Andrew Barr says Labor-Greens alliance face the most difficult period to govern in ACT's history

ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said his government was focusing on keeping the Canberra economy strong in the midst of an ongoing pandemic.

Mr Barr's government will deliver the first of two budgets on February 9 - the 98^th day since the government formed in November following October's election.

He added this year will be a continuation of the last - one that's challenging and volatile.

"More broadly speaking, 2021 will be much like 2020," Mr Barr said.

"We are managing an ongoing public health and climate emergency, elevated levels of risk and uncertainty, frequently changing economic circumstances and a highly-volatile global trading and political environment."

But Mr Barr said he believes the experience of the two-party government will be up for the challenging road ahead.

"This is the most difficult period to govern in the history of territory self-government. As a two-party alliance government, we will bring our collective experience to this challenging task," he said.

The 100-day mark was also noted by the Canberra Liberals, with Opposition Whip Jeremy Hanson criticising the Barr government for breaking promises during the three months since it first formed.

Mr Hanson said Mr Barr had failed Canberrans with 60,000 hit with rates increases, more delays to local hospital upgrades as well as hospital capacity issues.

"Canberrans were promised a brave new world under this new Labor-Greens Government, instead we have more broken promises, more rate increases, more health and education failures, more budget blowouts and a Government that struggles to cut the grass and collect the bins," Mr Hanson said.

"If the first 100 days is anything to go by, the next four years are going to leave even more Canberrans behind, despite record-high tax revenue."
