Government—office leases
(Question No 747)

Mrs Dunne asked the Minister for the Arts and Heritage, upon notice, on 24 March 2010:

In relation to office leases, for each agency within the Minister’s portfolio, including the Cultural Facilities Corporation, (a) how much space is leased by each agency as at 28 February 2010, what (b) is the average space on a per employee basis, (c) are the costs per square metre, (d) are the common costs, that is, costs shared with other tenants, (e) is the make-good provision and (f) is the lease expiry date.

Mr Stanhope: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

ACT Property Group in the Department of Land and Property Services manages all leased accommodation on behalf of the Territory, therefore this question was redirected.
Please find attached Whole of Government data.

The detail on the space occupied per employee and the associated cost are reported at a whole of government level which include the owned office portfolio. The utilisation rate as at 31 December 2009 was 16.5m2 per occupied work point. The accommodation cost per employee at a whole of government level including the owned office portfolio was $6,873 per annum. With regard to common costs, all costs within tenancies such as cleaning, light and power, and security are shared based on the ratio of the space occupied.

The tenancy for the Cultural Facilities Corporation is within the North Building which is a government owned building and is primarily gallery space. The total area is 4,414.8m2 at a rental of $315.43m2 per annum.
