MR STANHOPE: The government passed amendments to the Financial Management Act 1996 in May 2007 to provide for a new provision, section 16B, rollover of undispersed appropriations, which allows appropriations to be preserved from one financial year to the next, as outlined in instruments signed by the Treasurer.
As required by the act, I table a copy of authorisations made to rollover undispersed appropriations from 2006-07 to 2007-08. This package includes 13 instruments signed under section 16B. The appropriation being rolled was not dispersed during 2006-07 and is still required in 2007-08 for the completion of the projects identified in the individual instruments.
The instruments authorised $23.681 million in rollovers, comprising $3.744 million of net cost of outputs; $2.444 million on behalf of the territory and $17.493 million of capital injection. These rollovers have been made as the appropriation clearly relates to the project funds and where commitments have clearly been entered into but cash not yet used. These include, for example, capital works projects or initiatives which timing of delivery has changed or delayed; where outstanding contractual or pending claims exist; or where grants remain unpaid pending recipients meeting milestones.
