• $50,000 for the relocation of fit-outs of levels 2 and 3 of the annexe in Macarthur House. The delay was due mainly to the extended completion of the Department of Education and Training’s level 1 fit-out at 220 Northbourne. DECCEW was unable to complete its minor fit-out work pending the relocation of DET staff; and
• $888,000 for the renewable energy technology showcase. The original technology that was selected for the project was found to be unsuitable, given the nature of the intended site, and further studies were required to determine the most appropriate solution.
The rollover of $679,000 for DECCEW in recurrent funding includes:
• $90,000 for the solar facility. This project has been the subject of significant community engagement and procurement processes, pushing the delivery time past the end of the financial year;
• $150,000 for the feed-in tariff. The selection of the consultants to complete the financial modelling for stage 2 of the feed-in tariff—stage 2 took longer than expected;
• $121,000 for the switch your thinking programs which is the result of a slower than expected uptake from the private sector of the commercial bathroom retrofit program;
• $50,000 for environmental grants, which results from the difference in timing of the grants approval process and the disbursement of the grant funding; and
• $268,000 for the Office of the Commissioner for Sustainability and the Environment, which has to be carried over in recognition of the time frames required to prepare the State of the environment report.
Details relating to these and all remaining rollovers are provided in the instrument. I commend the paper to the Assembly.
