Section 16—Directing a transfer of appropriations from the—

Community Services Directorate to the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate, dated 30 April 2014.

Cultural Facilities Corporation to the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate, dated 30 April 2014.

Health Directorate to the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate, dated 17 April 2014.

Pursuant to section 18A—Authorisation of Expenditure from the Treasurer’s Advance to the Capital Metro Agency, dated 30 April 2014.

I ask leave to make a statement in relation to the papers.

Leave granted.

MR BARR: As required by the Financial Management Act 1996, I table eight instruments issued under sections 14, 15, 16 and 18 of the FMA. Advice on each instrument’s direction and a statement of reasons must be tabled in the Assembly within three sitting days after it is given. Subsections 1 and 2 of section 16 of the FMA allow the Treasurer to authorise the transfer of appropriation for a service or function to another entity. I present three section 16 instruments today, all in relation to the carbon neutral fund.

The first instrument transfers $212,000 in net cost of outputs appropriation from the Health Directorate to the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate. The second instrument transfers $5,000 in net cost of outputs appropriation from the Cultural Facilities Corporation to the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate. The third instrument transfers $13,000 in net cost of outputs appropriation from the Community Services Directorate to the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate.

Section 14 of the FMA allows for the transfer of funds between appropriations as endorsed by myself and another minister. I present three section 14 instruments today. Again, all of these are in relation to the carbon neutral fund. The first instrument transfers $212,000 from the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate’s net cost of outputs appropriation to a capital injection controlled appropriation.

The second instrument transfers $5,000 from the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate’s net cost of outputs to its capital injection, controlled, appropriation. The third instrument transfers $13,000 from the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate’s net cost of outputs to its capital injection, controlled, appropriation.

Section 15 of the FMA states that the executive may, in writing, direct that funds within the same appropriation that are allocated for the provision of different classes of outputs be reallocated in relation to those classes of outputs. I present one such instrument under section 15 today, which transfers $4.479 million in net costs of outputs appropriation for the Chief Minister and Treasury Directorate from output class 2 to output class 1, for the establishment of the digital Canberra fund to undertake initiatives to promote Canberra as a digital city.
