PREMIER'S CLIMATE CHANGE COUNCIL

111 Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite—Leader of the Opposition) (30 September 2008). How many times did the Premier's Climate Change Council meet in 2007-08 and what outcomes have been achieved?

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change): I have been advised of the following:

Division 2 of the Climate Change and Greenhouse Emissions Reduction Act 2007 established the council. In 2008 Mr David Klingberg AO was appointed as chair.

Section 13 of the Act requires the Council to provide to me, as Minister responsible for the Act, on or before October 31st, a report on its activities for the financial year ending on the preceding 30 June. I then have six sitting days to table the report in parliament.

During the 2007-08 reporting period, the Council held an introductory session on 1 February and the officially met twice in 2008. A number of sub-groups were formed that also met several times prior to the end of the 2007-08 financial year. The Council's annual report was tabled in both houses of parliament in accordance with the Act. The report can be accessed at http://www.climatechange.sa.gov.au/uploads/pdf/PCCC Annual Report 07-08.pdf.
