DEPARTMENTAL EXPENDITURE

253 The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (7 July 2011) (First Session). Can the Premier advise the actual level for 2010-11 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 Premier?

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 have been advised of the following:

Agencies reporting to the premier reported the following levels of capital and recurrent budget expenditure variations for 2010-11:

$4.040 million lower than budget recurrent expenditure for the Department of the Premier and Cabinet. This variation mainly reflects lower than budgeted employee costs due to vacancies and lower than budgeted leave accruals. Other contributors to the variation are approved carryovers from 2010-11 into future years related to the Renewable Energy Fund, Carnegie Mellon University and the East Timor program.

$5.260 million lower than budget recurrent expenditure for the Department of the Premier and Cabinet Administered Items. This variation mainly reflects changes in the timing of the construction of police stations and staff accommodation on the APY lands and various other joint Commonwealth and state funded initiatives associated with remote Aboriginal communities and a net benefit from a lower than expected government workers rehabilitation compensation liability at 30 June 2011.

$0.116 million higher than budget recurrent expenditure for the State Governor's establishment. This variation mainly reflects expenditure funded by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet's sustainability program associated with the Glenelg to Adelaide Parklands Recycled Water Project.

$14.755 million lower than budget capital payments for the Department of the Premier and Cabinet. This variation mainly reflects payment timing variations associated with the Adelaide Studios initiative.

$4.5 million lower than budget capital expenditure for the Department of the Premier and Cabinet Administered Items. This variation reflects changes in the timing of the construction of the court and administration centre on the APY lands.

$0.03 million lower than budget capital payments for the State Governor's establishment reflecting a minor variation in the annual capital program.
