However, work is yet to begin on seven of the reforms, which include contentious commitment such as a further reduction in gaming machines in the territory and introducing the right to a health environment into human rights law.
The Labor-Greens government has delivered 11 of its agreed commitments, including land tax exemptions for affordable housing, extra homelessness support services and transparency rules for electricity bills.
But no work has begun on a commitment to target a reduction in gaming machines to 3500 by July 1, 2025 and ensuring ACT laws can identify and respond to modern day slavery.
Meanwhile, work is under way on 84 of the reforms in the power-sharing agreement in the 10th Legislative Assembly.
ACT Chief Minister and Labor leader Andrew Barr said the government had begun many of its investments and commitments despite the interruption of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"With a federal election fast approaching and continued global uncertainty, Canberrans will be looking for stable and effective government at the territory level to continue driving our economic recovery. This will be our priority over the coming years," Mr Barr said.
Attorney-General and Greens leader Shane Rattenbury said the update to the agreement showed the two parties were effectively working together, and the progress report was an important accountability measure to keep the government on track.
"In this two-party government of the ACT Greens and ACT Labor, we are committed to delivering the commitments of the agreement, which is what the ACT community elected us to do," Mr Rattenbury said.
The power-sharing agreement, which was signed by all Labor and Greens members after the October 2020 election, includes 102 agreed policy reforms.

Areas covered by the agreement include climate action, planning reform, the second stage of light rail, and executive and administrative reform.
The agreement, which was signed in November 2020 after two weeks of post-election negotiation, guarantees the Greens' support for Mr Barr as Chief Minister and supply bills.
"MLAs from both parties recognise their important role as constructive members of a governing partnership," the agreement says.
Mr Barr said at the time the agreement was signed that it would be different to previous agreements, 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.
One in five of the proposals in the Labor-Greens power-sharing agreement in the previous term went undelivered.
