Road Safety

In reply to the Hon. V.A. TARZIA (Hartley—Leader of the Opposition) (25 June 2024). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. D.R. CREGAN (Kavel—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Special Minister of State): I have been advised:

The net cost of services in 2023-24 for road safety is estimated to be $1million more than budgeted primarily due to:

The decrease in income in the 2023-24 estimated result compared to the 2023-24 budget is primarily due to a decrease in donated road safety assets in 2023-24. This is reflected in the 'Resources received free of charge' line in the program summary.

The net cost of services in 2024-25 for road safety is $12.8million more than estimated for 2023-24 primarily due to:

additional expenditure associated with road safety initiatives including enhanced enforcement—speed and red light cameras

mobile workforce transformation program

digital police station

increased multipurpose load bearing vests expenditure in 2024-25.

Partially offset by:

A decrease in income in the 2024-25 budget compared to the 2023-24 estimated result due to the recognition of donated road safety assets in 2023-24.
