Notices

notice MR COE: To move—That this Assembly:

(1) notes the recent decision of the ACT Heritage Council to provisionally register 17 properties along Northbourne Avenue and surrounds on the ACT Heritage Register;

(2) further notes that this decision affects the cost-benefit analysis for light rail in that:

(b) patronage forecasts will be lower due to less development on Northbourne Avenue;

(c) the reduction in patronage will result in less fare revenue and reduced time savings; and

(d) the agglomeration benefits and other wider economic impacts will be reduced due to less residential density and fewer opportunities on Northbourne Avenue for commercial and retail uses; and

(3) calls on the ACT Government to revise the Capital Metro cost-benefit analysis to account for the heritage listing. (Notice given 15 September 2015. Notice will be removed from the Notice Paper unless called on within 5 sitting weeks—standing order 125A).

Notices

(a) the current advertisements for military armaments production companies at the Canberra Airport are offensive to many Canberrans and visitors to our city;

(b) up to 500 000 people are killed each year around the world by conflict or armed violence, which is nearly 1400 people per day;

(c) each year there are around 15-20 million people who have fled their home due to armed conflict;

(d) these advertisements help to normalise warfare and big military spending and present a sanitised image of what weapons do;

(e) these advertisements are inappropriate for refugees and others from war-torn countries and inconsistent with Canberra’s new status as a Refugee Welcome Zone; and

(f) this arms manufacturing advertising does not represent the ACT community and does not reflect the image we want visitors to Canberra to see; and

(2) calls on:

(a) the Speaker to write to the Canberra Airport to raise community concerns about the arms and weapons manufacturing advertisements and to request they choose advertisements more welcoming and representative of Canberra in their place; and

(b) the Government to place more appropriate ACT Government advertisements at the Canberra Airport for tourists such as ACT tourism events with CBR branding to replace the weapons advertising. (Notice given 24 September 2015. Notice will be removed from the Notice Paper unless called on within 7 sitting weeks—standing order 125A).

(b) that ActewAGL Distribution has proposed an investment of $115.7m in capital expenditure for the period 2016-2021 which is 27.5% higher than the actual expenditure in the 2010-2015 period;

(c) that the largest component of this capital expenditure forecast is market expansion which ActewAGL has submitted is an increase of 46% over the 2010-2015 period;

(d) that this capital expenditure will be recaptured from ACT gas consumers;

(e) that public submissions to the AER have raised concerns that projections for market expansion of gas in the ACT require review due to the likelihood of medium density developers not to install gas, the increased efficiency of electric heating technologies and the move towards renewable energy in the ACT;

(f) a 2014 research study undertaken by the Alternative Technology Association and reviewed by the COAG Energy Council indicated that “it is no longer economic for any new home, or existing all-electric home, located anywhere in the ACT to connect to mains or bottled gas – as compared with installing and operating efficient electric appliance alternatives”;

(g) predicted gas price rises in the medium to long-term could leave some gas consumers disadvantaged;

(h) battery technology for residential properties will soon be cost effective and will impact negatively on the cost effectiveness of gas for home heating;

(i) that the ACT Government has greenhouse gas emission reduction targets of 40% reduction of 1990 emission levels by 2020, 80% reduction of 1990 emission levels by 2050 and zero net greenhouse gas emissions by 2060; and

(j) that the ACT Government has not made a submission to the AER in regards to the gas distribution determination; and

(2) calls on the ACT Government to:

No. 120—17 November 2015 1489
