A Message from the TCC President – February 2010
February 24th, 2010

The issue of random roadside drug testing in the ACT will be further considered at the next meeting of the Tuggeranong Community Council on Tuesday 2 March. While drink driving remains a major factor in road accidents in Australia, drug driving is also a cause for concern, particularly in the ACT. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime Australia rates first place in the world for abuse of MDMA (Ecstasy) out of 99 countries, 2nd place for abuse of Amphetamines and 10th place for abuse of Cannabis. Meanwhile, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, the ACT ranks number one in Australia for abuse of Ecstasy, 3rd for abuse of Amphetamines and 4th place for abuse of Cannabis. Not only are Council members concerned about drug abuse in the ACT, they are also concerned that people are driving on our roads while under the influence of these illegal drugs.

Have your say on Canberra’s energy future
February 3rd, 2010
No comments
The ACT Government has recently launched two major discussion papers in the energy sector – the proposal to expand the electricity Feed-In Tariff Scheme and the Draft Sustainable Energy Policy 2010-2020.
The Feed-In Tariff discussion paper deals with a possible expansion to include installations beyond the existing capacity limit of 30kW. The draft energy policy sets out a proposed framework for reducing the ACT’s reliance on fossil-fuel powered electricity while making Canberra’s energy supply more secure and sustainable.
You are invited to attend the public information sessions to be held on
Tuesday 9 February, 7:00pm
at the Canberra Southern Cross Club,
92-96 Corinna Street, Woden
or
Tuesday 16 February, 7:00pm
at the Belconnen Premier Inn,
110 Benjamin Way Belconnen
The ACT Government welcomes community views on these two important topics that will shape Canberra’s energy sector future.
Light refreshments will be served.
RSVP: environment@act.gov.au or contact Mayumi Smith on 6207 2464.
