DEPARTMENTAL EXPENDITURE

124 The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (29 November 2012). Can the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries advise—

What was the actual level for 2011-12 of both capital and recurrent expenditure underspending (or overspending) for all departments and agencies (which are. classified in the general government sector) then reporting to the minister?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for State/Local Government Relations): I am advised:

The 2011-12 actual recurrent expenditure for the Department of Primary Industries and Regions SA (PIRSA) was $8.1 million lower than budget. This was primarily as a result of lower demand for Exceptional Circumstances drought relief grant payments, lower demand for partnered research activities, and the timing of expenditure of major regional grant programs.

The 2011-12 actual recurrent income was also $8.1 million lower than budget.

The 2011-12 actual capital expenditure for PIRSA was $1.4 million lower than budget. This was largely due to timing in the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure System (NCRIS) project.
