk, that I am aware of, and I will need to find out why that answer has not come forth at this point in time. I apologise to Mrs Dunne for its lateness and I will endeavour to get her an answer as quickly as possible.
