Police Asset Maintenance

In reply to Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (27 July 2015). (Estimates Committee B)

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 budget for the asset maintenance annual provision increased as a result of approved adjustments during the year. One adjustment was the transfer of $4.4 million from the supplies and services line to the investing line. There was no financial impact to South Australia Police (SAPOL). The adjustment was a transfer between SAPOL's operating and investing budgets rather than a 'budget blowout' in asset maintenance.
