Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 5 Hansard (10 May) . . Page.. 1379 ..
MR HUMPHRIES: I thank members. I have tabled an instrument pursuant to section 14 of the act and a statement of reasons for the transfer of funds between appropriations by direction of the executive. Transfers under the Financial Management Act allow for changes to appropriations throughout the year within the appropriation limit passed by the Assembly.
This instrument relates to the 1999-2000 financial year and is tabled in the Assembly within three sitting days of the authorisation as required by the act. This instrument provides for a transfer of funds, for the amount of $1.7 million, within the Department of Education and Community Services from the government payment for outputs funding type to a capital injection. This appropriation was originally provided in 1998-1999 to the Department of Education and Community Services for provision by way of a grant to the Canberra District Rugby League Club for the provision of rugby league facilities. It is now proposed that these facilities be provided at the CIT's Bruce campus oval. The original appropriation will lapse and be returned to budget.
Financing for these facilities will now be provided through the transfer of identified savings within the Department of Education and Community Services through a capital injection appropriation which will be on-passed to the Canberra Institute of Technology to finance the capital works project.
The attached instrument transfers $1.7 million of savings against the appropriation relating to superannuation from DECS government payment for outputs to their capital injection to enable the funds to be on-passed to the CIT. I commend this paper to the Assembly.
MR HUMPHRIES (Treasurer, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Community Safety): For the information of members, I present the following paper:
Financial Management Act, pursuant to section 16-An instrument directing a transfer of authority for a function between departments, including a statement of reasons, dated 24 April 2000.
I seek leave to make a short statement.
Leave granted.
MR HUMPHRIES: I thank members. Transfers under the Financial Management Act 1996 allow for changes to appropriations throughout the year within the appropriation limit passed by the Assembly. This instrument provides for the transfer of the appropriation of $3,913,000 for youth justice services from the Department of Education and Community Services to the Department of Justice and Community Safety. This transfer is a result of the administrative arrangements order changes of 23 August 1999 relating to the transfer of Quamby and youth justice services to the Department of Justice and Community Safety. I commend the paper to the Assembly.
