Territory and Municipal Services Directorate—travel
(Question No 1844)

Mr Seselja asked the Minister for Territory and Municipal Services, upon notice, on 18 October 2011:

(1) What was the total amount spent on (a) travel and (b) business class travel for the Territory and Municipal Services Directorate for (i) 2008-09, (ii) 2009-10 and (iii) 2010-11.

(3) What proportion of the funding referred to in part (2) is allocated for business class travel.

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

(1) (a) Territory and Municipal Services expenditure on travel was:

(i) $0.714m

(ii) $0.564m

(iii) $0.245m

(b) Separate financial records are not kept to distinguish business class travel. The TAMS Travel Guidelines restrict business class travel to that by the Director General or Executives which exceeds 4 hours in the air.

(2) The amount budgeted for travel for 2011-12 is $0.211m. Detailed budget allocations are determined at the beginning of each year, so information on budgeted travel for 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 is not yet available.

(3) Separate financial records are not kept to distinguish business class travel. The TAMS Travel Guidelines restrict business class travel to that by the Director General or Executives which exceeds 4 hours in the air.
