Hon STUART NASH (Minister for Economic and Regional Development): The Government has a clear commitment to show leadership on climate change, and part of this involves a transition to a carbon-neutral Public Service. Government agencies, quite rightly, need to play their part and lead by example and influence the private sector and NGOs. Alongside the Minister for Building and Construction, I have announced a new procurement guide for public agencies. It is designed to offer practical guidance to the public sector, to private sector suppliers, and construction and industry reps to make the right decisions, and to build a good understanding about the best way to approach tenders for public projects. I've long been a champion of greater use of low-carbon materials like timber in building and construction projects and we want that embedded in decision making and design thinking across the wider public sector.
