Strathmont Centre

91 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (12 August 2014). (First Session) In reference to the Capital Investment Statement, page 66—What are the reasons for the $2.9 million lower estimated result for the Strathmont Centre transition arrangements?

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 $2.9 million lower estimated result for the Strathmont Centre transition directly relates to the longer than expected time required to locate and purchase land and construct suitable properties. Capital expenditure was therefore lower than anticipated for the 2013-14 financial year. Consequently, approval was granted for unspent capital funding to be carried over to the 2014-15 financial year.
