Highgate Park

69 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (12 August 2014). What are the expenditure details for the $134,000 budgeted for Highgate Park sustainment for 2013-14 and why was the actual result for 2012-13 lower at $102,000?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety): I have been advised:

The Highgate Park sustainment budget, outlined in the Investing Expenditure Summary, funded the following unavoidable sustainment works at Highgate Park:

replacing carpet;

new dishwasher;

new boiler;

improved plant room ventilation in the basement; and

retaining wall repairs.

The variation in expenditure partly relates to the dates invoices were paid for the projects, with some works being commenced in 2012-13 but not completed and paid for until 2013-14.

The lower expenditure result for the 2012-13 period was also related to the needs of the site with fewer unavoidable sustainment works being required in the given time frame.
