What services do you believe are most important for the Territory? Environment, Education, Healthcare, Transport
How can the Government deliver current services more efficiently or in ways that better meet the needs of our community?Delivery of minor path repairs work seems fragmented and ad hoc. Works should be aggregated better and all issues in an area addressed at one time. In Kambah we had grinding carried out to remove trip hazards and then shortly after a footpath contractor, but we still have lots of broken and cracked paths to be fixed! Stop the erection of school fencing. These are community assets and they are being fenced off from the community. Things like playgrounds and tennis courts should be available to the community also. Install better cctv/security if vandalism is an issue.
Are there particular services that you think the Government should stop delivering or should deliver in a different way?Providing laptops to schoolkids should stop - people don't appreciate something that's given for free. Look at the phones that kids are using and you can see that parents are buying their kids expensive phones anyway. They can mostly afford the new laptops too. Just provide to those who can't afford them or charge those who can afford them.
What new ideas, services or programs should the Government consider to meet emerging or evolving community needs?More community gardens, play space, seating, shade trees, fitness areas etc - all co-located. Bring them to the suburbs, maybe near the local shops - not just around lakes or in town centres.
