40. Explanatory statement

The Summary of Consolidated Fund Appropriations and Revenue Estimates discloses appropriations and other statutes expenditure estimates, the actual expenditures made and revenue estimates and payments into the Consolidated Fund. Appropriations are on an accrual basis.

The following explanations are provided in accordance with Treasurer’s Instruction 945. Explanations are only provided where variations exceed $1,000,000 and 10 per cent of the reported item.

(i) Significant variations between estimate and actual - Total appropriation to purchase outputs

(i) a. Supplementary Funding

Supplementary funding for the year totalling $1.646m was approved under Section 28 of the Financial Administration and Audit Act (FAAA) for additional projects and activities and to cover funding shortfalls. Supplementary funds were obtained for the following:

  $ 000
Shortfall in contributions from the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC). A 2002-03 Functional Review decision to decrease output funding to the Department and increase WAPC contributions did not eventuate in extra revenue from the WAPC. 1,500
Miscellaneous projects and activities. 146
Total Additional Funding for Purchase of Outputs 1,646
(i) b. Section 25 Transfers

  $ 000
The Public Transport Services Division of the Department was transferred to the Public Transport Authority (PTA) on 1 July 2003. A transfer under Section 25(1) of the FAAA was initiated by PTA to transfer output appropriation funding. (294,293)
A Section 25(1) transfer was also executed to transfer to PTA the Capital Contribution approved for the Department’s Public Transport Services Division. (20,459)
Section 25(1) transfer of funds to the Public Transport Authority (314,752)
   
The Land Administration Services function was transferred from the Department of Land Information (DLI) to the Department on 1 July 2003. A transfer under Section 25(1) of the FAAA was initiated by the Department to transfer the output appropriation funding. 11,368
Capital Contribution from DLI was also transferred to the Department under Section 25(1) of the FAAA. 108
Section 25(1) Transfer of Funds from the Department of Land Information 11,476

A portion of the Marine Safety function of the Department was transferred to the Department of Fisheries on 1 July 2003. A Section 25(1) transfer of funds was executed accordingly.
(1,996)
The Land Valuation Tribunal was to transfer to the State Administrative Tribunal under the Department of Justice (DOJ) from 1 January 2004. Funding was transferred from the Department to DOJ but the transfer of function was deferred to 1 July 2004. A Section 25(1) transfer was initiated by DOJ to return to the Department the full 2003-04 funding for the function. 184
Grand Total Section 25(1) Transfers (305,088)

In addition to the Supplementary Funds and Section 25(1) transfers affecting the Department’s output appropriations in 2003-04, there was a reduction of $1m in accrual appropriation funding to the Department. This reduction was to remove funding of depreciation for the Transport Executive Licensing Information System (TRELIS) project due to the deferral of commissioning to July 2004.

The net total of Section 25(1) Transfers ($305.088m), Supplementary Funds ($1.6460m) and the reduction to accrual appropriation ($1.000m) transferred/received by the Department in 2003-04 was $304.442m. This net transfer of funds is the reason for the variance in Grand Total of Appropriations.
