2. Refer to Table 5.2.1 (page 194) and page 200, 2017-18 Budget Paper No. 3. This provision re-profiles the program funding allocations to reflect the likely delivery outcome of the Capital Works Program, improving the accuracy of the overall budget estimates. While agencies are funded to deliver capital projects according to agreed timelines, there are risks to the delivery of each project.

3. Refer to Table 5.2.1 (page 194) and page 200 Budget Paper No. 3. This provision is for specific projects for which the budgets are yet to be settled, or which are commercially sensitive.

4. The recurrent amounts include the expense side of the renewable energy certificates (refer to page 37, 2017-18 Budget Paper No. 3).

The answers to parts (3) and (4) of the Member’s question are as follows:

Total full-time equivalents (FTEs) for the 2017-18 Budget year are expected to be 20,905 (for all government agencies and business enterprises), as published on page 427 of 2017-18 Budget Paper No. 3. The Government does not forecast agency FTEs for the forward estimates period, although staffing and associated expenses are published in the financial statements for the whole of government as well as for individual agencies.

Budget—rates
(Question No 318)

Mr Coe asked the Treasurer, upon notice, on 9 June 2017 (redirected to the Acting Treasurer):

What is the average rates for 2017-18 and for each of the out-years of the Budget for (a) single dwellings and (b) units for each suburb in Australian Capital Territory.

Ms Berry: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

Average rates for 2017-18 for (a) single dwellings and (b) units for each suburb of the Territory (where sufficient data is available to ensure privacy of rate payers) are in Table 1 below.

Rates by suburb for single dwellings and units are based on the Average Unimproved Values (AUVs) for each property within the suburb. Rates for the forward estimates of the 2017 18 Budget are not available because AUVs for those years are not yet available.
