Mr Tanner
asked the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, upon notice, on 20 August 1996:
(1) Has the Australian Transport Council requested that he undertake an analysis of the market for the use of transport by the disabled and the potential cost of implementing relevant standards; if so, (a) has the analysis commenced and (b) who is conducting it.
(2) If the analysis has not commenced, (a) when will it commence and (b) who will conduct it.
(3) When is a report expected.
(4) What departmental and other resources are being used in association with the analysis.
(5) Have consultants been engaged, or will they be engaged, to conduct the analysis; if so, what process was followed, or is being followed, to determine who conducts the analysis.
(6) What is the estimated cost of the analysis.
Mr Williams
—The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:
(1) Yes.
(a) analysis of the market for the use of transport by the disabled and the potential cost of implementing relevant standards is at a preliminary stage;
(b) this task will be conducted by the Attorney-General's Department.
(2) Not relevant.
(3) The Attorney-General's Department is currently involved in preparing a Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) in relation to the implementation of the draft disability standards as requested by the Council of Australian Governments. The RIS is expected to be drafted by early 1997. After a round of consultations on the draft document the RIS is expected to be completed by April 1997.
(4) The task is primarily being undertaken by the Disability Discrimination Unit in the Attorney-General's Department. In addition it is expected that representatives from the disability community, industry and government will be involved in the process.
(5) A consultant will be engaged to conduct the analysis. The consultant will report to a small Steering Committee, to be composed of representatives from the disability community, the public transport industry and government. The consultant will be chosen through a tender process.
(6) It would be inappropriate at this stage to reveal the estimated cost of the analysis for commercial in confidence reasons as we have not concluded the tender process. The amount will be notified once the Department has awarded the tender to the successful applicant.
