ACT building levy—revenue
(Question No 3052)

Mr Parton asked the Minister for Business and Regulatory Services, upon notice, on 19 June 2020:

(1) How much has the ACT Building Levy raised in the financial years of (a) 2015-16, (b) 2016-17, (c) 2017-18, (d) 2018-19 and (e) 2019-20 year to date.

(2) What was the total cost of running the construction compliance, licensing and regulation functions within Access Canberra in the financial years of (a) 2015-16, (b) 2016-17, (c) 2017-18, (d) 2018-19 and (e) 2019-20 year to date.

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

(1) (a) $19,036,924

(b) $17,802,263

(c) $20,420,670

(d) $23,041,997

(e) $19,325,407 (as at 30 June 2020)

(2) The structuring of Access Canberra and allocation of staff to multiple legislative functions at varying points of time, makes the calculation of staff dedicated purely to construction compliance, regulation and licensing difficult to calculate, as well as support functions, such as data services, client service and community education engagement, which form an integral part of the regulation of the construction industry. It would therefore be an unreasonable diversion of resources.
