PORTFOLIO BUDGET STATEMENTS

USER GUIDE
The purpose of the 2016-17 Portfolio Budget Statements (PB Statements) is to inform
Senators and Members of Parliament of the proposed allocation of resources to
government outcomes by entities within the portfolio. Entities receive resources from
the annual appropriation acts, special appropriations (including standing
appropriations and special accounts), and revenue from other sources.
A key role of the PB Statements is to facilitate the understanding of proposed annual
appropriations in Appropriation Bills (No. 1 and No. 2) 2016-17 (or Appropriation
(Parliamentary Departments) Bill (No. 1) 2016-17 for the parliamentary departments).
In this sense the PB Statements are Budget related papers and are declared by the
Appropriation Acts to be ‘relevant documents’ to the interpretation of the Acts
according to section 15AB of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.
The PB Statements provide information, explanation and justification to enable
Parliament to understand the purpose of each outcome proposed in the Bills.
As required under section 12 of the Charter of Budget Honesty Act 1998, only entities
within the general government sector are included as part of the Commonwealth
general government sector fiscal estimates and produce PB Statements where they
receive funding (either directly or via portfolio departments) through the annual
appropriation acts.

PM&C Budget Statements
Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by
the Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the
primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their
outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to
government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following
provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further
broken down by funding source.
Note:
From 1 July 2015, performance reporting requirements in the Portfolio Budget
Statements sit alongside those required under the enhanced commonwealth
performance framework. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in
Portfolio Budget Statements will be read with broader information provided in an
entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual
Reports from October 2016 – to provide an entity’s complete performance story.

Section 3: Budgeted financial statements
Section 3 presents budgeted financial statements which provide a comprehensive
snapshot of entity finances for the 2016-17 budget year, including the impact of budget
measures and resourcing on financial statements.
3.1
BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.1.1
Differences between entity resourcing and financial statements
Departmental
The Agency Resource Statement (Table 1.1) provides a consolidated view of all the
resources available to PM&C in 2016-17. For departmental items this includes equity
injections and appropriation receivable that is yet to be drawn down to cover payables
and provisions on the Departmental Balance Sheet (Table 3.2). The Comprehensive
Income Statement (Table 3.1) shows only the operating appropriation provided each
year.
Administered
The 2016-17 administered expense figures in the Entity Resource Statement (Table 1.1)
include the cash appropriation for payments for former Governors-General
entitlements. A provision for the total estimated value of these entitlements is
recognised in the financial statements at the time each Governor-General is appointed.
Accordingly, payment of these entitlements results in a reduction to the provision
rather than an operating expense.
The Schedule of Budgeted Income and Expenses Administered on Behalf of
Government (Table 3.7) includes non-cash appropriation items including depreciation
and amortisation expense, makegood and the provision for former Governors-General
entitlements.
3.1.2
Explanatory notes and analysis of budgeted financial statements
Departmental
Comprehensive Income Statement
Revenue from Government for 2016-17 has increased since the 2015-16 Portfolio
Additional Estimates Statements (PAES) from $373.1 million to $374.2 million.
Following the Administrative Arrangement Orders made on 21 December 2015 PM&C
gained the Cities and built environment function resulting in increased employee
expenses and associated supplier costs.
43
PM&C Budget Statements
PM&C is budgeting for a break-even net cost of services in 2016-17 and the forward
estimates. The Comprehensive Income Statement (Table 3.2) sets out the expected
operating results for the ordinary annual services provided by PM&C, which are
funded by departmental appropriations and other revenue.
Budgeted Departmental Balance Sheet
PM&C’s net asset position decreases over the forward estimates as a result of the
impact of the sale of properties relating to the Property Divestment Strategy. The net
asset position is expected to stabilise following the conclusion of this measure in
2018-19.
Administered
Schedule of Budgeted Income and Expenses Administered on Behalf of Government
The estimated administered grant expenditure has increased by $22.0 million since
PAES primarily due to funding received for the measure Continuity of Indigenous
Business Support.
Schedule of Budgeted Assets and Liabilities Administered on Behalf of Government
PM&C’s budgeted administered net assets position in 2016-17 is expected to be
$4.5 billion, which remains relatively stable from the estimated actuals in
2015-16 ($4.4 billion).

AHL Budget Statements
Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by
the Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the
primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their
outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to
government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following
provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further
broken down by funding source.
Note:
From 1 July 2015, performance reporting requirements in the Portfolio Budget
Statements sit alongside those required under the enhanced commonwealth
performance framework. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in
Portfolio Budget Statements will be read with broader information provided in an
entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual
Reports from October 2016 – to provide an entity’s complete performance story.

AHL Budget Statements
Section 3: Budgeted financial statements
Section 3 presents budgeted financial statements which provide a comprehensive
snapshot of entity finances for the 2016-17 budget year, including the impact of budget
measures and resourcing on financial statements.
3.1
BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.1.1
Differences between entity resourcing and financial statements
Table 3.2.1 recognises the full year revenue for 2015–16 on the basis of accrual
accounting principles. However the impact of complying with Australian Accounting
Standard 1004 Contributions, is that revenue received from other Commonwealth
entities is to be recognised in the year when the funding is due and received, which is
not necessarily the year that the funding is spent. This means that for any third party
contract where revenue is received in a different year to the actual spend of
expenditure, this will result in an overall operating loss for AHL.
There are no significant differences between the resource information presented in the
Budget Papers and Portfolio Budget Statements as a result of differences between
Australian Accounting Standards and Government Finance Statistics. Furthermore,
there are no differences that arise because of related entity transactions.
3.1.2
Explanatory notes and analysis of budgeted financial statements
Comprehensive Income Statement
Employee benefits have decreased in the Budget year due to the divestment of five
Company owned accommodation facilities in 2014-15 and the expiry of AHL’s contract
with Northern Territory Government to operate an accommodation facility in Alice
Springs beyond 30 June 2015.
All funding agreements under Program 1.2 (Community Operated Hostels) lapsed on
31 December 2014. Budgeted Departmental Balance Sheet
Funds received from the divestment of Company owned accommodation facilities are
held in cash reserves identified for use specifically for capital re-investment and
strategic investment where there is unmet demand.

AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL AUDIT OFFICE
Section 1: Entity overview and resources
1.1
STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
The Australian National Audit Office’s (ANAO) purpose is to improve public sector
performance and support accountability and transparency in the Australian
Government sector through independent reporting to Parliament, the Executive and
the public. The Auditor-General is an independent officer of the Australian Parliament
whose responsibilities are set out in the Auditor-General Act 1997. In delivering against
this mandate, the Auditor-General is assisted by the ANAO.
The ANAO delivers a range of audit and related services that include:

annual financial statements audits and assurance reviews of Australian
Government entities

performance audits and audits of performance measures of Australian
Government programs and entities

sharing information and expertise, including the publication of better practice
guides.
Four key focus areas provide the framework for the ANAO’s strategies to deliver on its
purpose:

being independent and responsive in the relationship with Parliament and
parliamentary committees, and with public sector entities

providing value-adding services such as insights and better practice

ensuring capability to deliver world class services

ensuring confidence in the delivery of services, which represent value for money.
In 2016-17, key capabilities identified to invest in are:

leadership to drive an innovative and professional audit practice and to build
strong relationships

contemporary communication capability to provide accessible engaging audit
reports that are highly valued by the Parliament, stakeholders and entities

advanced information and analytics capability to enable the delivery of high
quality and high impact audit findings

new models of audit service delivery that demonstrate value for money and
provide a program of audit services that remain relevant and effective.

ANAO Budget Statements
1.2
ENTITY RESOURCE STATEMENT
Table 1.1 shows the total funding from all sources available to ANAO for its operations
and to deliver programs and services on behalf of the government.
The table summarises how resources will be applied by outcome (government strategic
policy objectives) and by administered (on behalf of the government or the public) and
departmental (for the entity’s operations) classification.
For more detailed information on special accounts and special appropriations, please
refer to Budget Paper No. 4 – Agency Resourcing.
Information in this table is presented on a resourcing (i.e. appropriations/cash
available) basis, whilst the ‘Budgeted expenses by Outcome 1’ table in Section 2 and
the financial statements in Section 3 are presented on an accrual basis.
The ANAO charges an audit fee for the financial statement audits of corporate
Commonwealth entities, companies and their subsidiaries subject to the Public
Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013. These fees are based on a scale
determined by the Auditor-General under section 14 of the Auditor-General Act 1997,
and are calculated on the basis of a cost attribution model. Revenues from these audit
fees are paid into the Official Public Account and are not available to the ANAO. The
revenue and receipts are shown in Table 3.7 (Schedule of budgeted income and
expenses administered on behalf of Government) and Table 3.9 (Schedule of budgeted
administered cash flows), respectively.
The ANAO is also permitted to charge for ‘audits by arrangement’ under section 20(2)
of the Auditor-General Act 1997. The revenue is shown as sales of goods and rendering
of services in Table 3.1 (Comprehensive income statement).

ANAO Budget Statements
Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by
the Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the
primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their
outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to
government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
The ANAO has one outcome, which is described below together with its related
programs. The following provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome
and program, further broken down by funding source.
Note:
From 1 July 2015, performance reporting requirements in the Portfolio Budget
Statements sit alongside those required under the enhanced commonwealth
performance framework. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in
Portfolio Budget Statements will be read with broader information provided in an
entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual
Reports from October 2016 – to provide an entity’s complete performance story.

Section 3 presents budgeted financial statements which provide a comprehensive
snapshot of entity finances for the 2016-17 budget year, including the impact of budget
measures and resourcing on financial statements.

BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.1.1
Differences between entity resourcing and financial statements
The entity resource statement (Table 1.1) provides a consolidated view of all the
resources available to an entity in 2016-17. This includes appropriation receivable that
is yet to be drawn down to cover payables and provisions on the balance sheet. The
comprehensive income statement (Table 3.1) shows the operating appropriation
provided in 2016-17.
3.1.2
Explanatory notes and analysis of budgeted financial statements
Departmental
Comprehensive income statement
Total income in 2016-17 is budgeted at $76.8 million (2015-16 $76.5 million). Revenue
from Government (appropriation funding) has slightly increased to $72.8 million
(2015-16 $72.7 million) due to increases from new budget measures (Table 1.2) being
offset by funding reductions arising from efficiency dividends and other savings
measures.
Other revenue is expected to be $4.0 million. This revenue relates to:
 international project funding of $1.8 million to support the Indonesian Board of
Audit and the Papua New Guinea Auditor-General’s Office
 own sourced revenue of $2.2 million for ‘audits by arrangement’ under section
20(2) of the Auditor-General Act 1997 and building sublease income.

Section 1: Entity overview and resources
1.1
STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
The planned outcome of the Australian Public Service Commission (APSC) is to
increase awareness and adoption of best practice public administration by the
Australian Public Service (APS) through leadership, promotion, advice and
professional development, drawing on research and evaluation. The APSC takes a
central leadership role in providing expertise, guidance and performance monitoring
on workforce management strategies. The APSC also supports the Australian Public
Service Commissioner and the Merit Protection Commissioner to undertake statutory
functions under the Public Service Act 1999, including functions to uphold high
standards of integrity and conduct in the APS and to review employment decisions.
In 2016-17 the APSC will focus on its strategic priorities. These priorities reflect APSC’s
statutory responsibilities, and are consistent with supporting frameworks for a modern
and flexible workforce.

Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by
the Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the
primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their
outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to
government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following
provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further
broken down by funding source.
Note:
From 1 July 2015, performance reporting requirements in the Portfolio Budget
Statements sit alongside those required under the enhanced commonwealth
performance framework. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in
Portfolio Budget Statements will be read with broader information provided in an
entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual
Reports from October 2016 – to provide an entity’s complete performance story.

Section 3: Budgeted financial statements
Section 3 presents budgeted financial statements which provide a comprehensive
snapshot of entity finances for the 2016-17 budget year, including the impact of budget
measures and resourcing on financial statements.
3.1
BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.1.1
Differences between entity resourcing and financial statements
The entity resource statement (Table 1.1) provides a consolidated view of all the
resources available to the entity in 2016-17 including both departmental and
administered funding. This includes appropriation that is yet to be drawn down to
cover departmental payables and provisions on the balance sheet. The departmental
comprehensive income statement (Table 3.2.1) shows only the departmental operating
appropriation provided in each year.
3.1.2
Explanatory notes and analysis of budgeted financial statements
Departmental
Comprehensive Income Statement
In all Budget years the APSC is budgeting for a break-even operating result, adjusted
for depreciation and amortisation expense. Appropriations will reduce slightly in
2016-17 due to efficiency dividends and a range of Government saving initiatives.
Goods and services income will also reduce in 2016-17 as the demands for a range of
APSC’s services are forecast to be low.
Budgeted Departmental Balance Sheet
Cash balances are maintained at a working level of $0.5 million. Cash holdings above
this level are transferred as a receivable held in the Official Public Account.
Receivables vary in line with the APSC’s capital investment cycle for fee for service
activities. Receivables will remain constant in 2016-17 and decrease in future years to
enable future asset reinvestment.
The main payables and provisions of the APSC are expected to remain at around
current levels. The operating lease incentive liability will reduce over the Budget year
and forward years as the upfront incentives received from lessors for office leases are
allocated as rebates to lease expense over the term of those leases.
Net equity will reduce over the Budget and forward years as the level of departmental
capital budget funding is lower than the loss incurred due to net cash appropriation
arrangements.
115
APSC Budget Statements
Administered
The administered transactions are for payments of Parliamentarians’ and Judicial
Office Holders’ remuneration and entitlements. These payments are funded by special
appropriations and are disclosed in the administered schedule of income and expenses
and schedule of cash flows. There are no administered liabilities or assets as all
remuneration and entitlements are paid in the month in which they are incurred.
Expenses are expected to increase each year as the Remuneration Tribunal is required
by its legislation to review remuneration for Parliamentarians and Judicial Office
Holders annually.

(a) From 2010-11, the Government introduced net cash appropriation arrangements where Bill 1 revenue
appropriations for the depreciation/amortisation expenses of non-corporate Commonwealth entities (and
select corporate Commonwealth entities) were replaced with a separate capital budget (the
Departmental Capital Budget, or DCB) provided through Bill 1 equity appropriations. For information
regarding DCBs, please refer to Table 3.5 Departmental Capital Budget Statement.

Section 1: Entity overview and resources
1.1
STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
The DTO’s vision is that everyone who needs to use government services should be
able to find what they need to get it done quickly and easily. The DTO will deliver and
assist government agencies to deliver, simpler, clearer and faster services for all.
In 2016-17, the DTO will work towards its vision by focusing on:

Delivering simpler and clearer government services and information for users, in
particular through GOV.AU, an approach to the Australian government’s web
presence that will ensure users get what they need from government without
having to understand how government works.

Assisting agencies transform their digital services, in particular through
co-working in our delivery hubs, assistance in meeting the digital service
standard and public reporting against KPIs on a performance dashboard.

Removing barriers to make it easier for businesses of all sizes access government
ICT contracts and supporting government to become better digital and
technology buyers, in particular through the digital marketplace

Making it easier for people to prove that they are who they say they are when
they access government services.

Providing leadership across the Australian government on service delivery.

Providing advice to the Minister on all service delivery proposals.
In delivering this, we will focus on ensuring:

A better experience for users

Better value for money

A more effective public service.

Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by
the Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the
primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their
outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to
government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following
provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further
broken down by funding source.
Note:
From 1 July 2015, performance reporting requirements in the Portfolio Budget
Statements sit alongside those required under the enhanced commonwealth
performance framework. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in
Portfolio Budget Statements will be read with broader information provided in an
entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual
Reports from October 2016 – to provide an entity’s complete performance story.

BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.1.1
Differences between entity resourcing and financial statements
There are no significant differences between the resource information presented in the
Budget Papers and Portfolio Budget Statements as a result of differences between
Australian Accounting Standards and Government Finance Statistics.
3.1.2
Explanatory notes and analysis of budgeted financial statements
Departmental costs are projected to be approximately $35.1 million for 2016-17, split
between employee expenses of $10.5 million and $24.6 million of supplier expenses.

INDIGENOUS BUSINESS AUSTRALIA
Section 1: Entity overview and resources
1.1
STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
IBA's vision is for a nation in which the First Australians are economically
independent and an integral part of the economy. Under its legislation, the
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Act 2005, IBA's purpose is to:

assist and enhance Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander self-management and
economic self-sufficiency

advance the commercial and economic interest of Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islanders by accumulating and using a substantial capital base for the benefit of
the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
To achieve its purpose, IBA has established three key strategic objectives, under which
its specific strategies and performance indicators are grouped:

assist Indigenous Australians to achieve economic independence through direct
investment and participation in commercial and joint venture business enterprises
that will produce increased financial returns and employment, training and
supply chain opportunities

assist eligible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to start up, acquire,
grow or exit a successful business

facilitate Indigenous Australians into home ownership by providing affordable
housing loans to Indigenous Australians who would generally not qualify for
housing finance elsewhere. This includes addressing barriers such as lower
incomes and savings; credit impairment; and limited experience with loan
repayments. 147

ENTITY RESOURCE STATEMENT
Table 1.1 shows the total funding from all sources available to IBA for its operations
and to deliver programs and services on behalf of the government.
The table summarises how resources will be applied by outcome (government strategic
policy objectives) and by administered (on behalf of the government or the public) and
departmental (for the entity’s operations) classification.
For more detailed information on special accounts and special appropriations, please
refer to Budget Paper No. 4 – Agency Resourcing.
Information in this table is presented on a resourcing (i.e. appropriations/cash
available) basis, whilst the ‘Budgeted expenses by Outcome 1’ tables in Section 2 and
the financial statements in Section 3 are presented on an accrual basis.

IBA Budget Statements
Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by
the Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the
primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their
outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to
government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following
provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further
broken down by funding source.
Note:
From 1 July 2015, performance reporting requirements in the Portfolio Budget
Statements sit alongside those required under the enhanced commonwealth
performance framework. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in
Portfolio Budget Statements will be read with broader information provided in an
entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual
Reports from October 2016 – to provide an entity’s complete performance story.

1
This measure indicates portfolio return to Indigenous partners during the year. It is calculated as the
aggregate return generated by Indigenous partners’ interests in the investment portfolio in the Budget year,
expressed as a percentage of the average value of the Indigenous partner’s interests in the investment
portfolio during the Budget year. It is calculated after management, administration fees and expenses at the
level of the underlying investee entities and hence represents the net investment return to Indigenous
investors
2
CPI refers to the average consumer price index for Australia during the measurement period. For example
if the realised CPI for 2016-17 is 1.7% then the expected return based on a target of CPI + 4% would be
5.7% (1.7% + 4%)
3
This measure indicates portfolio return to IBA during the year. It is calculated as the return generated by
IBA’s share of the investment portfolio in the Budget year, expressed as a percentage of the average value
of IBA’s share of the investment portfolio (inclusive of cash) during the Budget year (“Portfolio Value”). It is
calculated after management, administration fees and expenses at the level of the underlying investee
entities, but before IBA’s program level expenses.

This is a new KPI introduced in 2016-17 to measure the aggregate volume of new loans.
From 2016-17 IBA has adopted “combined gross annual income” for this KPI. For joint applicants this
includes total income for both applicants (previously adjusted combined gross annual income was used
which was 100% of the main income earner’s income and 50% of the secondary income earner’s
income).
This new performance indicator has been added in 2016-17 to report on new home ownership
outcomes separately from loans made for ancillary home ownership outcomes. eg home renovations,
repairs and maintenance and to refinance loans

IBA Budget Statements
Section 3: Budgeted financial statements
Section 3 presents budgeted financial statements which provide a comprehensive
snapshot of entity finances for the 2016-17 budget year, including the impact of budget
measures and resourcing on financial statements.
3.1
BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.1.1
Differences between entity resourcing and financial statements
There are no differences between IBA’s Entity Resourcing and Financial Statements.
3.1.2
Explanatory notes and analysis of budgeted financial statements
An analysis of the primary causes of movements in the budgeted financial statements
is provided below. The 2015-16 estimated actual results are used as the comparative
year in the analysis.
IBA budgets are prepared on a consolidated basis for the agency and its 34
subsidiaries. On consolidation, assets, liabilities, income and expenditure of all
subsidiaries flow through to individual line items in the consolidated budget.
Comprehensive Income Statement
IBA is budgeting for an operating surplus of $7.1 million in 2015-16 and an estimated
surplus of $15.4 million in 2016-17.
Budgeted Departmental Balance Sheet
Budgeted net assets as at 30 June 2017 of $1,275.2 million represents an increase of
$48.8 million over the net assets of $1,226.4 million as at 30 June 2016. The main drivers
of the increase ($48.8 million) are:

continuing capital injections from the Government of $36.6 million

the estimated operating surplus of $15.4 million.
158
IBA Budget Statements
Budgeted Departmental Statement of Cash Flows
Net lending activity is expected to decrease from $78.6 million in 2015-16 to $68.5
million in 2016-17. The decrement is the excess of loan repayments and discharges over
new loan disbursements.
Departmental Statement of Changes in Equity
Total equity is expected to increase by $48.8 million to $1,275.2 million as at
30 June 2017, with the additional equity injection of $36.6 million from the
Commonwealth and the Budget year surplus of $15.4 million.
Notes to budgeted financial statements
Concessional Loan discount
IBA continues to designate its loan portfolio at fair value through profit and loss per
paragraph 11A of AASB 139 which provides for contracts with embedded derivatives,
such as prepayment options, to be designated at fair value through profit and loss. The
variation in the loan portfolio under fair value basis is written directly to the
Comprehensive Income Statement.
Financial Assets – Receivables
This includes loans and advances made by IBA to clients in the delivery of its outputs,
in addition to amounts owing to IBA for delivery of goods and services, and dividends
owed to IBA from subsidiaries, associates and investments. Loans receivable are
carried at fair value under AASB 139.
Assets – Non-Financial
Except for any re-valued assets, reported value of plant and equipment represents the
purchase price paid less depreciation incurred. Land and building held for investment
are carried at fair value.
Reduction in Appropriations
An amount of $23.1m appropriation currently allocated to IBA’s Business
Development and Assistance Program (BDAP) has been re-directed to Department of
the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C) in 2016-17 only.
As an interim measure, IBA proposes to deliver business support and capability
development serving under a contractual arrangement with PM&C and it is expected
that the $23.1m funding will be provided to IBA as grant payments from PM&C.

INDIGENOUS LAND CORPORATION
Section 1: Entity overview and resources
1.1
STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
The Indigenous Land Corporation (ILC) is a corporate Commonwealth entity
established on 1 June 1995 as a component of the national settlement after the Mabo
judgment (1992) recognised common law native title rights to land. It is governed by
the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Act 2005 (ATSI Act).
The ATSI Act, section 191B defines the ILC’s purpose as:
(a) To assist Aboriginal persons and Torres Strait Islanders to acquire land; and
(b) To assist Aboriginal persons and Torres Strait Islanders to manage Indigenousheld land
so as to provide economic, environmental, social or cultural benefits for Aboriginal
persons and Torres Strait Islanders.
The ATSI Act requires that the ILC grant land acquired to Indigenous corporations
‘within a reasonable time’, and perform land management functions only on
Indigenous-held land and ‘under agreements with the holders of the land’.
The ILC’s primary source of income is revenue from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander Land Account (Land Account), legislated concurrently with the ILC as part of
the native title settlement. The Land Account is administered by the Department of the
Prime Minister and Cabinet under delegation from the Minister for Finance.
The ILC’s primary decision-making body is a seven-member Board, of whom five
members including the Chairperson must be Indigenous Australians. The Board sets
the ILC’s strategic direction and policies over a three-to-five year timeframe through
the National Indigenous Land Strategy (NILS), required to be tabled in Parliament and
published. The current NILS 2013–17—in the process of redevelopment by the Board
appointed in October 2015—sets out two priorities for the achievement of Indigenous
benefits through the acquisition and management of Indigenous land: 1) Access to and
protection of cultural and environmental values, and 2) Socioeconomic development.
The ILC’s land acquisition and land management functions operate through the Our
Land Our Future program-delivery arrangements, launched in March 2015. Features of
Our Land Our Future include open timelines, flexible processes and a strong
commitment to collaboration, longer term investment and capacity building in
developing successful projects with Indigenous land owners and other partners. The
ILC will continue its active engagement with Indigenous land holders and others in
developing income streams for Indigenous owners in areas such as carbon farming,
environmental services and heritage management.
171
ILC Budget Statements
The ATSI Act provides for the establishment of subsidiaries. With the ILC, the three
wholly-owned subsidiaries below form the ILC Group:
 National Indigenous Pastoral Enterprises (NIPE) Pty Ltd, which manages 14
ILC-developed agribusinesses, 13 in the northern Australian beef industry
 Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia (Voyages) Pty Ltd, which owns and
manages Ayers Rock Resort, NT, and manages two other tourism enterprises
developed by the ILC
 National Centre of Indigenous Excellence (NCIE) Ltd, which manages the ILCdeveloped social enterprise of the same name in Redfern, Sydney, NSW.
ILC-developed commercial enterprises in agriculture and tourism are a vehicle for
Indigenous economic development in regional and remote areas, demonstrate best
practice in land management and use, and are a base for Our Land Our Jobs, the
Indigenous training-to-employment projects funded by the ILC and its subsidiaries in
partnership with the Australian Government’s Indigenous Advancement Strategy and
other funding providers.
The ILC is charged with assisting in the management of an Indigenous estate that is
now estimated to cover up to 40 per cent of the Australian land mass1. This land is
subject to complex array of land titles (including varying and often highly qualified
native title rights); the vast extent is in remote northern and central Australia. As
recognised in the White Paper on Developing Northern Australia (June 2015) and the
Investigation into Indigenous Land Administration and Use (December 2015), Indigenous
people continue to face challenges in deriving the shorter and longer term benefits,
including intergenerational wealth creation, generally associated with land ownership.
As the Indigenous estate grows (principally through native title settlements and
determinations) and the Indigenous population increases, the ILC faces a number of
challenges. Land Account revenues, generated from a capital fund fixed in real terms,
will be increasingly inadequate to meet the land acquisition and, in particular, land
management needs generated across Indigenous Australia. The ILC’s acquisition of
Ayers Rock Resort in 2010–11, while achieving significant Indigenous benefits, has
placed severe financial constraints on the delivery of its core land acquisition and
management functions. The ILC is currently working with the Australian Government
on options for increasing revenue from the Land Account and minimising interest
payments on the Ayers Rock Resort debt.
The ILC delivers strongly on the Australian Government’s Closing the Gap priority of
‘getting adults into work’ through Our Land Our Jobs and the direct employment of
Indigenous people. In assisting the Government’s priority of Indigenous economic
development, and in particular economic development on Indigenous-held land, the
ILC will in 2016–17 and future years work more closely with Indigenous Business
Australia (IBA), given the potential for synergy between the two agencies.

Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by
the Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the
primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their
outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to
government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following
provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further
broken down by funding source.
Note:
From 1 July 2015, performance reporting requirements in the Portfolio Budget
Statements sit alongside those required under the enhanced commonwealth
performance framework. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in
Portfolio Budget Statements will be read with broader information provided in an
entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual
Reports from October 2016 – to provide an entity’s complete performance story.

Section 3: Budgeted financial statements
Section 3 presents budgeted financial statements which provide a comprehensive
snapshot of entity finances for the 2016-17 budget year, including the impact of budget
measures and resourcing on financial statements.
3.1
BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.1.1
Differences between entity resourcing and financial statements
The ILC has no differences in entity resourcing and financial statements.
The financial statements included in the Portfolio Budget Statements are for the ILC
Group comprising the ILC (the parent entity) and its wholly owned subsidiaries other
than Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia Pty Ltd that has been classified as a
Public Non-Financial Corporation and is not a general government sector body.
3.1.2
Explanatory notes and analysis of budgeted financial statements
The ILC’s primary source of income is an annual minimum payment of $45 million
indexed from the Land Account pursuant to section 193(2) of the ATSI Act. Indexation
has been applied annually to the base amount of $45 million since 2010-11.
Estimated payments from the Land Account from 2014–15 onwards have been
provided by PM&C, which is responsible for the administration of the Land Account.
The total resources for the ILC’s outcome include the income from the Land Account,
and represent the funds available to ILC to carry out its legislated functions.
Under its legislation, ILC has the flexibility to invest funds and to roll over funds not
expended in previous years.
Under section 191H of the ATSI Act, ILC has the specific power to invest money.
Earnings on these investments are represented in the Comprehensive Income
Statement (Table 3.2.1).
Under its legislation, ILC acquires land for the specific purpose of granting an interest
in that land to an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander corporation. ILC capitalises the
land on purchase and makes an immediate provision for the grant equivalent to the
purchase price. In the Comprehensive Income Statement (Table 3.2.1), the expenses
associated with the purchase and grant of the land are recognised in the period in
which the land is purchased. Expenses associated with land management projects are
recognised in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.
ILC also holds properties for granting that have significant livestock on them. In
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, ILC values the livestock on a
market-to-market basis. Accordingly, the change in market value in any given period
is recognised in the Comprehensive Income Statement (Table 3.2.1).

OFFICE OF NATIONAL ASSESSMENTS
Section 1: Entity overview and resources
1.1
STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
The Office of National Assessments (ONA) is established by the Office of National
Assessments Act 1977. It reports directly to the Prime Minister. By statute, ONA is
independent of any department or authority and the Director-General of ONA is not
subject to external direction on the content of assessments.
ONA concerns itself exclusively with international issues of importance to Australia.
Our purpose is to give the Australian government a decision-making advantage by
helping it to interpret world developments.
We do this through two main activities:

analysis of, and anticipating change in, international political, strategic and
economic matters of importance to Australia

coordinating and evaluating Australia's foreign intelligence activities to inform
government on their focus and effectiveness.
These assessment and coordination activities are enabled by forward-looking and agile
corporate, information and security management systems and processes.
ONA's independence is vital to our performance. The government values objectivity in
ONA assessments, which often form a base for policy development. Our effectiveness
also depends on our responsiveness to the Prime Minister and key ministers and
departments.

ONA Budget Statements
Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by
the Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the
primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their
outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to
government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
ONA's outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following
provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further
broken down by funding source.
The key strategies by which ONA will seek to achieve its outcome are by:

maintaining a strong customer focus

encouraging the highest standards of intelligence analysis and assessment

keeping Australia’s international intelligence activities under continuous review

providing a supportive and stimulating work environment.
Note:
From 1 July 2015, performance reporting requirements in the Portfolio Budget
Statements sit alongside those required under the enhanced commonwealth
performance framework. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in
Portfolio Budget Statements will be read with broader information provided in an
entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual
Reports from October 2016 – to provide an entity’s complete performance story.

Section 3: Budgeted financial statements
Section 3 presents budgeted financial statements which provide a comprehensive
snapshot of entity finances for the 2016-17 budget year, including the impact of budget
measures and resourcing on financial statements.
3.1
BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.1.1
Differences between entity resourcing and financial statements
The Entity Resource Statement (Table 1.1) provides a consolidated view of all the
resources available to the entity in 2016-17. This includes equity injections and
appropriation receivable that is yet to be drawn down to cover payables and
provisions on the Departmental Balance Sheet (Table 3.2). The Comprehensive Income
Statement (Table 3.1) shows only the operating appropriation provided in 2016-17.
3.1.2
Explanatory notes and analysis of budgeted financial statements
ONA does not have any special accounts or manage administered funds.
Comprehensive Income Statement
ONA is budgeting for a break-even operating result, adjusted for depreciation and
amortisation expense in 2016-17 and the forward estimate years. Employee and
supplier expenses are budgeted to remain stable over the Budget and forward estimate
years.
Budgeted Departmental Balance Sheet
Cash balances are maintained within a working capital limit of $0.7 million as agreed
with the Department of Finance.
Appropriation balances carried forward are retained to cover employee provisions and
supplier payables, and for the management of the accounting treatment of the building
lease. The increase in supplier payables reflects the rent payable liability increasing
over the Budget and forward years due to the requirement for lease payments under
an operating lease to be recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
Budgeted Departmental Statement of Cash Flows
The cash flow is consistent with, and representative of, the transactions reported in the
Comprehensive Income Statement (Table 3.1), adjusted for non-cash items and
anticipated capital purchases.
Departmental Capital Budget Statement
The Departmental Capital Budget Statement (Table 3.5) shows the budgeted capital
works program for the Budget and forward estimate years, including the purchase of
new assets as well as replacement of existing assets.

appropriations for the depreciation/amortisation expenses of non-corporate Commonwealth entities (and
select corporate Commonwealth entities) were replaced with a separate capital budget (the
Departmental Capital Budget, or DCB) provided through Bill 1 equity appropriations. For information
regarding DCBs, please refer to Table 3.5 Departmental Capital Budget Statement.

OFFICE OF THE COMMONWEALTH OMBUDSMAN
Section 1: Entity overview and resources
1.1
STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
The planned outcome of the Office of the Commonwealth Ombudsman (OCO) is fair
and accountable administrative action by Australian Government entities and
prescribed private sector organisations, by investigating complaints, reviewing
administrative action and statutory compliance inspections and reporting.
The OCO’s strategic vision over the next five years is as follows:
 to provide assurance that the Australian Government entities and prescribed private
sector organisations that the OCO oversights act with integrity and treat people
fairly, and
 to influence enduring systemic improvement in public administration in Australia
and the region.
The OCO also provides assurance to the Australian Government with respect to
investigating industry practices associated with private health insurance and health
care providers (in particular, the performance of the sector and the nature of
complaints) and information to consumers on health insurance options.
The Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Amendment (Data Retention) Bill 2015
enacted on 13 April 2015, created new oversight responsibilities for the OCO. These
new statutory oversight responsibilities involve mandatory regular compliance audits
of certain agencies’ use of covert and intrusive powers and will require a significant
expansion of existing capacity.
Changing expectations of Government and citizens about the delivery of public
services poses challenges to all public sector entities. While being responsive to the
challenges, it is critical in maintaining ongoing confidence in the Australian Public
Service that standards of good public administration and integrity of Government
operations are sustained. The OCO will contribute to that effort through the Office’s
complaint handling, examination of systemic issues, consideration of integrity issues
and inspections.

Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by
the Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the
primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their
outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to
government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following
provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further
broken down by funding source.
Note:
From 1 July 2015, performance reporting requirements in the Portfolio Budget
Statements sit alongside those required under the enhanced commonwealth
performance framework. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in
Portfolio Budget Statements will be read with broader information provided in an
entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual
Reports from October 2016 – to provide an entity’s complete performance story.

Explanatory notes and analysis of budgeted financial statements
Comprehensive Income Statement
OCO is budgeting for a break-even operating result, adjusted for depreciation and
amortisation expense in 2016-17 and the forward estimate years. There will be an
initial reduction in employee costs and supplier costs in 2016-17 in line with the
reduction in funding provided for the oversight functions of the Telecommunications
(Interception and Access) Amendment (Data Retention) Act 2015 and the transfer of the
Private Health Insurance Ombudsman function.
Supplier and employee expenses will continue to match the level of appropriation.
Budgeted Departmental Balance Sheet
The OCO’s budgeted net asset position at 30 June 2017 is estimated to be $5.8 million
down from $5.9 million in 2015-16. The primary liability continues to be employee
provisions with the other payables expected to remain stable at current levels.
Budgeted Departmental Statement of Cash Flows
The cash flow is consistent with, and representative of, the transactions reported in the
Comprehensive Income Statement (Table 3.1), adjusted for non-cash items and
anticipated capital purchases.
The OCO’s working cash balance is in accordance with the ANAO’s agreement with
the Department of Finance. Cash and cash equivalents have reduced from the levels of
2015-16 which was higher to accommodate the salary pay run.

OCO Budget Statements
Departmental Capital Budget Statement
The Departmental Capital Budget Statement (Table 3.5) shows the expected capital
works program for the current and forward years. Total capital expenditure in 2016-17
is estimated to be $0.1 million. In addition, the OCO forecasts spending a further
$2.5 million on capital works over the forward estimates.

appropriations for the depreciation/amortisation expenses of non-corporate Commonwealth entities (and
select corporate Commonwealth entities) were replaced with a separate capital budget (the
Departmental Capital Budget, or DCB) provided through Bill 1 equity appropriations. For information
regarding DCBs, please refer to Table 3.5 Departmental Capital Budget Statement.

Section 1: Entity overview and resources
1.1
STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT
The planned outcome for the Office of the Inspector-General of Intelligence and
Security (OIGIS) is the provision of independent assurance for the Prime Minister,
senior ministers and Parliament as to whether Australia’s intelligence agencies act
legally and with propriety by inspecting, inquiring into and reporting on their
activities.
OIGIS provides a specialised review mechanism for the six Australian intelligence
agencies namely:

Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO)

Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS)

Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation (AGO)

Defence Intelligence Organisation (DIO)

Australian Signals Directorate (ASD)

Office of National Assessments (ONA).
OIGIS undertakes proactive inspections; formal inquiries either ‘own motion’, as a
response to complaints or at the request of the Prime Minister. During formal
inquiries, the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security Act 1986 provides for the use
of strong coercive powers, immunities and protections.
The OIGIS recognises the importance of its oversight being as visible and transparent
as possible, noting that sharing lessons learnt can lead to improvements in public
administration, and recognising the strong public interest in intelligence and security
matters and the need to establish and maintain the credibility of oversight.
Accordingly the office will continue to make public as much of its work as is possible
within appropriate security constraints.

Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by
the Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the
primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their
outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to
government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following
provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further
broken down by funding source.
Note:
From 1 July 2015, performance reporting requirements in the Portfolio Budget
Statements sit alongside those required under the enhanced commonwealth
performance framework. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in
Portfolio Budget Statements will be read with broader information provided in an
entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual
Reports from October 2016 – to provide an entity’s complete performance story.

snapshot of entity finances for the 2016-17 budget year, including the impact of budget
measures and resourcing on financial statements.
3.1
BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.1.1
Differences between entity resourcing and financial statements
The Entity Resource Statement (Table 1.1) provides a consolidated view of all the
resources available to the entity in 2016-17. This includes equity injections and
appropriations receivable that is yet to be drawn down to cover payables and
provisions in the Budgeted Departmental Balance Sheet (Table 3.2). The
Comprehensive Income Statement (Table 3.1) shows only the operating appropriations
provided in 2016-17.
3.1.2
Explanatory notes and analysis of budgeted financial statements
Comprehensive Income Statement
OIGIS is budgeting for a break-even operating result, adjusted for depreciation and
amortisation expense, in 2016-17 and the forward years.
As in previous years, the most significant component of the standard operating
expenditure will be salary related, which reflects the nature of the entity’s activities
and functions.
The resources received free of charge include the office space occupied in the
Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet building (estimated value:
$0.1 million per year), the financial audit services provided by the Australian National
Audit Office (estimated value: $0.02 million per year) and maintenance of the internal
secure communications network provided by the Australian Signals Directorate
(estimated value: $0.002 million per year).
Budgeted Departmental Balance Sheet
OIGIS also holds office equipment and furniture, the majority of which are owned by
the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet and provided free of charge.
OIGIS’ significant liabilities include accrued leave liabilities.
Budgeted Departmental Statement of Cash Flows
The cash holdings remain relatively constant over the years due to the cash level
agreement between OIGIS and the Department of Finance.
236
OIGIS Budget Statements
Departmental Capital Budget Statement
The capital budget for 2016-17 is $0.025 million.
Departmental Statement of Changes in Equity
Following the government’s net cash arrangements, whereby depreciation expenses
are no longer funded, it is expected that the equity position will continue to decrease
across the forward years by the amount of the budgeted depreciation expense for the
year. This decline is offset by capital budget appropriations.

appropriations for the depreciation/amortisation expenses of non-corporate Commonwealth entities (and

Departmental Capital Budget, or DCB) provided through Bill 1 equity appropriations. For information

Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by
the Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the
primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their
outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to
government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following
provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further
broken down by funding source.
Note:
From 1 July 2015, performance reporting requirements in the Portfolio Budget
Statements sit alongside those required under the enhanced commonwealth
performance framework. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in
Portfolio Budget Statements will be read with broader information provided in an
entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual
Reports from October 2016 – to provide an entity’s complete performance story.

3.1.1
Differences between entity resourcing and financial statements
The OOSGG does not have any significant differences between entity resourcing and
the financial statements.
3.1.2
Explanatory notes and analysis of budgeted financial statements
Departmental
Comprehensive Income Statement
The OOSGG is budgeting for a break-even operating result, adjusted for depreciation
and amortisation expense, in 2016-17 and the forward years.
In line with net cash appropriation arrangements that became effective from 2010-11,
revenue from government has been reduced by an amount equal to depreciation and
amortisation expense. Future asset replacements are funded through the Departmental
Capital Budget detailed in Table 3.2.5.
The Comprehensive Income Statement (Table 3.2.1) sets out the expected operating
results for the ordinary annual services provided by the OOSGG, which are funded by
departmental appropriations and other revenue.
Balance Sheet
The movement in the OOSGG’s net asset position is principally as a result of the
procurement of replacement infrastructure, plant and equipment assets owned by the
OOSGG.
The OOSGG’s primary liability is accrued employee entitlements.
Administered
Schedule of Budgeted Income and Expenses Administered on Behalf of Government
In 2016-17, the OOSGG will receive administered appropriations of $0.4 million for the
Governor-General’s salary, $1.4 million for support of the Australian Honours and
Awards System and $2.9 million for the Administered Capital Budget to sustain the
capability and the condition of its Heritage properties.
257
OOSGG Budget Statements
Schedule of Budgeted Assets and Liabilities Administered on Behalf of Government
The value of land and buildings are expected to increase in 2016-17 and the forward
years due to the completion of projects developed under the Asset Management
Strategy.

(a) From 2010-11, the Government introduced net cash appropriation arrangements where Bill 1 revenue
appropriations for the depreciation/amortisation expenses of non-corporate Commonwealth entities (and
select corporate Commonwealth entities) were replaced with a separate capital budget (the
Departmental Capital Budget, or DCB) provided through Bill 1 equity appropriations. For information
regarding DCBs, please refer to Table 3.5 Departmental Capital Budget Statement.

advice to the Minister for Indigenous Affairs about issues that are relevant to Torres
Strait Islander and Aboriginal people living in the Torres Strait region.
The TSRA also performs separate functions under the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) as the
Native Title Representative Body for the Torres Strait region.
The TSRA’s strategic plan is articulated in the TSRA’s Torres Strait Development Plan
2014–18 (the Development Plan). The Development Plan and its eight program
components have been informed and driven by, the Torres Strait and Northern
Peninsula Area Regional Plan 2009–29 (the Regional Plan) and the goals and
aspirations of the residents of the Torres Strait. The TSRA vision, which is shared by
both the Regional Plan and the Development Plan, is:
 ‘Empowering our people, in our decision, in our culture, for our future’
 ‘Ngalpun yangu kaaba woeydhay, a ngalpun muruygaw danalagan mabaygal kunakan
palayk, bathayngaka’ (KALA LAGAU YA)
 ‘Buaigiz kelar obaiswerare, merbi mir apuge mena obakedi, muige merbi areribi tonarge, ko
merbi keub kerkerem’ (MERIAM MIR)
 ‘Ngalpan moebaygal thoepoeriwoeyamoeyn, ngalpan ya kuduthoeraynu,
igililmaypa, sepa setha wara goeygil sey boey wagel’ (KALA KAWAU YA).
ngalpan
The TSRA’s Development Plan also aligns with the Australian Government’s
Indigenous Advancement Strategy.
Priority areas for TSRA include:
 continuing to drive the regional planning processes, including improving the
integration of service delivery between governments at all levels working in the
region and engaging with local stakeholders, informing them of the TSRA’s
Development Plan
275

to foster economic opportunity and maintain the cultural values that are linked to
natural assets
 implementing the Torres Strait Climate Change Strategy to help reduce climate
change risks and build regional and community resilience while building an
understanding to inform a flexible and adaptive approach to responding to future
uncertainties
 enhancing the Torres Strait region’s wealth by creating sustainable industries and
increasing employment opportunities for our people equivalent to the wider
Australian community
 protecting, maintaining and progressing Native Title rights and recognition over
the Torres Strait region’s land and sea country
 Securing whole-of-government infrastructure investment for Torres Strait
Communities in the region to support healthy homes and healthy living
environments, including progressing the Major Infrastructure Programme (MIP), a
bilateral commitment between the Australian and Queensland Governments, to
build essential health infrastructure in the region including water supply and
reticulation; sanitation and wastewater; community roads and drainage; serviced
housing lots; and asset sustainability
 Improving access to safe and accessible community infrastructure and improved
land and sea communications systems

Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by
the Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the
primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their
outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to
government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following
provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further
broken down by funding source.
Note:
From 1 July 2015, performance reporting requirements in the Portfolio Budget
Statements sit alongside those required under the enhanced commonwealth
performance framework. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in
Portfolio Budget Statements will be read with broader information provided in an
entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual
Reports from October 2016 – to provide an entity’s complete performance story.

GLOSSARY
Term
Meaning
Accumulated
depreciation
The aggregate depreciation recorded for a particular
depreciating asset.
Actual available
appropriation
The actual available appropriation indicates the total
appropriations available to the entity for 2015-16 as at the
2016-17 Budget. It includes all appropriations made
available to the entity in the year (+/- Section 75 transfers,
formal reductions, advance to the Finance Minister and
movements of funds). It is the same as the comparator
figure included in the Appropriation Bills and, as such,
provides a comparison with the appropriation proposed for
the Budget year.
Administered item
Appropriation that consists of funding managed on behalf
of the Commonwealth. This funding is not at the discretion
of the entity and any unspent appropriation is returned to
the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF) at the end of the
financial year. An administered item is a component of an
administered program. It may be a measure but will not
constitute a program in its own right.
Appropriation
An amount of public money parliament authorises for
spending (i.e. funds to be withdrawn from the CRF).
Parliament makes laws for appropriating money under the
Annual Appropriation Acts and under Special
Appropriations, with spending restricted to the purposes in
the Appropriation Acts.
Appropriation Bill
(No. 1)
This Bill proposes spending from the CRF for the ordinary
annual services of government. Bills proposing
appropriations for ordinary annual services cannot be
amended by the Senate under Section 53 of the Australian
Constitution. Once the Bill is passed by Parliament and
given Royal Assent, it becomes Appropriation Act (No. 1).
293
Glossary
Term
Meaning
Appropriation Bill
(No. 2)
This Bill proposes spending from the CRF for purposes
other than the ordinary annual services of government.
Under existing arrangements between the two Houses of
Parliament, this Bill includes appropriation funding of
administered expenses for new outcomes, for payments to
the states and territories, and for departmental or
administered capital. Funding for extensions to existing
programs can be included in Appropriation Bill (No. 1).
Once the Bill is passed by Parliament and given Royal
Assent, it becomes Appropriation Act (No. 2).
Appropriation Bills
(Nos. 3 and 4)
If an amount provided in Appropriation Acts (Nos. 1 or 2)
is not enough to meet approved expenditure in a financial
year, supplementary appropriation may be sought in
Appropriation Bills (Nos. 3 or 4). Once these Bills are
passed by Parliament and given royal assent, they become
the Appropriation Acts (Nos. 3 and 4). They are also
commonly referred to as the Additional Estimates Bills.
Assets
Future economic benefits controlled by an entity as a result
of past transactions or other past events.
Average staffing level
The average number of employees receiving salary/wages
(or compensation in lieu of salary/wages) over a financial
year, with adjustments for casual and part-time employees
to show the full-time equivalent.
Budget Paper 1 (BP1)
Budget Strategy and Outlook. Provides information and
analysis on whole-of-government expenditure and revenue.
Budget Paper 2 (BP2)
Budget Measures. Provides a description of each budget
measure by portfolio.
Budget Paper 3 (BP3)
Australia’s Federal Relations. Provides information and
analysis on federal funding provided to the states and
territories.
Budget Paper 4 (BP4)
Entity Resourcing. Details total resourcing available to
agencies.
Capital Expenditure
Expenditure by an entity on capital projects; for example,
purchasing a building.
294
Glossary
Term
Meaning
Consolidated Revenue
Fund (CRF)
The principal operating fund from which money is drawn
to pay for the activities of the Government. Section 81 of the
Australian Constitution provides that all revenue raised or
monies received by the Executive Government forms one
consolidated revenue fund from which appropriations are
made for the purposes of the Australian Government.
Departmental Capital
Budget (DCB)
Net cash appropriation arrangements involve the cessation
of funding for depreciation, amortisation and make good
expenses. Funding for these expenses has been replaced
with a collection development and acquisition budget
(CDAB) for designated collection institutions (DCIs), and
departmental capital budgets (DCBs).
Departmental item
Resources (assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses) that
entity chief executive officers control directly. This includes
outsourced activities funded and controlled by the entity.
Examples of departmental items include entity running
costs,
accrued
employee
entitlements
and
net
appropriations. A departmental item is a component of a
departmental program.
Depreciation
Apportionment of an asset’s capital value as an expense
over its estimated useful life to take account of normal
usage, obsolescence, or the passage of time.
Equity or net assets
Residual interest in the assets of an entity after deduction of
its liabilities.
Entity
A department, agency, company or authority under the
Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013
(PGPA Act) or any other Commonwealth statutory
authority.
Estimated actual
expenses
Details of the current year’s estimated final figures as
included in the Budget documentation. As the Budget is
released in May each year, but the financial year does not
close off until 30 June, the current year numbers that are
used for comparison with Budget amounts can only be
estimates.
Expenditure
Spending money from the Consolidated Revenue Fund or a
notional payment to a PGPA entity.
295
Glossary
Term
Meaning
Expense
Decreases in economic benefits in the form of outflows or
depletions of assets or incurrence of liabilities that result in
decreases in equity, other than those relating to
distributions to equity participants.
Expenses not
requiring
appropriation in the
Budget year
Expenses not involving a cash flow impact are not included
within the calculation of an appropriation. An example of
such an event is goods or services received free of charge
that are then expensed; for example, ANAO audit services.
The ANAO does not charge for audit services; however, the
expense must be recognised. Similarly, bad debts are
recognised as an expense but are not recognised for the
purpose of calculating appropriation amounts to be sought
from Parliament.
Forward estimates
period
The three years following the Budget year. For example if
2015-16 is the Budget year, 2016-17 is forward year 1,
2017-18 is forward year 2 and 2018-19 is forward year 3.
This period does not include the current or Budget year.
Funds
Money that has been appropriated but not drawn from the
Consolidated Revenue Fund.
Income
Total value of resources earned or received to cover the
production of goods and services.
Make good
Make good is the cost of dismantling and removing an item
and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation
for which an entity incurs either when the item is acquired
or as a consequence of having used the item during a
particular period for purposes other than to produce
inventories during that period. A common example of
make good in the public sector is the restoration of office
premises at the end of a lease period.
Measure
A new policy or savings decision of the government with
financial impacts on the government’s underlying cash
balance, fiscal balance, operating balance, headline cash
balance, net debt or net worth. Such proposals are normally
made in the context of the annual Budget, and are typically
published in Budget Paper No. 2, and in the Mid-Year
Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO).
296
Glossary
Term
Meaning
Mid-Year Economic
and Fiscal Outlook
(MYEFO)
The MYEFO provides an update of the government’s
budget estimates by examining expenses and revenues in
the year to date, as well as provisions for new decisions that
have been taken since the Budget. The report provides
updated information to allow the assessment of the
government’s fiscal performance against the fiscal strategy
set out in its current fiscal strategy statement.
‘Movement of Funds’
between years
A ‘movement of funds’ process is carried out twice each
year in relation to un-expensed administered operating
appropriations. This involves portfolio ministers submitting
requests to the Finance Minister advising of timing changes
to funding requirements. If agreed by the Finance Minister,
there will be an increase in the amount appropriated in
later year(s).
Net cash framework
The net cash framework, implemented from the 2010-11
Budget, replaces funding for depreciation and amortisation
expenses with a departmental capital budget (DCB) and the
funding of make good expenses will cease to be paid in
advance.
The net cash framework applies to general government
sector entities that receive funding from annual
appropriations directly or via a special account, with the
exception of the Department of Defence.
Non-operating
Sometimes called ‘capital’ costs.
Official Public
Account (OPA)
The OPA is the Australian Government’s central bank
account held within the Reserve Bank of Australia. The
OPA reflects the operations of the Consolidated Revenue
Fund.
Operating
Normally related to ongoing, or recurring expenses, such as
paying salaries or making program payments.
Operating result
Equals income less expenses.
Outcome
An outcome is the intended result, consequence or impact
of government actions on the Australian community.

Special account
Balances existing within the CRF that are supported by
standing appropriations, PGPA Act s.78, s.79 and s.80).
Special accounts allow money in the CRF to be
acknowledged as set-aside (hypothecated) for a particular
purpose. Amounts credited to a special account can only be
spent for the purposes of the special account. Special
accounts can only be established by a written determination
of the Finance Minister (s. 78 of the PGPA Act) or through
an Act of Parliament (referred to in s. 80 of the PGPA Act).
Special appropriations
(including standing
appropriations)
An amount of money appropriated by a particular Act of
Parliament for a specific purpose and number of years. For
special appropriations, the authority to withdraw funds
from the CRF does not generally cease at the end of the
financial year.
Standing appropriations are a subcategory consisting of
ongoing special appropriations – the amount appropriated
will depend on circumstances specified in the legislation.
