Departmental Capital Budgets are appropriated through Appropriation Acts (No.1, 3 & 5). They form part of ordinary annual services, and are not separately identified in the Appropriation Acts. For more information on ordinary annual services appropriations, please see Table A: Annual appropriations.
Appropriations reduced under Appropriation Acts (No.1, 3 & 5) 2011-12: sections 10, 11, 12 and 15 or via a determination by the Finance Minister.
Payments made on non-financial assets include purchases of assets, expenditure on assets which has been capitalised, costs incurred to make good an asset to its original condition, and the capital repayment component of finance leases.
The Department received $56,347,000 in Appropriation Act (No. 3) 2011-12 for Departmental ordinary annual services, which was comprised of $57,401,000 for operating purposes and a reduction of $1,054,000 against the Departmental Capital Budget (DCB). The reduction to the DCB was required as forward year budget estimates provided for operating purpose were transferred for capital purposes following a restructuring of administrative arrangements in 2011. The Department of Finance and Deregulation approved for the Department to draw down $1,054,000 from the DCB for operating purposes to achieve this notional split of the amount received under Appropriation Act (No. 3) 2011-12.
The variance of $3,867,000 represents amounts from the 2011 DCB expended in the current year.
