Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The minister
has advised that, since his appointment as Minister for Local Government, he
has engaged extensively with local governments and local government
professionals. This has occurred through visits to local governments,
attendance at regional council meetings, attendance at zone meetings,
attendance at conferences, attendance at events and launches, meetings and
telephone conversations. A list of visits and meetings with local governments
in the current term of government is provided. I table the attached
information.
[See paper 3263.]
(2) It is the minister's
intention to continue his active engagement with local government.
