The ACT Government has released the fourth and final report on the Parliamentary and Governing Agreement (PAGA) for the 10th Legislative Assembly, highlighting commitments delivered across the parliamentary term.
Major achievements over the past four years include:
- Nation-leading action on climate change as we transition to an all-electric city and phase out fossil fuel gas, working towards a net-zero-emissions future.
- Modernising transport in Canberra with nation-leading uptake of electric vehicles and progress toward the next stage of light rail through the city to Commonwealth Park
- A new Territory Plan that will unlock more and better housing options including public housing
- Establishing universal access to early learning for three-year-old children
- Raising the minimum age of criminal responsibility to divert Canberra’s children away from harm, toward the support they need to be part of a safer and more connected community
The PAGA was signed by all ACT Labor and ACT Greens MLAs, summarising the shared priorities and commitments of the two parties for the parliamentary term.
This fourth and final PAGA report includes the addition of delivery statements, outlining how each initiative has been, or is being, delivered.
The report is available on the ACT Government’s Cabinet and Assembly website:
As stated by ACT Greens leader Shane Rattenbury:
The final update on the Parliamentary and Governing Agreement demonstrates how the ACT Government has continued to address major social, economic, and environmental challenges.
We have built on our previous achievement of reaching 100 per cent renewable electricity by taking the next steps to reduce greenhouse emissions as we work towards a net-zero-emissions future, including transitioning away from gas to electricity.
Throughout this parliamentary term we have worked hard to make a real difference to the lives of Canberrans and ensure Canberra continues to be a happy, healthy and connected community.
