ROAD SAFETY

311 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (21 October 2008). Why was there a $1.240 million overspend on the 'Road Safety—Reaching the Target' program?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Energy): The Minister for Road Safety has provided the following information:

I refer to page 6.22 of the 2008-09 Portfolio Statement Budget Paper 4 Volume 2, showing a 2007-08 Original Budget of $1,904,000 and a 2007-08 Estimated Result of $3,144,000 for the 'Road Safety—Reaching the Target' project. The variation of $1,204,000 was as a result of bringing forward the expenditure from the 2008-09 financial year to complete more safety camera installations in 2007-08.
