MR STANHOPE: Mr Speaker, as required by the Financial Management Act 1996, I have tabled an instrument issued under section 14 of the act. The associated statement of reasons for the instrument must be tabled in the Assembly within three sitting days after it is given. This transfer between appropriations under section 14 of the Financial Management Act 1996 involves the transfer of $369,000 of government payment for outputs relating to unspent grant funding for capital injections in the Chief Minister’s Department to manage unexpected costs of the Canberra glassworks project. The detail of the instrument can be found within the tabled package. I commend the paper to the Assembly.
I have also tabled an instrument issued under section 15 of the Financial Management Act 1996 and the corresponding statement of reasons. The attached instrument transfers government payment for outputs of $471,000 between output classes within the Shared Services Centre. This transfer moves publishing and records management services from output class 4: finance services to output class 1: InTACT. The realignment of the output class structure within the Shared Services Centre reflects InTACT’s responsibility for the delivery of these services.
Mr Speaker, I also note that the Shared Services Centre commenced on time a week ago, and has begun its initial operations as a significant change and reform to ACT government service delivery and management. I look forward very much to its continued operations and success as a very important part of our last budget and the decisions that we have taken to adjust the structure of ACT government service delivery. I commend this paper to the Assembly.
Mr Speaker, as required by the Financial Management Act 1996, I have also tabled an instrument issued under section 18A of the act. The direction and a statement of reasons for the instrument must be tabled in the Assembly within three sittings days after it is given. This instrument provides funding of $77,490 to the Chief Minister’s Department to meet rental payments to Dytin Pty Ltd for the period 1 January to 31 March 2007. Provision of this funding is consistent with the Narrabundah Long Stay Caravan Park land swap agreement entered into by the government and Dytin Pty Ltd on 11 August 2006. I commend this instrument to the Assembly.
