-
In relation to the governments publication Engaging Canberrans – A guide to community engagement (2011) what is the government doing to ensure all directorates act in accordance with what is put forward in the publication and what is being done to ensure all directorates understand and are trained in effective best practice community consultation methods and what evaluation plan is in place to measure the use of the guide and effectiveness of community engagements across directorates?
-

What is the government doing to ensure that all Canberra residents have easily accessible open urban space within close proximity to where they live?

Redevelopment of Section 72 (east of the Dickson swimming pool)
