As part of the ACT Government’s commitment to community engagement, the Economic Development Directorate engages with the Canberra community on a variety of issues that reflects the diversity of the Directorate’s operations. Topics of engagement vary from land release, to sporting events and facilities, celebrations of Canberra’s seasons and unique tourist attractions.
Community engagement by the Directorate happens at four levels:
ᇟ inform the community of current events happening in and around Canberra;
ᇟ seek information and input from the community where the day-to-day lives of Canberrans may be affected by proposed development;
ᇟ involve the community, as part of a Project Working Group; or
ᇟ to form a partnership to specifically address a particular issue.
The levels, type and lengths of engagement are reliant upon the project. The Directorate also works closely with the other eight Government directorates to coordinate and manage its portfolio responsibilities to ensure that the Canberra community has access to the best service and facilities available.
Some highlights of community engagement activity during the year are detailed below.
Civic Revitalisation
Works being done under the Civic Revitalisation program are outlined in the Civic Area Action Plan released in October 2010. The total program consists of thirteen capital works projects to be completed for the start of Canberra’s 2013 Centenary. Stakeholder consultation occurred during the design phase, at the start of construction and as required during the construction process.
Capital Works Coordination
Major projects along Cotter Road and the new John Gorton Drive in Molonglo were the subject of public consultation, involving a presentation to the Weston Creek Community Council, and a letterbox drop to the residents of Weston by Australia Post. Prompt responses to 38 enquiries from 29 members of the public were provided during the construction of Clarrie Hermes Drive, Casey.
Manuka Oval Broadcast Lighting
Since the announcement of federal funding for the installation of broadcast quality lighting at Manuka Oval on 28 April 2012, an extensive program of community consultation has been undertaken with the various resident groups of South Canberra. In parallel a Development Control Plan has been lodged with the National Capital Authority (NCA) which sought comment from the public and a Development Application (DA) was lodged with the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate (ESDD), again seeking comment from the public and other Government agencies.
Small Clubs Redevelopment
The Directorate engaged with ClubsACT and a sample of small clubs in relation to the design of the Small Club Site Redevelopment Support Scheme. Meetings were held with ClubsACT, the Canberra Irish Club, and the Murrumbidgee Country Club. Ongoing consultation is being undertaken to implement other initiatives announced as part of the Affordable Housing Action Plan Phase III. This consultation is being complemented by industry briefings and information sessions.

Hawker Group Centre Draft Master Plan
The draft Hawker Group Centre Master Plan was developed during a lengthy process led by a Project Reference Group (PRG) comprising representatives of local businesses and local community groups including the Belconnen Community Council (BCC), the Council on the Ageing, and the Friends of Hawker Village (FOHV) as well as the ACT Government Architect.
The PRG sought to establish key planning principles to guide the future development of the Centre over a twenty year period. The draft Master Plan was released for public comment on 3 December 2011, closing on 31 January 2012. Eight community drop-in information sessions were held from 3 December to 10 December 2011 in the Hawker Group Centre. There were 274 submissions received. Twenty one PRG meetings were held. The PRG received specialist retail, traffic, parking, planning, and urban design advice and participated in a number of activities including a one-day planning workshop.
Newsletters were distributed to households in the suburbs of Hawker, Scullin, Weetangera, Page and Higgins on five occasions to ensure the community was kept up-to-date on the process.
A new style of Community Engagement took place for the redesign of the Downer local presinct. The community engagement, known as ‘charette’ (enquiry by design) actively engaged Downer residents in the project.
The process highlighted the collaboration between the Community and the Government by providing a range of consultation opportunities.
A New Take on Consultation
A meeting was held on 14 December 2011, where 70 community members were presented with the opportunities and of the project. Workshops with 55 community members gave individuals and opportunity to participate in group discussions and provide feedback on the proposal. Feedback was used by the designer in the development of three draft design plans.
Members of the community were then invited to provide online feedback on their preferred draft design and this feedback was incorporated into the final design.
Final design concept as presented to the Downer community on 27 June 2012.

Report No. Title Date Presented
Standing Committee on Public Accounts - Review of Auditor-General’s Report No.6 of 2009 – Government Office Accommodation
Interim Report tabled February 2011.
Government Response: The Government response to the Interim report was tabled on 16 August 2011.
Recommendation Government Response Directorate Implementation
Recommendation 1
The Committee recommends that the ACT Government make no final decision with regard to the whole-of-government office building project until the Standing Committee on Public Accounts has received a copy of the business case, and the economic and environmental analysis, together with any other relevant considerations, and had time to consider this information and report to the ACT Legislative Assembly.
Not Agreed
A decision to proceed with the Government Office Building project was made in the 2011-12 Budget.
The information supporting the business case has been made available publicly. A special briefing on the project was provided to the Select Committee on Estimates 2011-12 at which all members of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts were present. Information provided at this briefing included economic, budget impact analysis and environmental analysis.
Refer to statement below 1
1 On 20 September 2011, the Committee Chair made a Statement pursuant to Standing Order 246A relating to the Committee’s inquiry into Auditor-General’s Report No.6 of 2009: Government Office Accommodation. Following an Assembly motion on 24 August 2011 and the Government’s announcement to market test the delivery of new office accommodation in Gungahlin and Civic the Committee resolved no further inquiry was warranted however, the Committee would continue to monitor.
The statement is available at: www.parliament.act.gov.au/downloads/reports/246A-Statement.pdf

Recommendation Government Response Directorate Implementation
Recommendation 2
The Committee recommends that the ACT Government provide the Standing Committee on Public Accounts with an assessment of the opportunity cost of a whole-of-government office building project against other significant infrastructure projects, such as the Majura Parkway, a light rail network, a new convention centre, or a third major hospital.
Not Agreed
A decision to proceed with the Government Office Building project was made in the 2011-12 Budget. In making this decision, the Government assessed projects against other relative priorities and its capacity to fund the project. This process, by its very nature, assesses the opportunity cost of proceeding with the building. The Budget Impact analysis provided to the Select Committee on Estimates includes the cost of capital.
The Economic Development Directorate (formerly the Department of Land and Property Services) sought specific independent economic advice about the impact of the proposed building on the Territory’s capacity to fund other capital works. Advice received from the Directorate’s advisors, and supported by a leading credit rating agency, indicates that other capital works projects would not be constrained and the Territory’s credit rating would not be adversely affected.
The reasoning underpinning this advice is that completion of the building results in an asset that is expected to exceed the development cost. Therefore, it should improve the Territory’s balance sheet, other things being equal.
Refer to statement below 1
Recommendation 3
The Committee recommends that the ACT Government whole-of-government office accommodation strategy should be finalised, and considered by the ACT Legislative Assembly, prior to any final decision, or awarding of any contract, with regard to the whole-of-government office building project.
Not Agreed
The future office accommodation strategy is now influenced by the Government’s decision to proceed with the new ACT Government Office Building. The new government office will see significant consolidation of current office accommodation and changes to planned office refits/refurbishments. The office accommodation strategy will now be revised in line with this decision.

24 Standing Committee on Public Accounts Inquiry into the Gaming Machine Amendment Bill 2011
7 June 2012
Government Response: As at 30 June 2012, the Government response was yet to be finalised
Directorate Implementation: Nil – as report is yet to be finalised
Recommendation
Recommendation 1
The Committee recommends that the ACT Government should consider introducing an interim electronic gaming machine trading scheme for period of up to two years.
Recommendation 2
The Committee recommends that, within the first year of the operation of the interim electronic gaming machine trading scheme, the ACT Government should establish a gaming machine management system that includes the following principles – to allow for gaming machines to be: transferred between clubs; relocated within club groups; and transferred and traded between existing clubs, and/or new clubs which are not necessarily part of a club group.
Recommendation 3
The Committee recommends that in tandem with the introduction of an interim electronic gaming machine trading scheme that a relocation scheme for multi-venue clubs be introduced.
Recommendation 4
The Committee recommends that the ACT Government comprehensively evaluate the interim electronic gaming machine trading scheme after 12 months of operation.
Recommendation 5
The Committee recommends that the electronic gaming machine relocation scheme should set a threshold of a specified number of machines that require regulatory approval.
Recommendation 6
The Committee recommends that the ACT Government should commence, as a matter of priority, a review of the existing electronic gaming machine cap. The review should commence immediately and a progress report be provided to the ACT Legislative Assembly by the second sitting Tuesday in August 2012.
Recommendation 7
The Committee recommends that amendment number 12 be deleted from the Gaming Machine Amendment Bill 2011 and not be reconsidered until such time as a review of the existing electronic gaming machine cap has been completed and reported to the ACT Legislative Assembly.
Recommendation 8
The Committee recommends that where entities operating a small number of gaming machines can substantiate a case that the $250 ATM will adversely affect other aspects of their business, they should be able to apply to the ACT Gambling and Racing Commission for an exemption.

B
187
Recommendation 9
The Committee recommends that the Gaming Machine Act 2004 be amended to allow for an exemption to the $250 ATM withdrawal limit under approval by the ACT Gambling and Racing Commission.
Recommendation 10
The Committee recommends that the introduction of the $250 ATM withdrawal limit be aligned with the start time of the Commonwealth legislation as it relates to the withdrawal limit on ATM machines in gaming premises.
Recommendation 11
The Committee recommends that the ACT Government should implement programs to address the root cause of problem gambling.
Recommendation 12
The Committee recommends that the ACT Gambling and Racing Commission should amend the ACT Gambling Code of Practice to detail that the practice of reserving gaming machines should be regulated.
Recommendation 13
The Committee recommends that the online exclusion database be in operation by 31 December 2012.
Recommendation 14
The Committee recommends that the ACT Government take into account the findings and recommendations of the ACT Auditor-General as detailed in Auditor-General‘s Report No. 1 Monitoring and minimising harm caused by problem gambling, as part of any proposed amendments to the Gaming Machine Act 2004.
Recommendation 15
The Committee recommends that the Minister for Gaming and Racing make a statement to the ACT Legislative Assembly by the first sitting week in August 2012 detailing:
i. what outcomes were achieved over the ACT Government’s ten year agreement with the Australian National University’s Centre for Gambling Research;
ii. the terms of the new agreement; and
iii. the status on the research chair of gambling studies position.
Recommendation 16
The Committee recommends that the ACT Government should progress a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ClubsACT that mutually agrees on parameters for reform to the club sector in the ACT. Amongst other things, the parameters of such an understanding should include:
i. maintaining the role and contribution of clubs in the ACT community;
ii. supporting the economic viability of the sector; and
iii. outlining measures and strategies that continue to work towards addressing problem gambling and minimising harm caused by problem gambling.
Recommendation 17
The Committee recommends that the Gaming Machine Amendment Bill 2011 should only be supported by the ACT Legislative Assembly subject to the recommendations as detailed in the ACT Standing Committee on Public Accounts’ report inquiring into the Bill.
