Housing—government purchases
(Question No 166)
Mr Coe asked the Minister for Housing and Suburban Development, upon notice, on 12 May 2017:
(1) Further to the evidence given to the Standing Committee on Planning and Urban Renewal on 10 March 2017, could the Minister outline the advice received about the publication of property purchases on the ACT Government Notifiable Invoices Register, particularly whether invoices for components of a purchase that meet the threshold value of $25,000 should be published on the Register.
(2) Could the Minister provide a list setting out any payments made for invoices above $25,000 that have not been published on the ACT Notifiable Invoices Register since 1 July 2015 including the same details as set out on the Register, that is (a) supplier name, (b) supplier ABN, (c) reporting entity, (d) publish description, (e) payment date and (f) payment amount.
Ms Berry: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The Land Development Agency (LDA) has received advice that payments such as reimbursements, act of grace payments, or payment for property are not notifiable invoices under section 42A of the Government Procurement Act 2001 as they do not represent a good, service or works.
(2) Below is a list of payments above $25,000 that have not been published on the ACT Notifiable Invoices Register. A total of 11 payments have been excluded from this list as they are subject to confidentiality agreements. The total value of these payments is $16.560 million and they primarily relate to land acquisition payments.
