The campaign aligned with Australian Capital Tourismrsquos objectives of promoting Canberra as a short break destination and increasing visitation during the 2013 Centenary of Canberra and beyond

The ldquohumansrdquo shared their experiences of the nationrsquos capital with over 43 million Australians during the second weekend in February 2013 and over 42 million during the first weekend in October 2012

Across two weekends the 500 humans posted 4952 images on Instagram made 7782 tweets and 1843 Facebook posts The sentiment analysis of the tweets posts photos and videos was more than 90 per cent positive

The campaign generated significant public relations coverage resulting in over 590 print and online news articles

The campaign website wwwhumanbrochurecomau has aggregated all content using HumanBrochure to create the worldrsquos first Human Brochure

More than 60 local tourism businesses were involved in the campaign providing experiences accommodation and meals The project has developed industry capacity and learnings in the online and social media space

A recent survey with the 500 humans showed that over 85 per cent of respondents agreed that their impressions and opinions of Canberra had positively changed as a result of their weekend in Canberra

Major challenges

The formation of the Directorate in May 2011 was one of the key administrative reforms following the Hawke lsquoOne Governmentrsquo review The Directorate brought together the diverse range of government functions that focus on the ACTrsquos economic activity

The bringing together of functions has involved a significant change management and cultural reform process while simultaneously delivering on the ACT Governmentrsquos priorities

A major challenge experienced during the 2012-13 financial year included

Installation of new lighting at Manuka Oval

The installation of the broadcast quality sports lighting at Manuka Oval was a very complex project which was completed within a very short timeframe Work on site commenced in August 2012 and had to be completed in time for the Prime Ministerrsquos XI game on 29 January 2013 The light towers and custom designed headframes were manufactured in England and shipped to Australia in 20 shipping containers and two air freight pallets The six towers each around 40 metres tall are inclined towards the playing surface and hold a total of 594 individual floodlights Each tower contains four different types of light ndash wide medium narrow and extra-narrow ndash which are fanned out to ensure an equal coverage on the playing surface while minimising light spill outside the ground

The successful completion of the project relied on very good project management which ensured that the transport logistics and work on site were closely integrated The work on the site included a significant number of tasks including construction of the footings for the towers installation of two substations installation of switch cabinets at each tower installation of kilometres of electrical cable assembly of the towers and headframes installation and connection of the floodlights lifting of the towers and commissioning of the lights These activities required coordination of a large number of subcontractors and trades as well as the use of the largest mobile crane in Canberra Each of the 594 lights had to be individually aimed to ensure that the light levels on the ground were as designed

During the implementation of the project a number of problems were encountered including ground water vandalism of the cables on one tower and delayed shipments from England The Directorate project team worked closely with the superintendent and contractors to ensure that these problems were resolved and the project completed on time The lights were used for the first time for the Prime Ministerrsquos XI game and were well received by the teams the broadcaster and the large crowd in attendance Subsequently the lights have been used for a one day cricket international and a number of AFL games and continue to perform very well

Comparison to Original Budget

The Directoratersquos net cost of services for 2012-13 of $1378 million was $483 million or 540 per cent higher than the 2012-13 Budget reflecting a combination of factors including

bull asset transfers in ordinary course of business ($445 million)

bull higher grants and purchased services ($25 million)

bull higher supplies and services ($63 million) and

bull higher employee expenses ($14 million)

partially offset by

bull higher user charges ndash ACT Government ($22 million)

bull higher user charges ndash Non-ACT Government ($32 million) and

bull higher other revenue ($11 million)

A detailed analysis is provided under lsquoTotal Expenditurersquo and lsquoTotal Own Source Revenuersquo below

Comparison to 2011-12 Actual Result

Total net cost of services of $1378 million was $510 million or 588 per cent higher than the prior year mainly due to


bull an increase in grants and purchased services ($67 million) and

bull an increase in supplies and services ($38 million)

partially offset by

bull an increase in user charges ndash ACT Government ($06 million) and

bull an increase in user charges ndash Non-ACT Government ($25 million)

Comparison to the Original Budget

Total expenditure of $1558 million was $553 million or 550 per cent higher than the 2012-13 original budget of $1005 million The main contributors to this result were

bull higher asset transfers in the ordinary course of business ($445 million) relating to the transfer of completed capital works to other ACT Government custodian agencies These largely comprise roads and stormwater assets (to the Territory and Municipal Services Directorate) and water sewerage and electricity assets (to ACTEW Corporation) The capital works transferred include Clarrie Hermes Drive Wells Station Drive and other infrastructure to support land release and

bull higher supplies and services ($62 million) due to increased cost of goods sold to stage events which were not budgeted (a Super 15 finals match a National Rugby League test the British and Irish Lions international rugby union match and a significant concert) higher water charges due to increased sportsground watering during summer and autumn and increases in the price of potable water partially offset by lower Professional Fees (consisting of charges for expert advice in relation to business and migration programs sporting programs and tourism advisory services) due to use of in-house expertise and a reduction in capital works in progress written off

Total expenditure for 2012-13 was $539 million or 529 per cent higher than the 2011-12 result The increase is primarily a result of

bull increased asset transfers in the ordinary course of business ($445 million) as outlined above

bull increased grants and purchased services ($67 million) due mainly to business support initiatives funded in the 2012-13 Budget (mainly to NICTA a research body jointly funded by the Commonwealth and State and Territory Governments) and the payment to Pace Farm to convert its facilities from cage egg to barn egg production and

bull increase in supplies and services ($38 million) due mainly to increase in cost of goods sold and utilities partially offset by decrease in professional fees and work in progress expensed as outlined above

Future Trends

Total expenditure is expected to reduce to $1173 million in 2013-14 and again in 2014-15 to $1009 million remaining flat across the out years The decrease in 2013-14 mainly reflects a decrease in the quantum of completed capital works that are expected to be transferred partially offset by an increase in expenditure related to GPO funded capital works

Total Own Source Revenue

Components of Own Source Revenue

Figure 3 below indicates that for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 the Directoratersquos own source revenue was made up mainly of user charges - ACT Government ($29 million) user charges ndash Non-ACT Government ($133 million) interest ($01 million) resources received free of charge ($03 million) and other revenue and gains ($13 million)

Other Revenue $13m (7)

37



Own source revenue for the year ended 30 June 2013 was $70 million or 637 per cent higher than the original 2012-13 Budget of $110 million

The main contributors to this result were

bull higher User Charges ndash ACT Government ($22 million) largely due to cost recovery for services provide to the Land Development Agency (LDA) under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between EDD and LDA

bull higher User Charges ndash Non-ACT Government ($32 million) which include sports match receipts hire of venues merchandising of tourist products and tourism activities such as Floriade Nightfest and the Autumn Festival The increase is mainly due to revenue relating to the National Rugby League and Super 15 matches as well as a large concert at the Canberra Stadium not anticipated in the budget

bull higher other revenue ($12 million) largely due to contributions from State and National sporting organisations for the conduct and delivery of ACT Academy of Sport programs costs reimbursed from the Restructure Fund (relating to staff redundancy costs) and costs reimbursed for the delivery of the Accelerated Land Release program and funds recovered from the Territorial account related to the maintenance of Territorial sporting assets leased to community sporting organisations and

bull higher resources received free of charge ($03 million) for legal services provided by the Justice and Community Safety Directorate which were not budgeted

Comparison to 2011-12 Actual Income

Own source revenue for the year ending 30 June 2013 was $29 million or 190 per cent higher than the 2011-12 result of $151 million mainly as a result of

bull increase in user charges ndash ACT Government ($07 million) mainly due to recovery of expenses from LDA outside the scope of the MoU and

bull increase in user charges ndash Non-ACT Government ($25 million) due to an unbudgeted National Rugby League international test match and Super 15 match as well as a major concert at the Canberra Stadium as outlined above

partially offset by

bull decrease in resources received free of charge ($05 million) due mainly to a reduction in Non-ACT Business Incentive Fund (ACTBIF) waivers granted to NICTA which are now recorded by the ACT Revenue Office

Future Trends

The total annual own source revenue is expected to reduce to $132 million in 2013-14 reflecting a return to levels of own source revenue which do not include an expectation of earnings from one-off events The Directoratersquos own source revenue is expected to be stable across the forward estimates from 2014-15

39



The total asset position as at 30 June 2013 was $6263 million $1498 million higher than the original 2012-13 Budget of $4764 million mainly due to

bull higher capital works in progress ($969 million) reflecting the ongoing construction of significant projects which were originally expected to be capitalised including

The Gungahlin Leisure Centre

Roads related to land release in Molonglo and Gungahlin notably the John Gorton Drive Horse Park Drive and Clarrie Hermes Drive Extension projects and

Infrastructure related to land release in Molonglo

higher property plant and equipment ($545 million) mainly relating to a revaluation of the Directoratersquos assets as at 30 June 2013 The increase was mainly due to increases in the assessed values of land improvements and heritage and community assets

partially offset by

bull lower investments ($17 million) mainly due to decision to expense rather than capitalise the investment in the ACT Film Fund and a subsequent write down of the value of the investment to fair value

Comparison to 2011-12 Actual

The Directoratersquos total asset position was $3131 million higher than the 2011-12 result of $3131 million mainly due to

bull an increase in property plant and equipment ($2573 million) mainly relating to the revaluation of the Directoratersquos assets as at 30 June 2013 as outlined above and

bull an increase capital works in progress ($586 million) due to the ongoing construction of capital works projects as outlined above

partially offset by

bull a decrease in cash and cash equivalents ($14 million) reflecting lower levels of cash carried over for payments relating to capital works projects and

bull a decrease in receivables ($15 million) due to the collection of amounts owed to the Directorate before the end of the reporting period

Total Liabilities

Components of Total Liabilities

Figure 5 below indicates that the majority of the Directoratersquos liabilities comprised of payables (68 per cent) and employee benefits (25 per cent)

Figure 5 Total Liabilities as at 30 June 2013

Payables $206m (68)

Finance Leases $07m (2)

Employee Benefits $77m

(25)

Other $15m (5)


The Directoratersquos total liabilities for the year ended 30 June 2013 of $306 million were $134 million higher than the 2012-13 original budget of $172 million This is due mainly to

bull higher payables ($120 million) reflecting accruals recorded at the end of the financial year in relation to work completed for which invoices are expected to be received early in the new financial year

bull higher employee benefits ($08 million) mainly due to the flow on impact of the 2011-12 audited outcome and

bull higher other liabilities ($04 million) due to increase in revenue received in advance relating to Floriade and Canberra Stadium


Total liabilities were $55 million lower than the 2011-12 result of $361 million primarily due to a decrease in payables reflecting the payment of invoices before they fall due

41


Territorial Statement of Revenues and Expenses The Territorial financial statements usually include revenue expenses assets and liabilities which the Directorate administers on behalf of the ACT Government but does not control

Total Income

Total income for 2012-13 was $78 million and was mainly comprised of funds appropriated under the Financial Management Act 1996 for expenses incurred on behalf of the Territory the main one being Grant payments to ACT racing clubs

Total Expenditure

Total expenditure for 2012-13 was $80 million comprising of Grants ($77 million) to ACT racing clubs supplies and services ($01 million) for repairs and maintenance and loss on investments ($03 million) reflecting the reduction in value of the Canberra Business Development Fund (CBDF)

Territorial Financial Position Territorial assets comprises of Investment in the CBDF


The total asset position as at 30 June 2013 was $13 million $15 million lower than the original 2012-13 Budget of $28 million reflecting the diminution in value of investment in the CBDF

Comparison to 2011-12

The total asset position was $03 million higher than the 2011-12 result of $10 million mainly due to the purchase of additional investments in the CBDF ($05 million) offset by a diminution in value of the investment ($02 million)

(d) Rollover of undisbursed 2011-12 appropriation mainly related to undrawn capital works funding for projects supporting land release and for sporting infrastructure projects where the works had largely been progressed in 2011-12 but where the timing of invoicing required access to appropriation in 2012-13

(e) Largely relates to business and events initiative and capital works funding which was not drawn mainly due to revisions in the timing of payments where the works and programs had largely been progressed but where the timing of invoicing required access to appropriation in the following year The funds were rolled over to 2013-14 through the 2013-14 Budget

(f) Mostly due to capital works funding that was not drawn (in the areas of land release and community and sporting infrastructure) in 2012-13 This was largely due to the timing of payments which reflect an expectation that these will be made in 2013-14 and the forward years and in the main part do not reflect a delay in project delivery The funding was rolled over to 2013-14 through the 2013-14 Budget In addition the undrawn amount includes savings related to the cancellation of the Mitchell - Sandford Street Extension to the Federal Highway capital works project which was no longer required to support the land release program following variations in the scheduled release of Kenny ($126m) and the savings achieved in delivery of the John Gorton Drive Extension project ($2m)

57




NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

(b) Controlled and Territorial Items

The Directorate produces Controlled and Territorial financial statements The Controlled financial statements include income expenses assets and liabilities over which the Directorate has control The Territorial financial statements include income expenses assets and liabilities that the Directorate administers on behalf of the ACT Government but does not control

The purpose of the distinction between Controlled and Territorial is to enable an assessment of the Directoratersquos performance against the decisions it has made in relation to the resources it controls while maintaining accountability for all resources under its responsibility

The basis of accounting described in Note 2(a) above applies to both Controlled and Territorial financial statements except where specified otherwise

(c) The Reporting Period

(f) Revenue Recognition - Continued

Government Payment for Outputs

Government Payment for Outputs is recognised as revenue at the time the payment is received by the Directorate

Sale of Goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer the Directorate retains neither continuing managerial involvement nor effective control over the goods sold and the costs incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably

Rendering of Services

Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised when the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date can be measured reliably and the costs of rendering those services can be measured reliably

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method

Fees Fees are recognised as revenue at the time of payment or when a legal entitlement to the revenue exists

(g) Resources Received and Provided Free of Charge

Resources received free of charge are recorded as a revenue and expense in the Operating Statement at fair value The revenue is separately disclosed under resources received free of charge with the expense being recorded in the line item to which it relates

Goods and services received free of charge from ACT Government agencies are recorded as resources received free of charge whereas goods and services received free of charge from entities external to the ACT Government are recorded as donations Services that are received free of charge are only recorded in the Operating Statement if they can be reliably measured and would have been purchased if not provided to the Directorate free of charge

Resources provided free of charge are recorded at their fair value in the expense line items to which they relate

(h) Repairs and Maintenance

The Directorate undertakes major cyclical maintenance on its assets Where the maintenance leads to an upgrade of the asset and increases the service potential of the existing asset the cost is capitalised Maintenance expenses which do not increase the service potential of the asset are expensed

(i) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred

59





(j) Waivers of Debt

Debts that are waived during the year under Section 131 of the FMA are expensed during the year in which the right to payment was waived Further details of waivers are disclosed at Note 18 Waivers Impairment Losses and Write-offs

(k) Current and Non-Current Items

Assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current in the Balance Sheet and in the relevant notes Assets are classified as current where they are expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date Liabilities are classified as current when they are due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date or the Directorate does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date

Assets or liabilities which do not fall within the current classification are classified as non-current

(l) Impairment of Assets

The Directorate assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired Assets are also reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable However intangible assets that are not yet available for use are tested annually for impairment regardless of whether there is an indication of impairment or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate they might be impaired

Any resulting impairment losses for infrastructure assets buildings leasehold improvements intangible and community and heritage assets are recognised as a decrease in the Asset Revaluation Surplus relating to these classes of assets Where the impairment loss is greater than the balance in the Asset Revaluation Surplus for the relevant class of asset the difference is expensed in the Operating Statement Impairment losses for plant and equipment are recognised in the Operating Statement Also the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount

An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount The recoverable amount is the higher of the assetrsquos lsquofair value less cost to sellrsquo and its lsquovalue in usersquo An assetrsquos lsquovalue in usersquo is its depreciated replacement cost where the asset would be replaced if the Directorate were deprived of it Non-financial assets that have previously been impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of impairment at each reporting date

(m) Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement and the Balance Sheet cash includes cash at bank and cash on hand Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value Bank overdrafts are included in cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statement but not in the cash and cash equivalents line on the Balance Sheet

The investment has been designated as a Financial Asset at Fair Value through Profit and Loss This asset is measured at fair value with any adjustments to the carrying amount going to the Statement of Income and Expenses on Behalf of the Territory Fair value is based on net assets attributable to the Directorate as a unit holder of the trust The net assets are based on the current share market price for investments in publicly listed entities Fair value of investments in unlisted entities is determined by recent armrsquos length transactions for a reasonable quantity of securities (eg security issue or transfer) or by valuation provided by the directors of the CBDF if the book value of the entity is deemed inappropriate

(o) Receivables

Accounts receivable (including trade receivables) are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost with any adjustments to the carrying amount being recorded in the Operating Statement

Trade receivables arise in the normal course of selling goods and services to other agencies and to the public Trade receivables are payable within 30 days after the issue of an invoice or the goodsservices have been provided under a contractual arrangement

The allowance for impairment losses represents the amount of trade receivables and other trade receivables that the Directorate estimates will not be paid The Directorate determines the allowance for impairment losses based on objective evidence and a review of balances within receivables that are unlikely to be collected The Directorate considers the following is objective evidence of impairment

debts more than 60 days overdue or

identified disputed invoices

The allowance for impairment losses is written-off against the receivables account when the Directorate ceases action to collect the debt as it considers that it will cost more to recover the debt than the debt is worth

(p) Inventories

Inventories held for sale are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value Cost comprises the purchase price of inventories as well as transport handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of inventories Trade discounts rebates and other similar items are deducted in determining the costs of purchase The cost of inventories is assigned using the first-in first-out method

Net realisable value is determined using the estimated sales proceeds less costs incurred in marketing selling and distribution to customers

Inventories held for distribution are measured at cost adjusted when applicable for any loss of service potential

61





(q) Acquisition and Recognition of Property Plant and Equipment

Property plant and equipment is initially recorded at cost Cost includes the purchase price directly attributable costs and the estimated cost of dismantling and removing the item (where upon acquisition there is a present obligation to remove the item)

Where property plant and equipment is acquired at no cost or minimal cost cost is its fair value as at the date of acquisition However property plant and equipment acquired at no cost or minimal cost as part of a restructuring of administrative arrangements is measured at the transferorrsquos book value

Where payment of property plant and equipment is deferred beyond normal credit terms the difference between its cash price equivalent and the total payment is measured as interest over the period of credit The discount rate used to calculate the cash price equivalent is an asset specific rate

The Directorate capitalises all non-current physical assets with a value of $5000 or more If a certain category of physical asset (ie desktops printers faxes etc) is considered material because of the volume and nature of the assets purchased then even though the individual cost of these assets may be less than $5000 they are still capitalised and recorded as an asset in the Balance Sheet

(r) Measurement of Property Plant and Equipment after Initial Recognition

Property plant and equipment is valued using the cost or revaluation model of valuation Land buildings infrastructure assets plant and equipment and community and heritage assets are measured at fair value Leasehold improvements are measured at cost

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an armrsquos length transaction Fair value is measured using market based evidence available for that asset (or a similar asset) as this is the best evidence of an assetrsquos fair value Where the market price for an asset cannot be obtained because the asset is specialised and is rarely sold depreciated replacement cost is used to estimate fair value

Fair value for land and buildings is measured using current prices in a market for similar properties in a similar location and condition

Fair value for infrastructure assets and some community and heritage assets is measured using depreciated replacement cost For other community and heritage assets fair value is determined using a market price where there is a market for the same or similar item Land buildings infrastructure assets plant and equipment and community and heritage assets are revalued every 3 years However if at any time management considers that the carrying amount of an asset materially differs from its fair value then the asset will be revalued regardless of when the last valuation took place Any accumulated depreciation relating to buildings plant and equipment and community and heritage assets at the date of revaluation is written-back against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset

Any accumulated depreciation relating to infrastructure assets is restated proportionally with the change in the gross carrying amount so that the net carrying amount of those assets after revaluation equals its revalued amount

(r) Measurement of Property Plant and Equipment after Initial Recognition ndash Continued

The Directoratersquos property plant and equipment assets (excluding leasehold improvements which are carried at cost) were re-valued by independent valuers the Australian Valuation Office and Allbids Liquidity Partners (Certified Practicing Valuers) as at 30 June 2013

The cost of leasehold improvements comprises the purchase price and any directly attributable construction costs

(s) Intangible Assets

The Directorates intangible assets comprise externally acquired software for internal use and externally purchased other intangible assets Externally acquired software is recognised and capitalised when

(a) it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the software will flow to the Directorate

(b) the cost of the software can be measured reliably and (c) the acquisition cost is equal to or exceeds $50000

Capitalised software has a finite useful life Software is amortised on a straight-line basis over its useful life over a period not exceeding 5 years

Externally purchased other intangible assets comprise a licence agreement to occupy the Canberra Business and Events Centre (CBEC) which is amortised on a straight line basis over a period of 20 years

Intangible Assets are measured at cost

(t) Depreciation and Amortisation of Non-Current Assets

Non-current assets with a limited useful life are systematically depreciatedamortised over their useful lives in a manner that reflects the consumption of their service potential The useful life commences when an asset is ready for use When an asset is revalued it is depreciatedamortised over its newly assessed remaining useful life Amortisation is used in relation to intangible assets while depreciation is applied to physical assets such as buildings and plant and equipment

Land heritage and community assets and some infrastructure assets have an unlimited useful life and are therefore not depreciated

Leasehold improvements and motor vehicles under a finance lease are depreciated over the estimated useful life of each asset improvement or the unexpired period of the relevant lease whichever is shorter

All depreciation is calculated after first deducting any residual values which remain for each asset

63





(t) Depreciation and Amortisation of Non-Current Assets ndash Continued

Depreciationamortisation for non-current assets is determined as follows

Class of Asset Depreciation Amortisation Useful Life (Years) Method

Buildings Straight Line 10 ndash 99

Leasehold Improvements Straight Line 3 ndash 10

Plant and Equipment Straight Line 2 ndash 7

Infrastructure Straight Line 20 ndash 100

Intangible Assets Straight Line 5 ndash 20

Community and Heritage Straight Line 5 ndash 100

Land improvements are included with buildings

The useful lives of all major assets held are reassessed on an annual basis

(u) Payables

Payables are a financial liability and are measured at the fair value of the consideration received when initially recognised and at amortised cost subsequent to initial recognition with any adjustments to the carrying amount being recorded in the Operating Statement All amounts are normally settled within 30 days after the invoice date

Payables include Trade Payables Accrued Expenses and Other Payables

Trade Payables represent the amounts owing for goods and services received prior to the end of the reporting period and unpaid at the end of the reporting period and relating to the normal operations of the Directorate

Accrued Expenses represent goods and services provided by other parties during the period that are unpaid at the end of the reporting period and where an invoice has not been received by period end

Other Payables are those unpaid invoices that do not directly relate to the normal operations of the Directorate

(v) Leases

The Directorate has entered into finance leases and operating leases

Finance Leases

Finance leases effectively transfer to the Directorate substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the assets under a finance lease The title may or may not eventually be transferred Finance leases are initially recognised as an asset and a liability at the lower of the fair value of the asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments each being determined at the inception of the lease The discount rate used to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease Assets under a finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the assetrsquos useful life or lease term

Finance Leases - Continued

Assets under a finance lease are depreciated on a straight-line basis Each lease payment is allocated between interest expense and reduction of the lease liability Lease liabilities are classified as current and non-current

Operating Leases

Operating leases do not effectively transfer to the Directorate substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the asset under an operating lease Operating lease payments are recorded as an expense in the Operating Statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease

(w) Employee Benefits

Employee benefits include salaries and wages annual leave annual leave loading long service leave and applicable on-costs On-costs include annual leave long service leave superannuation and other costs that are incurred when employees take annual and long service leave These benefits accrue as a result of services provided by employees up to the reporting date that remain unpaid They are recorded as a liability and as an expense

Salaries and Wages

Accrued salaries and wages are measured at the amount that remains unpaid to employees at the end of the reporting period

Annual and Long Service Leave

Annual leave and long service leave that fall due wholly within the next 12 months is measured based on the estimated amount of remuneration payable when the leave is taken

Annual and long service leave including applicable on-costs that do not fall due within the next 12 months are measured at the present value of estimated future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date Consideration is given to the future wage and salary levels experience of employee departures and periods of service At each reporting period the present value of future payments is calculated using market yields on Commonwealth Government bonds with terms to maturity that match as closely as possible the estimated future cash flows In 2012-13 the rate used to estimate the present value of these future payments is 1013 (1066 in 2011-12)

The long service leave liability is estimated with reference to the minimum period of qualifying service For employees with less than the required minimum period of 7 years qualifying service the probability that employees will reach the required minimum period has been taken into account in estimating the provision for long service leave and the applicable on-costs

The provision for annual leave and long service leave includes estimated on-costs As these on-costs only become payable if the employee takes annual and long service leave while in-service the probability that employees will take annual and long service leave while in service has been taken into account in estimating the liability for on-costs

65





(w) Employee Benefits - Continued

Annual and Long Service Leave - Continued

Annual leave and long service leave liabilities are classified as current liabilities in the Balance Sheet where there are no unconditional rights to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months However where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months annual leave and long service leave have been classified as a non-current liability in the Balance Sheet

(x) Superannuation

The Directorate receives funding for superannuation payments as part of the Government Payment for Outputs The Directorate then makes payments on a fortnightly basis to the Territory Banking Account to cover the Directoratersquos superannuation liability for the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS) and the Public Sector Superannuation Scheme (PSS) This payment covers the CSSPSS employer contribution but does not include the productivity component The productivity component is paid directly to Comsuper by the Directorate The CSS and PSS are defined benefit superannuation plans meaning that the defined benefits received by employees are based on the employeersquos years of service and average final salary

Superannuation payments have also been made directly to superannuation funds for those members of the Public Sector who are part of superannuation accumulation schemes This includes the Public Sector Superannuation Scheme Accumulation Plan (PSSAP) and schemes of employee choice

Superannuation employer contribution payments for the CSS and PSS are calculated by taking the salary level at an employeersquos anniversary date and multiplying it by the actuarially assessed nominal CSS or PSS employer contribution rate for each employee The productivity component payments are calculated by taking the salary level at an employeersquos anniversary date and multiplying it by the employer contribution rate (approximately 3) for each employee Superannuation payments for the PSSAP are calculated by taking the salary level at an employeersquos anniversary date and multiplying it by the appropriate employer contribution rate Superannuation payments for fund of choice arrangements are calculated by taking an employeersquos salary each pay and multiplying it by the appropriate employer contribution rate

A superannuation liability is not recognised in the Balance Sheet as the Superannuation Provision Account recognises the total Territory superannuation liability for the CSS and PSS and Comsuper and the external schemes recognise the superannuation liability for the PSSAP and other schemes respectively

The ACT Government is liable for the reimbursement of the emerging costs of benefits paid each year to members of the CSS and PSS in respect of the ACT Government service provided after 1 July 1989 These reimbursement payments are made from the Superannuation Provision Account

(y) Equity Contributed by the ACT Government

Contributions made by the ACT Government through its role as owner of the Directorate are treated as contributions of equity

Increases or decreases in net assets as a result of Administrative Restructures are also recognised in equity

(z) Insurance

Major risks are insured through the ACT Insurance Authority The excess payable under this arrangement varies depending on each class of insurance held

(aa) Significant Accounting Judgements and Estimates

In the process of applying the accounting policies listed in this note the Directorate has made the following judgements and estimates that have the most significant impact on the amounts recorded in the financial statements

Impairment of Receivables

Note 2 (o) lsquoReceivablesrsquo discloses that where there is objective evidence that a receivable may not be collected an assessment of the likelihood of the recovery of a receivable is required to determine whether an impairment loss must be recognised

Measurement of Territorial Investments at Fair Value

Note 2 (n) lsquoInvestmentrsquo The Directorate has invested in shares in the Canberra Business Development Fund (CBDF) a unit trust jointly-owned by the ACT Government and the private sector with the stated aim of facilitating business growth through investing in business ventures The valuation of shares held by the Unit Trust was made on 30 June 2013

A financial asset is classified as an investment if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management and within the requirements of AASB 139 Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these assets are included in the Statement of Income and Expenses on Behalf of the Territory in the period in which they arise The Directors of the trustee company assess the fair value of the investments at each reporting date by evaluating the conditions specific to the investments of the CBDF Fair value calculations performed for unlisted investments incorporate a number of key estimates including revenue forecasts and industry multipliers

Measurement of Property Plant and Equipment at Fair Value

Note 2 (r) lsquoMeasurement of Property Plant and Equipment after Initial Recognitionrsquo The Directorate has made significant judgements regarding the fair value of its assets Land and Buildings have been recorded at the market value of similar properties as determined by an independent valuer In some circumstances buildings that are purpose built may in fact realise more or less in the market Infrastructure assets and some community and heritage assets have been recorded at fair value based on depreciated replacement cost as determined by an independent valuer The Directoratersquos property plant and equipment assets (excluding leasehold improvements which are carried at cost) were re-valued by independent valuers the Australian Valuation Office and Allbids Liquidity Partners as at 30 June 2013

67





(aa) Significant Accounting Judgements and Estimates - Continued

Estimate of Useful Lives

The Directorate has made a significant estimate in determining the useful lives of its Property Plant and Equipment The estimation of useful lives of Property Plant and Equipment has been based on the historical experience of similar assets In the revaluation as at 30 June 2013 the valuers also reviewed the estimated useful lives of all assets being revalued

The useful lives are assessed on an annual basis and any adjustments are made when considered necessary Further disclosure concerning an assetrsquos useful life can be found at Note 2 (t) lsquoDepreciation and Amortisation of Non-Current Assetsrsquo

Employee Benefits

Note 2 (w) lsquoEmployee Benefitsrsquo Significant judgements have been applied in estimating the liability for employee benefits The estimated liability for employee benefits requires a consideration of the future wage and salary levels experience of employee departures and periods of service The estimate also includes an assessment of the probability that employees will meet the minimum service period required to qualify for long service leave and that on-costs will become payable Further information on this estimate is provided in Note 2 (w) lsquoEmployee Benefitsrsquo

(ab) Impact of Accounting Standards Issued but yet to be Applied

The following new and revised accounting standards and interpretations have been issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board but do not apply to the current reporting period These standards and interpretations are applicable to future reporting periods The Directorate does not intend to adopt these standards and interpretations early Where applicable these Australian Accounting Standards will be adopted from their application date The application date applies to the first reporting period beginning on or after this date It is estimated that the effect of adopting the below financial statement pronouncements when applicable will have no material financial impact on the Directoratersquos financial statements in future reporting periods

NOTE 3 CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Change in Accounting Estimates

Revision of Estimation of the Employee Benefit Liability

As disclosed in Note 2(w) Employee Benefits annual leave and long service leave including applicable on-costs which do not fall due in the next 12 months are measured at the present value of estimated payments

to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date The present value of future

payments is estimated using the government bond rate

Last financial year the rate used to estimate the present value of future payments was 1066 however due to a change in the government bond rate the rate is now 1013

As such the estimate of the long service leave has changed This change has resulted in a decrease in the estimate of the long service leave liability and related expenses in the current reporting period of $195000

NOTE 4 GOVERNMENT PAYMENT FOR OUTPUTS

Government Payment for Outputs (GPO) is revenue received from the ACT Government to fund the costs of delivering outputs The ACT Government pays GPO appropriation on a fortnightly basis

2013 2012 $rsquo000 $rsquo000

Revenue from the ACT Government Government Payment for Outputs(a) 77889 65919

Total Government Payment for Outputs 77889 65919

(a) The increase in Government Payment for Outputs in 2012-13 is mainly due to

The transfer of capital injection to Government Payment for Outputs under Section 14 of the Financial Management Act 1996 The transfer of appropriation was required to more appropriately reflect the nature of expenditure for three capital works projects and for the capital injection funds transferred from the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate for the Capital Metro project and

Provision of a Treasurerrsquos Advance for the payment to Pace Farm to convert its operations at Parkwood from cage to barn egg production for sportsground water cost supplementation due to the warm and dry summer and autumn season and for the Young Pioneers program partially offset by

The net impact of transfers from the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate and to the Territory and Municipal Services Directorate under Section 16 of the Financial Management Act 1996

The rollover of capital works funding to 2013-14 for land release feasibility studies and grants to sporting organisations and business and tourism program funding mainly due to the timing of payments and

The full-year impact of the 2011-12 Administrative Arrangements transfers to the Territory and Municipal Services Directorate of the National Arboretum Canberra project and the ACT Property Group and the expiration of the previous agreement with National ICT Australia

Assetwords NOTE 34 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Details of the significant policies and methods adopted including the criteria for recognition the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised with respect to each class of financial asset and financial liability are disclosed in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates

The Directorate is considered to have minimal exposure to interest rate risk because the Directorate only held one interest-bearing account and interest earnings are variable and immaterial Finance leases are held in fixed interest arrangements

Sensitivity Analysis

A sensitivity analysis has not been undertaken as it is considered that the Directoratersquos exposure to this risk is insignificant and would have an immaterial impact on its financial results

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss The Directoratersquos credit risk is limited to the amount of the financial assets it holds net of any allowance for impairment losses The Directorate expects to collect all financial assets that are not past due or impaired

Risk is minimised through placing cash and cash equivalents with the Commonwealth Bank an established and reputable banking institution in accordance with whole of government banking arrangements

The Directorate manages the credit risk for receivables by regularly monitoring its receivables and issuing monthly statements to overdue accounts where required No significant concentration of credit risk has been identified

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Directorate will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they fall due The Directoratersquos main external financial obligations relate to the payment of grants the purchase of supplies and services and the payment of finance lease obligations The Directorate aims to pay for the purchase of supplies and services within 30 days of receiving the goods or services

The main source of cash to pay these obligations is appropriation from the ACT Government which is paid on a fortnightly basis during the year supplemented by internally generated revenue The Directorate manages its liquidity risk through forecasting appropriation drawdown requirements to enable payment of anticipated obligations

101




Assetwords NOTE 34 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - CONTINUED Price Risk Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) whether these changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market The Directorates financial assets are not subject to price risk Accordingly a sensitivity analysis has not been undertaken

NOTE 47 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS ndash TERRITORIAL


Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates

The Directorate currently has all of its financial assets and financial liabilities held in non-interest bearing arrangements This means that the Directorate is not exposed to any movements in interest rates and as such does not have any interest rate risk

A sensitivity analysis has not been undertaken for the interest rate risk of the Directorate as it is not exposed to any movements in interest rates

Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss The Directoratersquos credit risk is limited to the amount of the financial assets held less any allowance for losses The Directorate expects to collect all financial assets that are not past due or impaired There is no collateral held as security for financial assets

Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Directorate will encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset To limit its exposure to liquidity risk the Directorate ensures that at any particular point in time it has a sufficient amount of current financial assets to meet its financial liabilities Also where necessary the Directorate has the ability to request additional appropriation in order to meet its territorial obligations This ensures the Directorate has enough liquidity to meet its emerging financial liabilities

Price Risk Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices whether these changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market

The Directoratersquos territorial operations are exposed to price risk through its investment in the Canberra Business Development Fund The Canberra Business Development Fund invests in early stage companies that are commercialising research and development As a result there is an inherent risk that the investments will not realise any returns for the Fund The Canberra Business Development Fund manages this risk as comprehensively as possible by engaging Australian Capital Ventures Limited to select and oversee the Fundrsquos investments

A8 Strategic Indicators

The Directorate has identified eight strategic indicators for 2012-13 Below are the details of the Directoratersquos performance against these indicators

Strategic Indicator 1 ndash Dwelling Sites Released to Meet Land Release Program Targets

Each year the Directorate prepares the Governmentrsquos four-year indicative land release programs setting out the intended program of residential industrial commercial and community land releases The Governmentrsquos objective is to meet demand and establish an inventory of serviced land

In 2012-13 the Government released 4354 residential dwelling sites which is below the original target of 5000 sites This shortfall is largely a consequence of the deferral of a large release of apartments in the Belconnen Town Centre due to an existing high level of supply

Strategic Indicator 2 ndash A Reduction in the Median House PriceIncome Multiple

A key objective of the residential land release program is to prevent land supply from contributing to rapid land price changes The Median House and Unit PriceIncome Multiple indicator measures changes in dwelling prices relative to changes in incomes in the ACT

A fall in the multiplier indicates an improvement in the ability to purchase a home which most recently has come from growing incomes and stable to falling dwelling prices

The target for the House PriceIncome Multiple in 2012-13 was 64 and the actual 62 which is better than anticipated For units the target was 50 and the estimated actual outcome was 46 again better than target

It is anticipated that this indicator will continue to fall as the residential land release program continues to deliver more residential dwelling sites thus further easing pressure on land prices

Strategic Indicator 3(a) ndash Participation Rate for Adults in Sport and Physical Recreation

The ABS publication ldquo41560 - Sports and Physical Recreation A Statistical Overview Australia 2012rdquo using data collected from ldquo41770 ndash Participation in Sport and Physical Recreation Australia 2012rdquo shows that the ACT has the highest participation levels in Australia with 803 per cent of Canberrans participating in some sport and physical recreation The table below shows the participation rates by age group

Strategic Indicator 3(b) ndash Participation Rates for Children in Sport and Physical Recreation

Strategic Indicator 5 ndash A Reduction across Government in Average Office Space per Employee

A Trade Connect testimonial

ScreenACT was very fortunate to have been awarded a Trade Connect grant to take a group of ACT-based screen producers to the Cannes Marcheacute du Film in May 2013 For many this was their first exposure to a major international marketplace This experience will influence how the group will do business in the future They have made international connections that will lead to sales of existing completed films and to presales on new projects that are in development The impact of this is that this group will now look beyond the borders of the ACT and Australia to finance and market their projects which is how professionals fund projects Film is a global exportable product and the ACT now is playing in the international arena thanks to the ACT Government and Trade Connect

Stromlo Forest Park also participated in the successful Human Brochure campaign Two sessions were held at Stromlo Forest Park in October 2012 and February 2013

Implementing the ACT Motorsport Strategy

The ACT Motorsport Fund was introduced to promote and grow participation in local motorsport activities In August 2012 the Government awarded approximately $813000 in grant funding to eight community motorsport organisations under Round 2 of the Community Motorsport Development Program (CMDP) The majority of grant payments were for capital improvements to club facilities The Fund is also part of the Governmentrsquos ACTIVE 2020 strategy that aims to increase broad base participation in sport and recreation developing elite performance and ensuring access to sustainable and quality sporting infrastructure

The other primary activity undertaken by TVE is the continued development of an off-road motorcycle riding venue There is demand and community support for a safe accessible and legal off-road motorcycle facility in the ACT The lack of a legal alternative has meant that there has been considerable illegal activity particularly in nature reserves resulting in environmental damage and ongoing management and policing issues in Namadgi National Park and a number of other areas The Directorate in consultation with the Territory and Municipal Services Directorate and stakeholder groups has prepared a master plan for a facility within the Pierces Creek forest A Development Application for the facility is anticipated to be lodged in July 2013

Direct Sales and Project Facilitation

The Direct Sales Unit accepts direct sale eligibility applications from commercial community and Territory entities The unit facilitates the assessment of these applications by assessing an applicantrsquos claims against the eligibility criteria established under the Planning and Development Regulations 2008 or alternatively against the grant objectives prescribed under the Planning and Development Act 2007 Further in cases where an applicant has not identified a preferred parcel of land the unit undertakes a site selection process This process involves liaising with both internal and external stakeholders for comment and consultation

Following consideration of an application by the Direct Sale Panel Government is requested to consider the applicantrsquos eligibility for the parcel of land If supported the Direct Sales Unit facilitates the grant of a lease Depending on the specific nature of the sale and the land extensive site investigations may be undertaken prior to any sale being finalised

The Direct Sales Unit has approximately 60 direct sale applications currently being processed

In 2012-13 the Direct Sales Unit finalised 20 direct sales which resulted in the grant of either a Crown lease or an Executive lease

During the year direct sales of land managed by SLS included the following

bull Billabong Aboriginal Development Corporation for an outdoor education establishment in Belconnen

bull The Scout Association of Australia ACT Branch Incorporated in Yarralumla and

bull Bombell Barron Pty Ltd (ACT Skip Hire) in Hume

A number of Executive Leases to achieve community outcomes were also issued including

redevelopment of the former Downer Primary School and

finalising the sale of Block 799 to Exhibition Park in Canberra to facilitate the provision of low cost tourist accommodation

191


Strategic Land Release

Each year the ACT Government publishes its four-year Indicative Land Release Programs which set out the intended release of residential commercial industrial and community and non-urban land The Governmentrsquos objective is to meet demand for land and to establish an inventory of serviced land

The Programs are indicative as they are inevitably subject to change as market conditions alter as Government priorities are adjusted or as other commercial issues arise which can affect the finalisation of anticipated sales The Directorate is responsible for preparing the Programs in collaboration with other directorates

The Programs are a key input to

bull the Land Development Agencyrsquos Statement of Intent and land sales program

bull Treasuryrsquos estimate of land sales revenue

bull EDDrsquos capital works program and

bull ESDDrsquos land structure and concept planning and draft variations to the Territory Plan

The Indicative Land Release Programs for 2013-14 to 2016-17 are available on the Directoratersquos website at httpwwweconomicdevelopmentactgovauland

Future Directions

In 2013-14 SLS will

bull closely monitor demographic and property market indicators particularly changes to ACT based employment in the Commonwealth public service and impact on the demand for housing and office space

bull continue to identify sites to meet the needs of the tourist accommodation sector child care centres housing for aged persons and affordable housing options and

bull progress applications for the direct sale of land

bull undertake across-government coordination of complex delivery activities as requested by the Government or the Strategic Board

Further detail on a number of key projects undertaken by OCG in 2012-13 is provided below

Capital Metro Land Development

The urban renewal of Northbourne Avenue to support development and delivery of rapid transit between the Gungahlin Town Centre and the City was established as a priority in the 2012-13 Budget The Government announced its commitment to light rail as the preferred transit system in this corridor during the 2012 Election and it was reaffirmed in the Parliamentary Agreement for the 8th Legislative Assembly

Whilst the Gungahlin to City Project Office was originally established in the OCG and charged with delivery of this project the Capital Metro Agency has since been established to deliver the light rail component However the Office of the Coordinator-General has retained primary carriage of the land development and urban renewal for the light rail corridor This includes the preparation of a property strategy and indicative land release sequence for the corridor

The redevelopment of the Capital Metro corridor will be a major urban renewal project for Canberra and will deliver significant social economic and environmental benefits It will facilitate urban renewal at both the residential and commercial levels bringing about significant transit-oriented land use changes It will transform the ACT by integrating land use planning with existing or planned infrastructure to create revitalised centres provide greater access to public transport generate a range of housing and commercial opportunities and optimise land and infrastructure use in the ACT

Defence Land

In February 2013 the Directorate and the Commonwealth Department of Defence reshyestablished the land acquisition working group to investigate the Territoryrsquos interest in acquiring a number of surplus Defence land parcels within the ACT The OCG has been engaged in ongoing negotiations with the Department of Defence and will continue in 2013-14 to resolve the independent acquisition of a number of sites including Bonshaw West Majura and South Pialligo the Werriwa Defence Depot in the City North Lawson and Glenorie Drive Pialligo As part of these negotiations the OCG consults with other relevant ACT Government agencies when inter-agency matters arise

City to the Lake

The City to the Lake project provides a development framework for the broad southern flank of the City stretching from the West Basin to Anzac Parade including Canberra Olympic Pool the existing convention centre and large surface car parks The detailed development framework and infrastructure plan are consistent with Amendments 59 60 and 61 to the National Capital Plan which provides the strategic policy settings for the project

Preliminary analysis indicates that linking the City to the Lake is a viable urban development project that provides for early land release delivering high rates of return on public investment and economic and social benefits for the Territory The plan includes sites for a new multi-purpose stadium the Australia Forum and a new Civic Pool in order to lsquofuture proofrsquo the City

193


The City to the Lake project was launched for public consultation from March to May 2013 Early indications from the consultation are that there are high levels of support (approximately 71 per cent) for this project A consultation report is being prepared and will be considered by Government prior to deciding the next steps for the project

This project has also been awarded the 2013 Planning Institute of Australia Australian Award for Urban Design (AAUD) in the Policies Program and Concepts category

Gungahlin Strategic Assessment

Commonwealth environmental assessment under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 is required to be completed prior to the release of undeveloped land in the suburbs of Kenny Throsby Moncrieff Jacka Taylor and Kinlyside The OCG in partnership with the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate is currently pursuing a Strategic Assessment to cover the development areas for environmental assessment requirements under this Act Approval and endorsement from the Commonwealth of the Strategic Assessment will provide certainty to land development areas and conservation areas as well as provide direction to protect and enhance Matters of National Environmental Significance

Future Directions

In the coming year the Office of the Coordinator-General will continue to deliver some of the ACT Governmentrsquos highest priority projects as well as work with the private sector and Directorates to coordinate and facilitate proposals with high valuehigh complexity

Some of the key priorities for the Office in 2013-14 will be the preparation of an Estate Development Plan for City to the Lake and a Corridor Development Plan to leverage development opportunities in the Capital Metro corridor These are both important urban renewal projects that will mark a significant transformation of our city and stimulate economic activity

The Office will also continue to work with the private sector and Government agencies (both ACT and Commonwealth) to facilitate the release and sale of land including achieving the appropriate environmental clearances and planning requirements to enable significant economic investment in the Territory

It will also work across government to implement the commitments of the approved Gungahlin Strategic Assessment in order to protect matters of national environmental significance

B1 Community Engagement

As 2013 has been Canberras Centenary Year there has been an additional flurry of advertising and information dissemination of sporting and event activities as well as the usual engagement activities undertaken in relation to future land releases road works and other development associated activities As part of our commitment to building a better Canberra with the community the Directorate has stepped up its engagement activities to keep Canberrans more informed by using alternative tools such as Twitter and ensuring that information is provided in a timely manner as well as providing ongoing advice where required on matters of interest For example in relation to the demolition of the Macarthur Pre-school site a number of information letters were distributed to Macarthur residents during the period between the initial engagement and the sale of the land to keep residents advised of what was occurring on the site

B2 Internal and External Scrutiny

The Directorate has not had any scrutiny report developed or tabled by the ACT Ombudsman One ACT Auditor-Generalrsquos report was tabled during the reporting period that pertains to the Directorate as reported below

Further information about the actions of the Directoratersquos Audit Committee can be found in section C1 of this report

Recommendations Outcome of Inquiry

Response to the Outcome of Inquiry Implementation Status as at 30 June 2013

Auditor-Generalrsquos Report No 12012 Monitoring and minimising harm caused by Problem Gambling in the ACT

Recommendation 4 ACT Government opportunities to integrate activities

The ACT Gambling and Racing Commission and ACT Government agencies (such as the Health Community Services Education and Training and Economic Development Directorates) should identify opportunities for integrating their activities to minimise harm caused by problem gambling

Government Response Agreed

Sharing of knowledge has already occurred across some areas including education and community services Further coordination of stakeholder activity will be jointly coordinated by the Economic Development Directorate and the Commission

Ongoing implementation

EDD continues to liaise with the ACT Gambling and Racing Commission on a range of gaming and wagering policy and harm minimisation matters This will ensure that where appropriate there is a coordinated and integrated effort across agencies For example in relation to the possible development and delivery of any trial of mandatory pre-commitment for gaming machines

Recommendation 9 Set a time frame and strategy to reach the lower gaming machine cap

The ACT Government should set a time to achieve the 4000 gaming machine cap and implement strategies to meet the target

Government Response Not agreed

The Governmentrsquos view is that a prescriptive timetable to achieve the reduced cap would be unduly disruptive to the club sector Specifically such disruption may potentially affect the services enjoyed by members of clubs and the community activities that clubs currently support

The Government notes change already underway in the ACT club industry with many clubs wanting to diversify their sources of income a process which is likely to be accompanied by the continuing voluntary divestment of gaming machines by clubs

The Government did not agree with this recommendation and no further action has been taken

Recommendation Government Response Directorate Implementation

Recommendation 1

The Committee recommends that the ACT Government should consider introducing an interim electronic gaming machine trading scheme for period of up to two years

Government response Not agreed

The Government recognises that in some circumstances it would be desirable to enable the mobility of electronic gaming machines (EGMs) however it does not support the introduction of a trading scheme for licences at this time

The Government intends to address the mobility of EGMs through other mechanisms including allowing club groups to transfer EGMs between existing venues to new venues and allowing for the relocation of venues

From 1 January 2013 under amendments made by the Government to the Gaming Machine Act 2004 licensees have been able to apply for the relocation of EGMs from one venue to another where the licensee is the same body corporate for all relevant licences (this is referred to as a lsquomulti-venuersquo club) Multi-venue club groups may apply to the ACT Gambling and Racing Commission to relocate EGMs either as a lsquolarge-scale relocation amendmentrsquo or under a lsquosmall-scalersquo relocation amendment

In line with commitments contained in the inaugural Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Government and ClubsACT the Government is planning to release a discussion paper outlining options for how an EGM trading scheme could operate in the Territory The Government will take into account feedback received from the industry before determining whether to proceed with a scheme

Recommendation 2

The Committee recommends that within the first year of the operation of the interim electronic gaming machine trading scheme the ACT Government should establish a gaming machine management system that includes the following principles ndash to allow for gaming machines to be transferred between clubs relocated within club groups and transferred and traded between existing clubs andor new clubs which are not necessarily part of a club group

Government response Noted

While not supporting a trading scheme the regulatory framework proposed through the Gaming Machine Amendment Bill 2011 and further amendments would allow for the transfer or relocation of EGMs within club groups

The Gaming Machine Amendment Act 2012 (passed on 6 September 2012) allows for the transfer or relocation of EGMs within club groups under certain circumstances It also allows

bull new clubs and independent clubs to access a lsquopoolrsquo of EGMs (if available) to assist them establish new venues where the Government releases land suitable for new club sites and

bull allows clubs to potentially obtain in-principle regulatory approval ahead of future Government releases of sites suitable for new club venues

As outlined under Recommendation 1 the Government is planning to release a discussion paper for stakeholder comment regarding the possible development of an EGM trading scheme

Recommendation 3

The Committee recommends that in tandem with the introduction of an interim electronic gaming machine trading scheme that a


Government amendments to the Bill will allow for club groups to transfer EGMs between existing venues and to new venues

Amendments to facilitate the Governmentrsquos response were made to the Gaming Machine Act 2004 and passed by the Legislative Assembly on 6 September 2012

relocation scheme for multi-venue Provision will be made to clubs be introduced enable small scale relocations

between venues in club groups Specifically clubs will be able to relocate up to 10 EGMs to a venue or 10 of the receiving venuersquos existing total number of licences (whichever is the smaller number) in any given 12 month period without a social impact assessment or assessment of need being undertaken

Recommendation 4 Government response Noted Not applicable

The Committee recommends that the ACT Government

See response to Recommendation 1

comprehensively evaluate the interim electronic gaming machine trading scheme after 12 months of operation

Recommendation 5 Government response Agreed See response to Recommendation 3

The Committee recommends that the electronic gaming machine relocation scheme should

The Government will propose amendments to the Gaming Machine Amendment Bill 2011

set a threshold of a specified number of machines that require regulatory approval

whereby individual venues within club groups could receive no more than 10 machines or 10 of their existing total (whichever is the smaller number) from other venues in the same group during any given 12 month period without conducting social impact assessments or having need assessments undertaken

209



Recommendation 6

The Committee recommends that the ACT Government should commence as a matter of priority a review of the existing electronic gaming machine cap The review should commence immediately and a progress report be provided to the ACT Legislative Assembly by the second sitting Tuesday in August 2012

Government response Not Agreed

The Government has recently reviewed the appropriateness of the existing cap and determined that a long term cap of 4000 EGMs would be appropriate for the Territory after which a per capita-based cap system should be introduced

The Standing Committeersquos recommendation appears to be based on the view that reducing the number of gaming machines in the Territory will not reduce problem gambling harm The Governmentrsquos view is that the relationship between problem gambling harm and the number of gaming machines in a given geographic area is complex but that reducing the number of machines may potentially reduce harm as a complementary and precautionary measure within a broader range of initiatives Specifically reducing the number of EGMs in the Territory may potentially reduce the opportunities available for EGM gambling and consequential harm

Reducing the number of EGMs in the ACT would be consistent with the findings of the Productivity Commissionrsquos 2010 report on gambling

In line with commitments contained in the inaugural MoU between the Government and ClubsACT the Government has indicated it will conduct a review of the Gaming Machine Cap as recommended by the ACT Tax Review This review will inform future decision making in relation to the level at which the cap is set how to cater for growth of the ACT population and how reduction to that level can be achieved

Recommendation 7

The Committee recommends that amendment number 12 be deleted from the Gaming Machine Amendment Bill 2011 and not be reconsidered until such time as a review of the existing electronic gaming machine cap has been completed and reported to the ACT Legislative Assembly


The Government does not support the Standing Committeersquos proposed review of the existing cap

The Government intends to revise the sinking cap framework proposed within Amendment 12 of the November 2011 version of the Bill with amending provisions which will maintain a long term target of 4000 EGMs supplemented by a pool of 150 EGMs (within the sinking cap) available for release to new and independent clubs A shift to a per capita-based cap system after the achievement of a 4000 machine cap will also be proposed (with the details of the per capita-based system to be determined by a review once the 4000 machine target is reached)


The Gaming Machine Amendment Act 2012 allows that once the long-term target of 4000 EGMs in the ACT is reached a per capitabased cap system will be introduced with the details of this system to be determined by a review

211



Recommendation 8

The Committee recommends that where entities operating a small number of gaming machines can substantiate a case that the $250 ATM withdrawal limit will adversely affect other aspects of their business they should be able to apply to the ACT Gambling and Racing Commission for an exemption

Government response Agreed

The Government proposes to make amendments to the Bill to allow for exemptions from the ATM withdrawal limit for ATMs brought temporarily to the Canberra Racing Club for use on race days and to clubs operating 10 or fewer EGMs Venues operating only lsquoClass Brsquo machines (which are less sophisticated and which are believed to the less attractive to consumers relative to the lsquoClass Crsquo machines as typically found in clubs) will also be exempted

The Gaming Machine Amendment Act 2012 provides for a withdrawal limit of $250 per card per day for ATMs located at gaming machine premises subject to a number of identified exemptions including

bull a portable ATM that is located temporarily at the Canberra Racing Club on a day which a race is to be conducted

bull licensed premises if the licence authorises the operation of 20 or fewer gaming machines on the premises and

bull licensed premises if the licence authorises the operation of only lsquoclass Brsquo gaming machines

Amendments have been introduced into the Legislative Assembly to commence these provisions from 1 February 2014

In November 2012 the Commonwealth passed the National Gambling and Reform Act (NGRA) 2012 This Act commences on 1 February 2014 and contains similar withdrawal limits but does not recognise the exemptions contained in the ACT legislation

The ACT Government is working proactively with the Commonwealth to explore all opportunities for maintaining the exemptions in addition to addressing other inconsistencies between the Commonwealth and ACT legislation

Recommendation 9

The Committee recommends that the Gaming Machine Act 2004 be amended to allow for an exemption to the $250 ATM withdrawal limit under approval by the ACT Gambling and Racing Commission

Recommendation 10

The Committee recommends that the introduction of the $250 ATM withdrawal limit be aligned with the start time of the Commonwealth legislation as it relates to the withdrawal limit on ATM machines in gaming premises


The Government intends to amend the Gaming Machine Amendment Bill 2011 to allow the Minister for Racing and Gaming to determine a date for the commencement of the Territoryrsquos ATM withdrawal limit with a view to allowing for alignment with the commencement date of any parallel withdrawal limit created through Commonwealth legislation This arrangement would nonetheless allow the Territory to proceed should the Commonwealth not pass relevant legislation

Amendments have been introduced into the Legislative Assembly to align the start date of the withdrawal limit under the ACT legislation to 1 February 2014 (in line with the Commonwealth provisions)

213



Recommendation 11

The Committee recommends that the ACT Government should implement programs to address the root cause of problem gambling


The Government does not believe that there is a single identifiable lsquoroot causersquo of problem gambling as such and notes that the Standing Committee did not itself identify such a lsquoroot causersquo in its report In the absence of an identified lsquoroot causersquo the distinction made by the Standing Committee with lsquosymptomsrsquo is unclear

That said the Government does fund ongoing local research into gambling behaviours and bases its policy on both this research and relevant research conducted elsewhere This body of research typically gives consideration to the social and psychological characteristics of problem gamblers

To the extent that the lsquoroot causersquo of problem gambling might in general terms be seen as social disadvantage or exclusion it is salient that the Government funds a very wide range of programs to address these issues

As noted in its response to the Auditor-Generalrsquos recent report on Monitoring and minimising problem gambling harm in the ACT the Government is also committed to a whole-of-government approach to the issue and will ensure further coordination across the activities of relevant agencies

The ACT Gambling and Racing Commission (the Commission) is required to monitor and research the social effects of gambling and problem gambling and this is achieved through a range of activities and strategies including its research agreement with the Australian National University that establishes the Centre for Gambling Research The Commission is also part of Gambling Research Australia which is a national research body established by a previous Ministerial Council to undertake relevant research tasks on a national basis

Problem Gambling awareness material and relevant links are available on the ACT Gambling and Racing Commission website and its specific Problem Gambling website This material is updated regularly

The Problem Gambling Assistance Fund which is administered by the Commission provides assistance in relation to problem gambling such as the provision of counselling and support services undertaken under contract by Mission Australia education and research activities

Recommendation 12

The Committee recommends that the ACT Gambling and Racing Commission should amend the ACT Gambling Code of Practice to detail that the practice of reserving gaming machines should be regulated


The Gambling and Racing Commission has commenced a review of the mandatory Code of Practice The review will cover the issue of reserving gaming machines and will consider research evidence as well as stakeholder submissions

The Commission is currently finalising its review into the Code of Practice Extensive consultation has occurred with industry stakeholders The final report to the Minister is due before the end of 2013

Recommendation 13

The Committee recommends that the online exclusion database be in operation by 31 December 2012

Government response Agreed-in-principle

The Gambling and Racing Commission has commenced development work on introducing an online exclusion database Indications are that the IT work required and the consequent amendments to the Code of Practice to implement the requirements will see the database commencing operation during 2013

Following an investigation into the options for providing an online exclusion database the Commission conducted a public tender process for the development of a database specifically designed for the ACTrsquos needs This database is close to being finalised and it is expected that it will be operational later in 2013 following licensee training

Recommendation 14

The Committee recommends that the ACT Government take into account the findings and recommendations of the ACT Auditor-General as detailed in Auditor-General lsquos Report No 1 Monitoring and minimising harm caused by problem gambling as part of any proposed amendments to the Gaming Machine Act 2004


The Governmentrsquos response to this report of the Auditor-General has been sent to the Standing Committee The Government agreed with all of the Auditor-Generalrsquos recommendations excepting the suggestion that a fixed timetable be set for the achievement of a 4000 EGM cap The Governmentrsquos view is that a prescriptive timetable to achieve the reduced cap would be unduly disruptive to the club sector Specifically such disruption may potentially affect the services enjoyed by members of clubs and the community activities that clubs currently support

See response to Recommendation 6 in relation to the proposed review of the Gaming Machine Cap

The Commission has commenced (or finalised) work on implementing all of the recommendations other than Recommendation 9 which the Government did not agree to

Recommendation 8

The Committee recommends that the supermarket Gross Floor Area limit for each local centre should be individually specified given the differing size of local centres as they were originally developed

Government Response Noted No further action required

The identification of individualised supermarket floor area limits for each of Canberrarsquos 83 local centres would require a substantial and ongoing commitment of resources that in the Governmentrsquos view would not deliver a commensurate public benefit

Instead the Government intends to introduce a general local centre supermarket floor area limit (as per the response to Recommendation 7) whilst allowing for the possible introduction of centre-specific controls through the development of precinct codes covering individual local centres if appropriate

Recommendation 9

The Committee recommends that the supermarket Gross Floor Area limit prescribed for a local centre take into account the distance between the local centre and the nearest group centre


See the response to Recommendation 8

Recommendation 10

The Committee recommends that the current provisions of the Territory Plan and Local Centre Development Code be reviewed to determine an exact definition of Gross Floor Area as currently applied to both supermarkets and other grocery and convenience stores in the ACT

Government Response Agreed-in-principle ESDD will be actioning the Governmentrsquos response It is believed that DV 304 responds to through Draft Variation 304 to the Committeersquos intention in making this the Territory Plan recommendation through proposing to control floor

area through a new concept - lsquonet selling arearsquo - that will complement the use of lsquogross floor arearsquo as a measure

221



Recommendation 11 Government Response Agreed-in-principle ESDD will be actioning the

The Committee recommends that supermarket Gross

Floor Area be calculated this recommendation according to the whole area of a business accessible by the consumer but not include areas inaccessible by consumers such as loading docks administrative areas and food preparation packing and storage areas


The Committee As discussed previously the SCPIP will no longer recommends that a be maintained by the Government However the small business impact Government recognises the importance of small statement is undertaken businesses within local centres and elsewhere and for similar businesses believes that the new controls on the maximum in a geographic area size of local centre supermarkets proposed by affected by a supermarket DV 304 will effectively support the viability of such proposal under the ACT businesses Supermarket Competition Policy Implementation Plan


The Committee See the response to Recommendation 12 recommends that the small business impact statement referred to in Recommendation 12 should be paid for by the proponent of a proposal be independently commissioned by ACTPLA and be open to public comment

The Committee While no longer maintaining a formalised recommends that the ACT supermarket competition policy the Government Government provide an continues to be willing to consider providing update on the situation support to any proposals that would credibly for the introduction of an increase competition within the grocery wholesaling additional wholesaler in market in the Territory Although discussions have the ACT previously been held with interested parties on

this topic these have not progressed to the stage where Government support through for example the direct sale of land might be provided

It is noted that the opening of a Costco outlet at the Canberra Airport offers a new option to consumers seeking to purchase many types of groceries in larger quantities Supabarn is also understood to have recently commenced new wholesaling operations in support of its various ACT and NSW supermarkets and which also supplies several independent operators across Canberra who have re-branded as lsquoSupa Expressrsquo outlets

Standing Committee on Public Review of Auditor-Generalrsquos Report 22 August 2012 Accounts - Report 26 No 2 of 2011 Residential Land

Supply and Development


Recommendation 1

The Committee recommends that the ACT Government simplify the arrangements and the number of agencies involved in the delivery of land in the ACT

Government Position Agreed

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Directors-General of Economic Development Directorate (EDD) and the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate (ESDD) was signed on 24 February 2012

Following the Governmentrsquos agreement to new governance arrangements for the Directorate in July 2011 a Statement of Governance Arrangements for the Land Development Agency (LDA) an Annual Statement of Government Policy and a MoU between the Directorate and LDA were finalised

These new arrangements have simplified responsibilities between the Directorate the LDA and ESDD and have reduced duplication of work

Completed

Recommendation 2

The Committee recommends to the extent that work is not already taking place that the Land Development Agency make available better defined land release targets and measures that provide more accurate information on the status of land release and supply of lsquoshovel-readyrsquo land for building activity


The annual Land Release Program publication now includes commentary on demand drivers and the rationale behind the land release targets including analysis of property market conditions The Directorate also publishes (on a quarterly basis) a Residential Land and Building Activity Report which details the supply of land and dwellings within the land servicing and dwelling construction process

Implementation of this recommendation is ongoing

225



Recommendation 3

The Committee recommends that the ACT Government establish a land bank with a minimum of 2000 lsquoshovel-readyrsquo blocks of various sizes to be available at all times

Government Position Agreed-in-part

While the ACT Government is committed to establishing an inventory of serviced land further work is required to determine the level at which this inventory should be maintained

Preliminary analysis suggests that a much smaller inventory than that suggested by the committee would be appropriate given the costs associated with establishing and maintaining this inventory

Additional work has been carried out on determining an appropriate inventory of serviced land in the context of ongoing demand The Directoratersquos Demand and Supply model was signed off by all ACT Government agencies in March 2013 and included a recommended serviced land inventory of 500 blocks The Government has continued to release land in an effort to satisfy pent up demand and build this inventory over 2013-14 and in future years

Recommendation 4

The Committee recommends that the ACT Government ensure that the Land Development Agency establish quarterly targets for over-the-counter sales and report quarterly to the ACT Legislative Assembly on these sales

Government Position Not Agreed

Targets for land release are currently set out through annual Indicative Land Release Programs However in the interest of maintaining flexibility and a capacity to respond to changing market conditions and other factors beyond the ACT Governmentrsquos control (such as Commonwealth environmental clearance processes) it is the Governmentrsquos intention to move to a four-year rolling program with six-monthly reviews

Land is released to market through englobo and private sector releases through joint ventures and via LDA estates In recent years LDA estates have generally been released through ballots and by auction however there have also been instances where over the counter sales have occurred As the LDA begins to establish an inventory of serviced land over the counter sales are likely to become more common However and again in the interest of maintaining flexibility the Government does not support establishing and reporting against a target for these sales

The Government did not agree with this recommendation

Recommendation 5 Government Position Agreed Implementation of this

The Committee Where possible the LDA is already conducting recommendation is ongoing

recommends that in over-the-counter sales accordance with the Affordable Housing Action Plan the ACT Government conduct regular over-the-counter sales for blocks from Land Development Agency estates

Recommendation 6 Government Position Agreed in-principle As part of the development of

The Committee recommends to the extent that work has not already taken place that the ACT Government ensure that

As noted in the Government response additional financial indicators around the different methods of land release (ie LDArsquos own estates joint ventures and englobo land sales) were incorporated in the LDArsquos 2011-12 Annual Report

2013-14 LDA SOI the financial KPIrsquos were reviewed and it was concluded that the existing KPIs comprehensively covered LDArsquos financial performance

the Land Development Agencyrsquos Statement of Intent is appropriately amended to establish and

The inclusion of further financial indicators in the Statement of Intent (SOI) will be considered in the context of the development 2013-14 SOI

report against financial KPIs that cover the Land Development Agencyrsquos specific performance and achievements


The Committee The LDA now regularly incorporates latest recommendation is ongoing

recommends that the ACT benchmark data into Project Business Plans for all Government ensure that major land estates Independent cost estimates the Land Development are sought prior to procuring significant civil works Agency establishes a Benchmark data is also gathered from both LDA robust independent completed estates Joint Venture projects and process to benchmarking intelligence gathered from industry networks its development costs as through the Government Land Organisations All required by the Affordable procurements are undertaken in accordance with Housing Action Plan the Procurement Act which requires open and

competitive processes to ensure best value for money

Recommendation 8 Government Position Agreed Completed

The Committee The University of New South Wales report has been recommends that the ACT placed on the Treasury website Government table in the ACT Legislative Assembly by the last sitting day in August 2012 the review of the Land Rent Scheme by the University of New South Wales

227



Recommendation 9

The Committee recommends that the ACT Government should conduct a two-year post implementation review of the taxation reform measuremdashphasing out of conveyance duty This should specifically consider the impact of this principal reform measure and associated measures on residential land supply and development

Government Position Noted No immediate further action is requiredThe phasing out of conveyance duty is a 20 year

reform The 2012-13 Budget only contained the conveyance duty rates and thresholds for the first five years of reform

The reform will be undertaken slowly Reducing the tax rates gradually over a longer timeframe will minimise any impact of this reform on the Territoryrsquos housing market

Any response to this recommendation will need to be considered over a longer timeframe The Government will continue to monitor the Territoryrsquos housing market over the long term

C3 Public Interest Disclosure

Public Interest Disclosure (PID) Procedures

During the 2012-13 reporting year two different pieces of legislation were in place to regulate public interest disclosures (PIDs) also known as lsquowhistle-blowingrsquo The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1994 provided a vehicle for any members of the public including ACT public servants to report wrongdoing in the ACT public sector and provided rights and protection to persons who reported wrongdoing Under that piece of legislation in early September 2012 the Directorate prepared a guidance document setting out the procedures that the Directorate would use to receive investigate and manage a public interest disclosure This document was placed on the Directoratersquos website and promulgated to all staff via email

The new Public Interest Disclosure Act 2012 (the Act) commenced on 1 February 2013 and improves on the previous legislation by broadening and clarifying the types of wrongdoing that fall within the definition of disclosable conduct establishing a clear reporting pathway for the receipt and handling of disclosures and providing specific circumstances under which a disclosure can be made to a third party

As required under the Act the Commissioner for Public Administrationrsquos office prepared Public Interest Disclosure Guidelines 2013 (the Guidelines) to assist ACT Public Sector entities to meet their obligations under the new legislation The Guidelines are a notifiable instrument (NI2013-40) which came into effect on 7 June 2013

The Act also requires the Directorate to publish specific procedures detailing how PIDs will be managed The procedures must detail how the Directorate will meet the obligations to protect disclosers and how the Directorate will assess and manage the risk of reprisals against people who make a PID or are involved or implicated in a PID The procedures must align with the Commissioner for Public Administrationrsquos guidelines The Directoratersquos procedures are currently being finalised

PID Statistics

During the 2012-13 reporting year the Directorate was referred one complaint from the Commissioner for Public Administration Careful consideration was given to the complaint to assess whether it constituted a public interest disclosure The outcome of the assessment was that the complaint did not amount to a public interest disclosure for the purposes of the Act The complainant was advised accordingly

2 Technical Refusal refers to requests in which the Directorate holds no documents within the scope of the applicantrsquos request

C11 Human Rights Act 2004

The Human Rights Act 2004 is part of the governmentrsquos commitment to build a human rights culture in the ACT and to ensure that Territory managers are working within a human rights framework All public officials have a duty to interpret the legislation under which they operate consistently with human rights unless the Territory law clearly authorizes otherwise

The Directorate continued to actively work towards creating a positive work culture with ongoing promotion of the Respect Equity and Diversity (RED) initiative Mandatory training for RED continues with all new staff (including Management and Executive level staff) participating in a variety of RED training courses outwardly promoting core human rights principles During the 2012-13 financial year ninety-seven staff participated in RED training The Human Rights Commission and other ACT Public Service Directorate brochures and publications outlining human rights are available to staff and the rights and obligations under the Human Rights Act 2004 are included in new starter induction packages

Business Development released two websites to meet the requirements of the ACT Government endorsed Web Accessibility National Transition Strategy The first website released in July 2012 at wwwcanberrayourfuturecomau caters to the information needs of potential skilled and business migrants to Canberra The second was the business sector focused redeveloped wwwbusinessactgovau website released in March 2013 All Directorate web managers continue to work towards Web Content Accessibility Guidelines compliance

The Cabinet Handbook requires that all Cabinet Submissions must provide details of any human rights implications The Government agreed that from 1 March 2013 triple bottom line (TBL) assessments be incorporated into all Cabinet submissions proposing policy changes One of the TBL requirements is for an assessment of the social impacts including an evaluation of the proposalrsquos impact on the Human Rights Act 2004

During 2012-13 approximately 42 Cabinet submissions were prepared which included the consideration of human rights issues In relation to the Gaming Machine Amendment Bill 2011 the Scrutiny of Bills Committee identified that human rights may be impacted by the imposition of a $250 per day card limit however the Committee did not identify a particular human right The Government subsequently responded that although arguable whether the Human Rights Act 2004 could be construed in such a way to the extent that a withdrawal limit would engage human rights the limit was considered proportionate and reasonable and an appropriate harm reduction measure - referring to a Productivity Commission Report of 2010 into gambling recommending such a limit

Three Human Rights compatibility statements were issued on new legislative proposals during the reporting period requiring consultation with the Human Rights Co-ordination and Scrutiny Group of the Justice and Community Safety Directorate

During the year the Directorate was not involved in any litigation which involved human rights issues

C17 Records Management

The records of the ACT Government are an important resource for Canberra residents and government officials alike Records may provide proof of a particular action and provide evidence support and transparency of Government decisions which can be invaluable to the progress of Territory business

Records management emphasises the value of knowledge and information as a resource A structured approach to recordsrsquo creation retention and status yields faster retrieval of needed information Faster and easier access frees Directorate staff from searching for information and allows them the time to devote to other tasks The life cycle extends from the time records are received or created through processing and use to placement in storage and retrieval systems until eventual destruction or permanent archival retention

The Directoratersquos records come in many formats including documents maps plans drawings costumes artworks models crown leases investigation reports medical profiles athlete training programs documents supporting football matches and maintaining stadiums Regardless of the format records are as valuable now as they have ever been for telling a story about the agencyrsquos work and giving context to each task

The bedding down of the Directorate out of several agencies and the resulting extent of the Directoratersquos functional change has required significant effort to develop a new Records Management Program (RMP) The RMP is currently with senior executives for approval Until the new program is approved and published the Directorate continues to follow the Land Development Agencyrsquos (LDA) RMP

The revised policy and procedures along with instructions will be made available to staff via the Directoratersquos intranet with the Records Management Policy being made available on the Directoratersquos website

Training

An ongoing in-house training program run by the Governance section is in place to train all staff in basic Records Management policy and procedures including ongoing individual support as required This financial year saw 84 Directorate staff undertake an in-house course in Information and Records Management bringing the total number of staff trained since the inception of the training program (December 2011) to 124

The Directorate uses an in-house TRIM database as its record keeping system To support TRIM a Power User network was created to manage the creation and movement of hard copy files This network is then supplemented with a TRIM Action Tracking Team which consists of executives and their assistants who manage all approval processes electronically in TRIM including any Ministerial matters for or by the Directorate A separate training session and ongoing support is also provided to these staff members this year 19 staff were trained in TRIM Power User and Ministerial Action Tracking

In addition to the Whole-of-Government Thesaurus and Disposal Schedules which are used to manage retention length and disposal of administrative records agency specific records are managed in accordance with the below notifiable instruments

Records legally disposed of 156 347

The search parameters used for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 data are different As a result the record creation numbers reported in the 2011-12 EDD Annual Report are disproportionally higher than the 2012-13 numbers above

The data above is inclusive of records created by or for EDD LDA ACT Gambling and Racing Commission and the Exhibition Park Corporation (EPC) as all of these agencies utilise a shared TRIM database 2012-13 data shows a shift towards more electronic documents needing approval being registered into TRIM The decrease in the number of hard copy files is a reflection of the fall in the number of bulk order files for new land development and sales files and new staff files

Access to records

In accordance with the Territory Records Act 2002 (the Act) the Directorate has an arrangement in place to preserve records containing information that allow people to establish links with their Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage The Directorate does not expect that any of its records will contain information that may allow people to establish links with their Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage however if such a record is created received or identified the Directorate will endorse the record with the notation lsquoFile contains records with Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage information ndash Do Not Destroyrdquo

327


Public Access provisions of the Act allow access to records that are more than 20 years old In 2012-13 the portfolio received four (4) separate public access requests for records and information compared to three (3) in 2011-12

Members of the public can seek access to the Directoratersquos records by contacting

Postal Address GPO Box 158 Canberra City ACT 2601

Phone Contact Numbers Reference Archivist (Government records) +61 2 6207 5726

Email to archivesactgovau

Under section 28 of the Act the Directorate may apply to the Director of Territory Records to make a declaration to exempt certain records or classes of records from public access under prescribed provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 1989 Access to a record to which a declaration applies is prohibited under the Act

In compliance with section 30 of the Act the Directorate maintains an approved register of section 28 declarations which is incorporated into the Territory Records Office consolidated version (available for government use on their intranet site)

At present there are two disposal freezes that are relevant to the Directorate The aim of a disposal freeze on records is to minimise the risk of losing crucial evidence at or around the time when an issue has been identified They are

bull The Federal Post Cornwell Superannuation Case Litigation - Processing of Additional Claims Instruction 23 ndash TRO Records Advice No 59 Records Disposal Freeze ndash Superannuation Records 2010-2015 and

bull Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse - Territory Records (Records Disposal Schedule - Protection of records relevant to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse) Approval 2013 (No 1)

The Directorate will continue to retain records identified under the disposal freezes until the litigation and commission come to an end and the disposal freezes are lifted

C19 Ecologically Sustainable Development

The Directorate strives to embed sustainable practices throughout the organisation In March 2013 the Directorate finalised its first Resource Management Plan (RMP) The ACT Governments Action Plan 2 updates the Territorys 2007 Climate Change Strategy Weathering the Change Under this strategy all directorates are required to have an RMP to identify cost saving opportunities help monitor energy and water use monitor and manage waste production and reduce overall environmental impacts For more information on the RMP see section C20

The Directorate is also committed to protecting the environment and to ecologically sustainable development All capital works undertaken in Molonglo are undertaken consistent with the commitments made by the Territory in the Molonglo Valley Plan for the Protection of Matters of National Environmental Significance (NES Plan) Regular meetings are held with the Commonwealth Department of Sustainability Environment Water Population and Communities and to date all milestones have been met The Directorate is closely monitoring the impacts of its projects on areas of pink tailed worm lizard and yellow box redgum woodland to ensure that the total impact does not exceed areas allowed in the NES Plan

In addition environmental controls are implemented on all projects to ensure impact on the surrounding environment is minimised Stormwater measures consistent with water sensitive urban design guidelines are implemented to minimise the impact of works on downstream receiving waters

In 2012-13 the Gungahlin Strategic Assessment was undertaken to address development that has been identified as having impact on matters of national environmental significance The Gungahlin Strategic Assessment and Biodiversity Plan provides a commitment to protect (Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act) species and ecological communities including box-gum woodland natural temperate grasslands golden sun moth striped legless lizard and superb parrot As part of the commitments the ACT Government is required to form a Plan Implementation Team to oversee and facilitate the approval Further activities related to the commitments of the Gungahlin Strategic Assessment and Biodiversity Plan will be undertaken as required

The following table shows resource usage across the Directorate for the 2012-13 year Detailed explanatory notes are provided at the end of the table

C20 Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Policies and Programs

The following policies and programs were developed and implemented during the year to address climate change greenhouse gas emissions and the targets set out in Part 2 of the Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act 2010

Resource Management Plan

The ACT Governmentrsquos Action Plan 2 (AP2) updates the Territoryrsquos 2007 Climate Change Strategy Weathering the Change The strategy is based on a vision that by 2060 the ACT will become a sustainable and carbon neutral city AP2 provides a pathway to achieve the Territoryrsquos legislated 2020 greenhouse gas reduction targets and a set of actions to progress the strategy to its next review point in 2015

Achieving carbon neutrality is the collective responsibility of all ACT Government Directorates All Directorates are required to develop Resource Management Plans to identify cost saving opportunities help monitor energy and water use monitor and manage waste production and reduce overall environmental impacts

In March 2013 the first Resource Management Plan (RMP) for the Economic Development Directorate portfolio (the portfolio) including the Land Development Agency ACT Gambling and Racing Commission and the Exhibition Park Corporation was finalised The RMP signals the Directoratersquos intent to incorporate the principles of sustainability into all aspects of its operations

The EDD Portfolio RMP will be integrated into corporate processes and is intended to be updated annually to reflect progress made and to monitor and create new goals as required

The RMP examines energy water and waste consumption and the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from these uses The RMP also identifies strategies and actions to be undertaken within portfolio operations that aim to

1 reduce energy consumption and in turn reduce GHG emissions

2 reduce water use

3 reduce waste and improve recycling streams

4 reduce GHG emissions from transport and encourage alternate and active transport options

5 increase the use of sustainable goods and services and sustainable procurement processes and

6 ensure EDD portfolio events and promotions focus on sustainability

It is the responsibility of all portfolio staff and contractors to ensure that the strategies and actions as outlined within the RMP are implemented As at the end of the reporting year an EDD portfolio Sustainability Team was established to oversee the reporting monitoring and implementation of the RMP The group includes representatives from office locations across the portfolio
