Environment Minister Eyes Action Post Stockholm Talks
The Minister for the Environment Aborigines and the Arts Mr Howson said Australia could find effective ways to tackle current and future environmental problems. He spoke in Sydney after leading the Australian delegation to the United Nations conference on the human environment in Stockholm from June 5 to 16. The Australian Environment Council meeting date was brought forward to August 20 to consider Stockholm outcomes and other countries’ responses. Australia had long sought membership on the Stockholm preparatory committee but gained a later, larger role after pushing for wider council membership to 54 nations.

The Master Builders Association ACT says residential land supply has never been adequate since late 1950s developments. President A C Williams reports to the annual meeting that without a larger block reserve, builders will bid up land and prices will rise. The association pushed views to the ACT Advisory Council NCDC and the Department of the Interior and backs longer funding for the NCDC three-year plan. Williams was re elected president with J J Clews and L J Blood as senior and junior vice presidents.
