Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1998 Week 11 Hansard (10 December) . . Page.. 3545 ..

to achieve greater accuracy and accountability at cost centre level, the Bureau is developing cost estimates for all aspects of expenditure. The aim is to derive accurate employee and administrative expense allocations at each cost centre. This is in effect, a zero based budget process and is still being negotiated internally within the Bureau due to complications related to the allocation of expenditure on relief components. The process should be completed in early January 1999. The current iteration relating to the Fire Brigade Operations and Operational Development cost centres is provided in response to the member's question.
