Investing Expenditure Projects

1404 The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light) (24 September 2019). With reference to the investing expenditure summary in the table found in 2019-20 Budget Paper No. 4, Vol. 3, p. 141, can you explain why the 2018-19 budgeted figure of $11.926 million for planning reform implementation was not invested in full, and why the estimated result for that year was almost $2 million short of this figure, at $7.941 million?

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning): I have been advised the following:

The variance between the 2018-19 budget and 2018-19 estimated result should equate to $3.985 million.

During 2018-19, the budget of $4.4 million for the planning reform implementation was reprofiled across the forward estimates in response to the approval of a three phase deployment strategy for the new system (Phase 1—Outback Areas, Phase 2—Rural Areas and Phase 3—Urban Areas). Further, $0.9 million of unused funds from 2017-18 was carried over into 2018-19 and a budget of $0.5 million was reclassified to operating. This funding was to support a more extensive program of community engagement and change management compared to what was initially expected.
