MS GALLAGHER: Section 16B of the Financial Management Act allows for appropriations to be preserved from one financial year to the next, as outlined in instruments signed by me as Treasurer. As required, I table a copy of the recent authorisation made to roll over undisbursed appropriation from 2008-09 to 2009-10.
The instrument authorises a total of $10.755 million in rollovers for the Department of Education and Training, including: $2.426 million net cost of outputs; $908,000 payments on behalf of the territory; and $7.421 million of capital injection appropriations. These rollovers have been made as the appropriation clearly relates to project funds or where commitments have been entered into but the related cash is not yet required or expended during the year of appropriation.
The rollovers of net cost of outputs include $2.2 million to on-pass additional commonwealth government national school specific purpose payments, which was received in late 2008-09, and $226,000 to maintain the teacher professional development program. The rollover for payments on behalf of the territory includes $908,000 to relocate the remaining funds in the interest subsidy scheme with the non-government school sector. The capital injection rollover of $7.421 million is made up of various projects that were delayed in 2008-09. This is partly offset by other projects that have been accelerated.
Specific details regarding these rollovers are included in the instrument. I commend the paper to the Assembly.
