Sections 16(1) and (2) of the act allow me as Treasurer to authorise the transfer of appropriation for a service or a function to another entity following a change in responsibility for that service or function.

This package includes one instrument signed under section 16. The instrument facilitates the transfer of $10,000 in net cost of outputs appropriation for the city centre marketing and improvements levy from the Department of Territory and Municipal Services to the Department of Land and Property Services.

Section 16B of the act allows for appropriations to be preserved from one financial year to the next. The appropriation being rolled over was not spent during 2009-10 and is still required in 2010-11 for the completion of the program or project identified in the instrument.

The first 16B instrument authorises a total of $2.28 million in rollovers for the Chief Minister’s Department comprising $1.071 million of recurrent appropriation and $1.209 million of capital injection—departmental—appropriation.
