Labor and the Greens have inked their power-sharing deal for the next ACT Legislative Assembly.
The Greens will also have three members in cabinet.
The parties say the parliamentary and governing agreement will focus on sustainable economic development, closing the gap for First Nations people, providing more affordable housing and a rapid transition to zero net emissions.
Chief Minister Andrew Barr and ACT Greens leader Shane Rattenbury have hammered out discussions over the past two weeks since the October 17 election.
Mr Barr said the agreement would be different to previous years, and that was evident in the title as this time it would be a parliamentary and governing agreement.
He said there had been "good robust discussion" and there had also been compromise on both sides. Mr Barr said the agreement would include more affordable housing in the territory, climate strategy and more money for homelessness.
"The parliamentary and governing agreement is a positive reflection of the shared values of both parties, and outlines the progressive platform we will deliver in the 10th ACT Legislative Assembly," Mr Barr said.
"Over the previous two terms of government, ACT Labor and the ACT Greens have demonstrated a capacity to work together to deliver stable government. There is clear support in the community for this model, and both parties remain committed to it."
Mr Rattenbury said the agreement outlined a "positive and important agenda".
"At a time of climate crisis, we know that the decisions we make today will have significant consequences for future generations of Canberrans," he said.
"We are especially pleased that climate action, housing, reform to the planning system, and reducing harm from gaming feature strongly in this power-sharing agreement."
More to come.
