Accordingly, at present with the existing lease and the agreement reached with the Prime Minister, the Territory has effective control through to the year 2024.
2) The Department of Treasury & Infrastructure commenced pursuing the extension to the lease with the Australian Sports Commission, amending the existing lease in line with the Prime Minister's offer of lease over a 30 year period.
The final lease documentation has been prepared and is awaiting review by the Australian Sports Commission. Pending any proposed changes to the lease it should be executed shortly.
MS CARNELL: In question time on 7, 8 and 9 December, Mr Corbell and Mr Hargreaves asked questions regarding executive entitlements. I have answers to each of the members, Mr Speaker. I now ask for leave to have the answers incorporated in Hansard.
Leave granted.
The answers read as follows:
Over recent weeks a number of questions without notice, as well as questions on notice, have been asked regarding Executive entitlements, particularly in relation to temporary accommodation allowance and related matters.
To assist members I will, in answering these questions without notice taken on notice, endeavour to provide a full and comprehensive overview of the various entitlements, their historical and legislative basis and their appropriateness.
To understand the history and background of these entitlements it is necessary to go back to the links the ACT Public Service (ACTPS) had with the Australian Public Service (APS). Before 1 July 1994, when the ACTPS was established, all of our public servants were APS employees.
The conditions applying to SES Officers, in the old APS terminology, were set by APS Determination No 46 of 1984 (46/84). Relevant allowances were provided where an SES officer was on temporary transfer for a fixed term, ie in all circumstances similar to our contract Executives, who are engaged as a temporary employee for a fixed term (of up to 5 years). A copy of that Determination is Attachment A .
This Determination set a range of allowances and entitlements for term transfers, or taking up a permanent position in a different locality. A different determination and entitlements applied to non-SES staff.
These Determinations were simplified and applied to the new ACTPS as part of the Public Sector Management Standards from 1 July 1994.
