This annual report outlines DTEI’s contribution to south australia’s strategic plan (sasp).

Theplanhassixinterrelatedobjectivesforthestate.

1. growing prosperity.

2. Improving wellbeing.

3. attaining sustainability.

4. fostering creativity and innovation.

5.Buildingcommunities.

6. Expanding opportunity.

DTEI has the lead responsibility for specific targets under thefirstthreeobjectivesrelatingtostrategicinfrastructuredevelopment, improved road safety, increasing the use of public transport, energy efficiency and renewable energy. Together with other agencies, it also contributes toward achieving a number of across-government targets related to performance and diversity in the public sector, women in leadership, aboriginal wellbeing and people with disabilities.

released in 2005, the strategic Infrastructure plan for south australia provides a 10 year framework to guide the development of more efficient, competitive and sustainable infrastructure systems, supporting the objectivesofSouthAustralia’sStrategicPlan.


Objective 1: Growing

Prosperity – Economic

Environment

T1.7performance in the public sector – customer and client satisfaction with government services: Increase the satisfaction of south australians with government services by 10 per cent by 2010, maintaining or exceeding that level of satisfaction thereafter.

Key Measure: proportion satisfied with government services.

T1.8performance in the public sector – government decision-making: Become,by2010,thebest-performingjurisdictioninAustraliaintimelinessandtransparency of decisions which impact the business community (and maintain that rating).

Key Measure: productivity commission data.

T1.9 performance in the public sector – administrative efficiency: Increase the ratio of operational to administrative expenditure in state government by 2010, and maintain or better that ratio thereafter. Key Measure: ratio of operational to administrative expenditure.

Targets 1.7 and 1.8 are across-government targets led by the Department of the premier and cabinet. The Department of Treasury and finance has the lead responsibility for T1.9.

DTEI is responsible for delivering a range of services to the rest of government, business and the broader community throughout south australia. although customer satisfaction surveys generally reflect high levels of satisfaction, there is a need to continue to improve service quality. community and business customers generally are looking for improved access to a range of services and DTEI also recognises the need to reduce compliance costs to business.


progress towards the targets

south australian government agencies worked to meet the government’s 25 per cent targeted reduction in red tape by June 2008. DTEI has met its agreed target and identified more than $24 million in annual cost savings to business.

Strategies

DTEIsupportstheachievementofthesetargetsby:

• Providingasingle-entrypointtogovernmenttoensureintegrated service delivery to business and the wider community.

• Redevelopingpropertyandlandinformationsystemsto improve customer service.

• Promotingacitizen-centriccultureandcapabilitiesacross the department to ensure responsive and quality customer service.

• ImplementingtheHaveYourSaycustomerfeedbacksystem in four of the metropolitan service sa customer service centres (remainder to be completed by the end of 2008).

• Implementingprocurementreformsthatpreserve high levels of probity but allow the state to capture the benefits of innovation by the private sector. This occurs through government policy frameworks such as the construction procurement policy ProjectImplementationProcess,contractorprequalification and the across-government facilities management arrangements.

• Ensuringqualityengagementpracticeisappliedindepartmentalprojectswherecommunityviewsinformthe decision-making process with clear messages about how the community can be involved in these governmentprojects.

• Undertakingareviewofthepropertymanagementfunctions within the department. The review demonstrated that significant service delivery and efficiency improvements could be realised with the amalgamation of the DTEI property groups into one division. This consolidation will be completed in 2008–09.

• Integratingandautomatingsystems,policiesandprocedures,suchastheBuildingProjectsInformationmanagement system, which enables lead agencies andcontractorstoreadilyaccessprojectinformation.


• Contributingtopublicsectorreformsledbythegovernment reform commission including the development of new regional boundaries and improvements to procurement.

• Contributingtosharedservicesreformincludingnegotiating commercial leases to consolidate accommodation requirements for the government’s shared services sa initiative and associated backfill arrangements to progress achievement of targeted office accommodation savings.

• Creatinganenvironmentthatsupportsandutilisesworkforce flexibility within DTEI by reviewing human resource policies and processes, and streamlining recruitment and employment processes and policies.

• Ensuringthestategovernment’sICTinfrastructuresupports improved access and efficiency in the delivery of government services by developing an IcT planning framework and strategy, and a portfolio-wide ICTprojectgovernanceframework.

Future directions

The department will continue to pursue reforms to contribute towards these targets with a focus in 2008–09 on identifying options for greater efficiency and flexibility in management of the operating budget, targeting new areas for red tape reduction and adopting best practice in the design and review of regulations.

DTEI will also work with other government agencies to extend the suite of services offered through the service sa customer service network.


T1.21 Match the national average in terms of investment in key economic and social infrastructure.

Key Measure: public and private new engineering construction as a percentage of gsp/gDp (baseline 2002–03).

south australia’s expanding resources sector and defence industry, as well as transport and urban developments,havedriventhevalueofmajorprojectsunder development or investigation to a record level of $45 billion in 2007. record levels of business investment are driving increased demand for infrastructure.

The state has committed to a significant infrastructure investment program with total government investment of $2.15 billion in 2008–09 and $10.3 billion over the next four years including a number of public private partnerships. This represents the largest ever infrastructure investment in south australia. In the 2008–09 budget the state government announced a significant $2 billion revitalisation and reform of the public transport system over the next decade. This is in addition to a new $1.7 billion central hospital, a desalination plant, new schools and new prisons, youth detention and forensic mental health facilities.

This target is led by DTEI, but contributors include other government agencies and the private sector.

Objective 1:Growing

Prosperity – Infrastructure


progress towards this target

public and private new engineering construction in south australia as a proportion of gsp/gDp was below the national rate – 3.87 per cent compared to 4.53 per cent in 2006–07 (the latest figures currently available).

The gap between the south australian and national rates narrowed substantially in 2006–07 compared to 2005–06.

Strategies

DTEI is the lead agency for the strategic Infrastructure plan for south australia. The principal purpose of the plan is to guide new infrastructure investment by government and the private sector and improve the management and use of the state’s existing infrastructure.

recognising that responsibility for infrastructure is shared by the three spheres of government and the private sector, DTEI is involved in the following key long-term strategiestoachievethetarget:

• Transport–investingininfrastructuretoexpandthecapacity and efficiency of the state’s freight transport system to meet the expected doubling of the freight task between 2000 and 2020.

• Energy–facilitatingtimelyprivatesectorinvestmentin electricity and gas infrastructure to secure reliable, sustainable and affordable supply capacity.

• Telecommunications–expandingthecapacityandreach of the state government’s broadband network to improve access throughout the state to reliable, high-speed telecommunications infrastructure. This strategy is led by the Department of further Education, Employment, science and Technology with support from the office of the chief Information officer within DTEI.

• Developingandimplementingintegratedandenvironmentally sustainable approaches to infrastructure for a population of two million in south australia. This target is led by planning sa with contribution from DTEI.

The department has also worked closely with other jurisdictionsunderthedirectionoftheCouncilofaustralian government (coag) and a number of ministerial councils to develop and implement a range of reforms to improve the functioning of infrastructure markets.

Future directions

more than $800 million will be spent on the state’s roads over the next four years. This investment is targeted at meeting the expected growth in the freight task, including upgrade of the metropolitan north-south corridor and development of regional freight networks.

The government has allocated $12 million to upgrade andenhancePABXacrossgovernment,providenewbroadband infrastructure and call centre technology as well as upgrade and replace the central data network infrastructure.

significant infrastructure investment is also proposed for public transport (refer to target T3.6).

ongoing work with other agencies will continue to facilitate timely development of key economic and social infrastructure to underpin expected population and industry growth. The department will also continue to work with the commonwealth and other states and territories on a range of reforms to help address the infrastructure challenges that lie ahead.


T2.9 Road safety:By2010reduceroadfatalitiestolessthan90 persons per year.

Key Measure: number of road fatalities (baseline 2003).

T2.10 Road safety:By2010reduceseriousinjuriestolessthan 1000 persons per year.

Key Measure: Numberofseriousinjuries (baseline 2003).

Transport safety is a key area of focus for the south australian government and DTEI aims to reduce the impact of road, rail and marine trauma on the community.

DTEI continues to develop and implement road, rail and marine transport safety interventions that are targeted to both their location and the various transport users, achieving a balance between safety and other imperatives, including mobility. There is a particular focus on road safety in line with this sasp target which, in turn, reflects national fatality reduction targets.

DTEI’s responsibility is to exercise leadership in developing an evidence-based package of measures relating to the various aspects of transport safety.

Objective 2: Improving

Wellbeing – Public Safety


This includes work to integrate safety principles into alltransportinfrastructureprojects,andimplementinglicensing practices that raise the safety expectations and performance of drivers and riders.

Legislative reform must have a national focus wherever possible and strategies must maximise voluntary compliance and create effective deterrence.

progress towards the targets

The number of fatalities fell to 125 in 2007.

Therewere1361seriousinjuriesonSouthAustralia’sroads in 2007, significantly below the 1468 recorded in 2003, the baseline year.

Strategies

DTEI is involved in the following key long-term strategies toachievethetargets:

The south australian road safety action plan 2008–2010 outlines four areas containing the priority road safety actions in south australia that are being implemented to achievetheseSASPtargets:SaferRoads;SaferSpeeds;SaferRoadUsers;andSaferVehicles.


T3.6 use of public transport: Increase the use of public transport to 10 per cent of metropolitan weekday passenger vehicle kilometres travelled by 2018.

Key Measure: public transport usage as a proportion of metropolitan weekday passenger vehicle kilometres travelled.

In order to meet this target there is a need to expand and modernise public transport to provide an environmentally friendly, cost-effective and efficient network.

There is also a need to continue innovative service redesign and improved matching of services to people’s access needs.

Byworkingcloselywithcontractors,DTEIhas contributed to the growth in patronage, which has also been supported by marketing campaigns and information provision.

progress towards this target

from a baseline of 6.5 per cent in 2002–03, this target measure has increased to 7.2 per cent in 2005–06 (the latest figures currently available).

as a secondary measure, there is a continuing strong upward trend in the number of public transport boardings across metropolitan adelaide. During 2007–08, total public transport patronage (including initial boardings and transfers) increased by 1.8 per cent on the adelaide metro network.

Strategies

DTEI is involved in the following key long-term strategies toachievethetarget:

• Improvingperformanceonthededicatedrail,tramandO-Bahncorridorsandonthebusnetworkbyincreasing frequency, speed and reliability of services.

Objective 3: Attaining

Sustainability – Climate Change

• Continuingthemaintenanceofpublictransportinfrastructure to improve customer safety, security and amenity. This included the finalisation of the installation of security cameras in all buses.

• Makingimprovementstopublictransport infrastructure to meet Disability Discrimination act 1992 compliance requirements.


Future directions

The massive investment provided in the 2008–09 state budget for adelaide’s public transport system will provide a fast, clean, frequent and efficient train, tram and bus system. over the next decade this funding will deliver a program of works to assist DTEI to meet the sasp target to grow patronage.

The tramline will be extended to provide a service running from glenelg through the city, to West Lakes and semaphore through port adelaide. It will extend along north Terrace onto port road and travel to the adelaide EntertainmentCentrebeforejoiningtheOuterHarbor rail line. The tramline extensions will connect aamI stadium and the West Lakes and semaphore shopping precincts to light rail.


adelaide’s long-distance dedicated rail corridors will be revolutionised with the electrification of the rail corridors to noarlunga, outer Harbor and gawler and the ensuing purchase of 50 new electric trains. a total of $37 million also will be invested in accelerating the railcar refurbishment program.

In addition to the current bus replacement program, an extra 20 buses a year will be provided in the next four years, resulting in immediate additional services around commuter peak periods. With about 300 extra buses over the next 10 years, DTEI will deliver bus feeder services linking local areas to dedicated rail corridors andhigh-frequencybuscorridors.Busserviceswillhaveincreased by 77 per cent by 2020.

TheO-Bahnalsowillbeupgradedwithplannedstationredevelopments at key interchanges and a review to improve the operation of buses between the Hackney exit and the city via priority lanes and intersection upgrades.

a new modern ticketing system also will be brought into service to complete the revitalisation.

These measures are complemented by changes to south australia’s land use planning system announced in the review of south australia’s planning strategy which will allow for and encourage transit oriented developments. These higher density and well designed neighbourhoods are to be located along adelaide’s enhanced train, tram and bus corridors. These new developments will help reduce adelaide’s reliance on cars and foster greater use of the expanded public transport network.

T3.12Renewable energy: support the development of renewable energy so that it comprises 20 per cent of the state’s electricity production and consumption by 2014. KeyMeasure:Proportionofrenewableelectricitygenerated and consumed.

The government’s priority is to make south australia world-renowned for being clean, green and sustainable. at the same time as boosting community wellbeing and safeguarding future generations, this will contribute to our state’s prosperity. The focus will be on protecting biodiversity, securing sustainable water and energy supplies and minimising waste. Leading the nation in renewable generation represents an important part of this focus.

In south australia there is potential for growth in wind and solar generation and, in the longer term, geothermal energy.

The department is working with the Department of the premier and cabinet and with industry to facilitate the development of initiatives to improve sustainability and increase renewable power sources.


Objective 3: Attaining

Sustainability – Energy


progress towards the target

In 2007–08, the proportion of electricity generated from renewable sources was 9.4 per cent (by consumption) and 8.2 per cent (by production).

progress will be affected by policies at the national level, including the mandatory renewable energy target and a national emissions trading scheme.

as at June 2008, south australia had an estimated 53 per cent of australia’s wind power capacity, 37 per cent of australia’s solar power capacity, and 80 per cent of australia’s geothermal research activity.

Strategies

recognising that responsibility for renewable energy is shared by the state and commonwealth governments and the private sector, DTEI is involved in the following keylongtermstrategiestoachievethetarget:

• Contributingtothedevelopmentofanationalemissions trading scheme aimed at promoting use of lower emission sources of energy.

• Encouragingrenewableelectricitygenerationinsouth australia by promoting research into renewable technologies, facilitating investment in new renewable energyprojects,includinggeothermalenergy,andcontributing to the development of national policy and regulatory arrangements which encourage development of renewable energy.

• Encouragingincreasedconsumptionofrenewableelectricity in south australia, with an initial focus on government agencies and residential consumers, through education and the selective use of incentives.


Activitiestowardsmeetingthetargetincluded:

• Progressionofwindfarms.SouthAustraliacurrentlyhas seven wind farms, totalling 482 mW of generating capacity.Afurthertwowindfarms(LakeBonneystage2 and snowtown) are nearing completion and another

two are commencing construction during 2008. When these are completed, there will be 868 mW of wind generation in the state. at June 2008, more than half of the wind generation capacity in australia was installed in south australia with significantly more capacity planned for construction in future years.

• Approvalofanestimated2900solarhotwaterrebates,saving approximately 7800 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions over the lifetime of the installations.

• PassingoftheElectricity(Feed-inScheme–residential solar systems) amendment act 2008 by parliament. The act came into effect on 1 July 2008 and will ensure householders with solar electricity systems are rewarded for the electricity they generate and feed into the electricity network, at a rate of $0.44/kWh. south australia was the first australian state to legislate for a premium solar feed-in scheme.

• Contributiontothedevelopmentofnationalpoliciesthat support the deployment of renewable technology, including a national Emissions Trading scheme and an extended mandatory renewable Energy Target, through the coag climate change and Water Working group and its subgroups.

• Supportingthepurchaseofelectricityfromgreenpower accredited suppliers by government and contributing to the ongoing improvement of the national greenpower program through the national greenpower steering group.

Future directions

DTEI will continue to encourage an increase in renewable electricity generation in south australia by promoting investment in the development and use of renewable energy sources.



T3.13 energy efficiency – government buildings: Improve the energy efficiency of government buildings by 25 per cent from 2000–01 levels by 2014.

Key Measure: Energy efficiency of government buildings.

Energy efficiency in government buildings is a target because of the significant amount of energy consumed by the public sector and the importance of ensuring the public sector leads by example.

progress towards the target

since 2000–01, the south australian government has achieved an 8.77 per cent overall energy efficiency improvement in its owned and leased buildings. This is approximately 35 per cent of the way towards achieving T3.13.

Onesignificantprojectwhichencompassesthegoalsof this target is forestrysa’s new five-star green rated office at mount gambier. This new $8.8 million facility was projectmanagedbyDTEIandreplacesanoldfunctionallyinefficient facility. as well as improved energy efficiency, nearly 90 per cent of the above ground structure was constructed using sustainable plantation timber (pine and pine products) from local mills.

Strategies

recognising that responsibility for the energy efficiency of government-leased and owned buildings is shared across government and with the private sector, DTEI is involved in the following key long-term strategies to achievethetarget:

• Maximisetheuseofenergyefficientequipment across government.

• Continueimplementationofenergyefficiencyinitiatives in state government office buildings including compliance with minimum energy efficiency requirements and maintaining a preference for a five-star energy rating for new leases.

• Increasetheenergyefficiencyofnewlyoccupiedbuildings by introducing minimum energy performance standards for construction and refurbishment.

• Increaseawarenessofgovernmentemployees about how they can contribute to more efficient use of energy.

• Maximiseenergyefficiencyofexistingbuildings.


Significantworkincluded:

• Continuingtoworkwithotheragenciestoimplementenergy efficiency measures from within existing budgets and applying the green star office design rating tool to all new government office accommodation buildings.

Future directions

across government, the department will promote increases in energy efficiency of existing buildings, new buildingsandmajorrefurbishmentandequipment.



T3.14 energy efficiency – dwellings: Increase the energy efficiency of dwellings by 10 per cent by 2014.

Key Measure: south australia’s residential energy efficiency index.

The energy efficiency of dwellings is defined as the number of residential dwellings that can have their annual energy needs met by a given quantity of energy - in this caseoneterajoule(TJ)ofenergy.Thisvalueisreferredtoas the Energy Efficiency Index (EEI).

In the base year 2003–04 the EEI for south australian residential dwellings was 18.8. The target is to increase the EEI to 20.7 dwellings per TJ per annum by 2014.

approved measures, such as energy efficiency performance standards for new homes and appliances, are estimated to contribute around 20 per cent of the energy savings needed to attain this target.

The relatively short timeframe for the target means that initiatives to achieve it must deliver significant energy use reductions and achieve rapid penetration in the residential sector. achieving this target will require significant new initiatives directed to a large proportion of south australian households.

In developing initiatives, it will be important to consider the potential costs and benefits to households, the effects of market barriers and the split of incentives between landlords and tenants.

progress against this measure

as at 30 June 2008 the most recent information available was for 2005–06 due to the long lead times in obtaining the data. In 2005–06 the EEI had decreased to 18.3 dwellings per TJ per annum.

The negative movement in the target measure has been influenced by factors such as an increased use of energy for heating and cooling.


Strategies

recognising that responsibility for the energy efficiency of residential dwellings is shared by the public and private sectors, as well as with individual south australians, DTEI is involved in the following key long-term strategies toachievethetarget:

• Ensuringahighlevelofcompliancewithcurrentmandatory energy performance standards for new homes,majorrenovationsandselectedgasandelectrical appliances.

• Promotingtheuseofsolarhotwaterheaters.

• Strengtheningandextendingenergyefficiencyrequirementsfornewdwellingsandmajorrenovations.

• Developingnewinitiativestoincreasetheenergyefficiency of existing dwellings, including performance standards for appliances (such as hot water systems, heating and cooling systems) and education materials for residents.


Progresshasincluded:

• Togetherwithotherjurisdictions,continuingtoimplement minimum energy performance standards and labelling requirements for a range of household appliances and equipment.

• Completingmostofa$9millionprogramplannedoverthe two-year period 2007–09 to replace existing and provide new housing in the government Employee residential property program, including energy and water savings initiatives.

• Undertakingarangeofotheractionstopromoteandencourage energy efficiency in government employee housing. These include documented standards for energy efficient design and equipment, and information sent out to residents to encourage and promote efficient use of energy in residential properties.


Future directions

The minister for Energy announced the policy measure greenhouse gas and flow rate performance standard for Water Heater Installations in Dwellings. This started on 1 July 2008.

The ministerial council on Energy approved a suite of national energy efficiency measures as stage 2 of the national framework for Energy Efficiency. commencing in July 2008, specific measures will contribute to the achievement of this target. These include the phase-out of inefficient incandescent lighting, expanded minimum energy performance standards for appliances and implementation of mandatory disclosure of energy performance of dwellings at the time of sale or lease.

The previously announced residential Energy Efficiency scheme is scheduled to start on 1 January 2009. This will require energy retailers to deliver energy efficiency improvements to households.


T5.1 Boards and committees: Increase the number of women on all state government boards and committees to 50 per cent on average by 2008, and maintain thereafter by ensuring that 50 per cent of women are appointed, on average, each quarter.

Key Measure: percentage of women on all state government boards and committees.

T5.2 Chairs of boards and committees: Increase the number of women chairing state government boards and committees to 50 per cent by 2010.

Key Measure: percentage of women chairing state government boards and committees.

T6.1 Aboriginal wellbeing: Improve the overall wellbeing of aboriginal south australians.

Key Measure: Wellbeing of aboriginal south australians.

T6.24 Aboriginal employees: Increase the participation of aboriginal people in the south australian public sector, spread across all classifications and agencies, to two per cent by 2010 and maintain or better those levels through to 2014.

Key Measure: aboriginal people in the south australian public sector.

These two across-government targets are led by the Department of the premier and cabinet and aim to improve the wellbeing of aboriginal south australians by reducing the gap between the outcomes for aboriginal people and those of the rest of the population, particularly in relation to health, life expectancy, employment, school retention rates and imprisonment.

progress by DteI towards the targets

The participation of aboriginal people in the DTEI workforce was 0.93 per cent as at 30 June 2008. This percentage is the same as at June 2007. The department’s employment strategies have ensured thatadditionalAboriginalpeoplehavebeenemployed;however, some aboriginal employees have gained positions in other departments. additional work needs to occur to improve retention if the target of two per cent aboriginal employees is to be reached in DTEI by 2010.

T6.22 people with disabilities: Double the number of people with disabilities employed by 2014.

Key Measure: number of people with disabilities employed in the public sector.

This across-government target is led by the Department for families and communities and recognises the rights of people with disabilities to have, as far as practical, the same opportunities as other community members to access and participate in all facets of community life, including employment.

progress by DteI towards the target

In June 2007 DTEI was reported as having 65 employees with ongoing disabilities requiring workplace adaptation. at June 2008 this had increased to 73 employees.

The baseline figure for this target was the number of people with disabilities at June 2006 as reported by the commissioner for public Employment. given the significant under reporting of disability by employees, as well as the definition of disability used which is limited to those disabilities requiring workplace modifications, a broader definition of disability from the Disability Discrimination act (DDa) has been adopted. This approach will be implemented across government during 2008–09, which will provide a new baseline figure for this target.

Strategies

DTEI supports this target by improving the employment outcomes for people with disabilities within the departmentby:

• Raisingthelevelofdisabilityawarenessofmanagersand employees through training and information.

• Ensuringinclusiveworkplaces.

• Providingemploymentopportunitiesforpeople with disabilities.


The department also focuses on the six areas set out in thegovernment’sPromotingIndependenceStrategyby:

• Ensuringaccessibilityofitsservicestopeoplewithdisabilities, both as customers and employees.

• Ensuringinformationaboutitsservicesandprogramsis inclusive of people with disabilities.

• Deliveringadviceandservicestopeoplewithdisabilities with awareness and understanding of issues affecting people with disabilities.

• Providingopportunitiesforconsultationwithpeoplewith disabilities in decision-making processes regarding service delivery and in the implementation of complaints and grievance mechanisms.

• Ensuringitisworkingtowardsmeetingtherequirements of the DDa and the Equal opportunity act 1984.

DTEI’s Disability action plan was lodged with the Human rights and Equal opportunity commission in December 2007.Thisplanwasdevelopedinconjunctionwiththestate advisory committee on accessible Transport (sacaT) and sets out DTEI’s commitment to ensure access to all DTEI conveyances, premises, infrastructure and services.



• Recognisingtheimportanceofaccessibilityofservicesfor people with disabilities as both customers and employees across the department. DTEI’s internet environment now uses a third party web service to generate text-only versions of internet pages that can be accessed by users with other technology devices. Hearing-friendly phones are available at customer service centres for customers with hearing impairments.

• Improvingthelevelofdisabilityaccesstogovernmentowned and leased buildings by providing assistance to other government agencies in the preparation of disability access reviews and the programming of associated minor works and, in the case of leased buildings, negotiating with property owners to ensure


this occurs. The Disability checklist for government owned and Leased premises also was revised.

• RevisingDTEI’sGuidelinesforDisabilityAccessinthe pedestrian Environment in line with the Disability standards for accessible public Transport 2002. Thiswillassistprojectmanagerstodeliveraccessibleservices. standards for departmental engineering drawings are currently under review to ensure they reflect these guidelines.

• ContinuingconsultationwithSACAT.Thecommitteeprovides advice on matters relating to the implementation, operation and evaluation of transport services, facilities, infrastructure and initiatives related to accessibility in its broadest context.

• ContinuingcommitmentbyallexecutivedirectorstotheRemovingtheBarriersstatementwhichrecognisesthe rights of people with disabilities. This document aims to promote understanding and awareness throughout the organisation. further to this, disability awareness training has been undertaken by 96 per cent of DTEI staff. This has contributed to improved understanding and awareness of issues affecting people with disabilities.

• PromotionoftheDisabilityEmploymentRegistercoordinated by the Department of the premier and cabinet as a recruitment tool for managers and human resource practitioners within the department.

Future directions

DTEI will continue to work towards the appropriate representation of the requirements of the DDa in its policies and processes. Departmental road design checklists are being reviewed and action will be taken to ensure that the future review of the austroads safety audit checklist reflects the needs of people with disabilities.

During 2008–09 DTEI will conduct a survey of its employees to provide more accurate data to be collected on employees with disabilities. This will support identification of the specific needs of these employees and assist the department to more accurately monitor its progress towards this target.

oCCupAtIonAl HeAltH, SAFetY AnD WelFARe (oHS&W)

The department is committed to the wellbeing and safety of all employees, contractors, visitors and members of the public, and to the continuous improvement of its oHs&W system.

In July 2007, the department underpinned the chief Executive safety commitment statement with an oHs&W strategic plan. five strategic directions were defined for the department,including:

• Improvinghazardandriskmanagement.

• Strengtheningsystemsandresources.

• Enablingleadership.

• Buildingonourknowledgeandskills.

• Promotingstaffhealthandwellbeing.

Each DTEI division developed a divisional oHs&W action plan which outlined how they would address the implementation of the five key strategic directions.

In october 2007, four divisions who were formerly part of the Department for administrative and Information services transitioned to DTEI oHs&W policies and practices.

DTEI continues to monitor its performance against the key safety in the public sector (sIps) targets and other performance indicators. Quarterly reports are generated and provided to each divisional executive director to enable them to monitor performance and take actions required to improve their systems.

a number of initiatives were implemented within 2007-08 to address the key strategic directions:

• HazardandincidentreportingusingtheHazardIncidentandReportingSystem(HIrs) was regularly monitored throughout the year. access to a recording system was established for a number of divisions who had previously used a centralised agency reporting system. corporate services Division monitors the reports and analyses trends to be used in the development of further prevention programs.

• Ane-learningpackagewasdevelopedwiththreemodulesspecificallyaimedatimproving the oHs&W knowledge of managers and supervisors. more than 900 staff within DTEI have undertaken this training.

• Learninganddevelopmentforumshaveaddressedtopicssuchas‘WhenanInspectorCalls’,‘MockTrial–prosecutingOHS&Wbreaches’,‘BestPractice InjuryManagement’,‘InvestigatinganIncident–thinkingoutsidetheSquare’.

• Ahealthandwellbeingcalendarofeventswasdevelopedandanumberof health and wellbeing initiatives promoted by divisions.


• TheEmployeeAssistanceProgram(EAP)waspromotedandextendedtocoverall DTEI employees. over the course of the year 309 people accessed the service.

The carers recognition act 2005 requires DTEI to report on action taken to comply withtherequirementsofsection6oftheAct:

• Ensuringitsofficers,employeesoragentshaveanawarenessandunderstanding of the sa carers charter.

• Takingactiontoreflecttheprinciplesofthecharterintheprovisionofrelevantservices.

• Consultingwithcarersandorganisationsthatrepresentcarers,particularlyin relation to policy or program development, or strategic or operational planning, relevant to carers and the persons they care for.

carers are defined under the act as the family and friends who provide ongoing care or assistance to someone who has a disability, or a chronic illness including a mental illness, or who is frail. carers include members of the south australian community who are our customers as well as employees of DTEI who are also carers.

as lead agency for the implementation of the carers recognition act, the Department for families and communities requires all agencies to address a number of questions to enable them to assess progress.


Carers who are consumers

Consultation with carers (program or policy development, or strategic or operational planning)

Question 1: Does your agency have policies for ensuring carers who are consumers are included in policy and program development, and in strategic and operational planning where there is relevance to carers and the persons they support?

Answer: Yes.

Question 2: Does your agency have a mechanism to promote and seek representation and appointment of carers who are consumers or their advocates on advisory bodies and/or committees?

Answer: Yes.

Question 3: Has your agency conducted surveys of carers who are consumers to identify their needs?

Answer: no.

Question 4: Will your agency be making changes to the way your services are delivered to carers as a result?

Answer: no, as no surveys have been undertaken to date.

Question 5: Does your agency have a written policy to inform planning and decision-making between all parties in the caring relationship (service providers, carer/consumer, cared for person)?

SACATprovidesinputonawiderangeofmatters,including:

• Considerationofpolicyinitiatives.

• ThedevelopmentandreviewofDTEI’sDisabilityActionPlan.

• StrategicplanningfordisabilityserviceprovisionsacrosstheTransport,Energy and Infrastructure portfolio.

The department also seeks representation from groups that represent carers and other groups through the Energy consumer’s council which has representatives from the council of the ageing (coTa) and the south australian council of social service (sacoss).

During the year DTEI, as a service provider, promoted the carers recognition act and continued to assist carers through the south australian Transport subsidy scheme (saTss) and the plus one free companion card. The plus one free companion card enables a carer to accompany the cardholder on public transport at no cost and benefits many people in the adelaide metropolitan area. There are currently 38 992 active saTss members and 22 320 plus one free companion card holders.

as the south australian government’s single entry point to government services and information, service sa provides easy access to a comprehensive range of information and products on behalf of government agencies. This includes information and products regardingcaringforothers,whichisasubjectfeaturedasa‘lifeevent’ontheServicesa website.

DteI Green plan implementation

The DTEI green plan, released in June 2007, sets out the action plans, targets and communication strategy to reduce the department’s environmental footprint. The plan is based on the eight priority areas identified in the greening of government Operations(GoGO)Framework:

• Priority1: EnergyManagement

• Priority2: WaterConservationandWastewaterManagement

• Priority3: WasteManagement

• Priority4: BuiltFacilities(GreenBuilding)Management

• Priority5: TravelandFleetManagement

• Priority6: GreenProcurement

• Priority7: HumanResourceManagement

• Priority8: GovernmentAdministrativePoliciesandGuidelines


DTEI is a lead agency for three of the priority areas, responsible for providing a leadership role and assisting other government agencies in achieving the strategicobjectivesoftheGoGOFramework:EnergyManagement,Traveland Fleetmanagement(inconjunctionwithFleetSA),andBuiltFacilities (GreenBuildings)Management.

The gogo framework and associated action plan set out eight milestones for the implementation of gogo, with the first six aiming to position agencies for implementation of greening activities across priority areas and expected to have been completed by June 2007. DTEI met the first six milestones by June 2007 and has been achievingprogresstowardsthenexttwomilestonesduring2007-08:

• Milestone7: initiatedagencyimplementationplan–DTEI’sGreenPlanwasimplemented from June 2007. This is ongoing, with communication of the plan progressed through staff awareness seminars and the establishment of an intranet site.

• Milestone8: undertakeongoingmeasuring,monitoring,reportingandcontinuousimprovement of performance - DTEI’s green plan identifies the areas required to be measured, monitored and reported. performance is reported annually to the leadership group of the department.

• Energyauditsandotherinitiativestoimproveenergyefficiencyofgovernmentofficebuildingsincluding:

• Purchasing20percentgreenpower.

• Developingastandardformof‘GreenLease’andotherstrategiestoreducedemand for government office space and related resources. DTEI negotiated majorleasesforgovernmenttenantsatnumerousCBDlocationsdesignedtoachieve energy savings by requiring owners to provide base building energy efficiency measures in the buildings and tenant fit-outs.

• Encouragingagenciestomoreefficientlymanageenergy,waterandwaste.Energy audits were completed on five government owned buildings. Energy and water savings initiatives were incorporated in the program to replace and provide government employee housing.

• Investigatingandidentifyinganappropriatesuiteofenvironmentalratingtoolsforapplication to existing commercial government owned office buildings, with a draft ratings benchmark matrix due in september 2008.

• Incorporatingenergyandwaterefficientmeasuresinmajorbuildingprojectprocurement practices. These include the use of green star design tools to complement application of DTEI’s ecological sustainable development guide note for ‘planning, Design and Delivery’, as well as the inclusion of a range of environmental criteria in the capital works procurement and review process.

• Maintainingandreplacingmajorplantineightgovernmentbuildings,incorporatingenergy efficiency components.


• GreeningoftheDTEIvehiclefleetthroughtheuseofloweremissionsfuels.DTEIhas10 hybrid and 306 low-emission fuelled cars (Lpg, high efficiency diesel) in its light vehicle fleet, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 120 tonnes and saving over $450 000 in fuel costs per annum. forty-three per cent of the fleet were using low emission fuels at June 2008, positioning the department well to exceed the premier’s target of converting 50 per cent of government cars to lower emission fuels by 2010. To assist in achieving this target, DTEI changed its light vehicle policy during the year to further promote and convert as many light vehicles as possible to low-emission fuelled.

• Greeningofthepublictransportbusfleetby:

• Theuseofcompressednaturalgastopowerapproximately27percentofbuses within the adelaide metro fleet. 20 new buses with diesel engines to Euro3 standard and 20 new buses with diesel engines to Euro4 standard have been added to the fleet.

During2007-08therewerenochangestotheDepartment’sstructurealbeittherewasthefollowing significant change to its functions.



In november 2007, the government announced the transfer of various metropolitan rail passenger services assets previously controlled by transadelaide to be vested in the name of the minister for transport. the change in administration of these assets was effective from 1 January 2008 as reported in the government gazette dated 13 December 2007. operation and maintenance of all transferred property has been integrated into the Department’s existing offices and divisions.

3. SummARY oF SIgnIFIcAnt AccountIng polIcIeS

3.1 Statement of compliance

Thefinancialreportisageneral-purposefinancialreport.Theaccountshavebeen prepared in accordance with applicable australian accounting standards, treasurer’s Instructions and accounting policy statements promulgated under the provision of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1987.

australian accounting standards include australian equivalents to International financial reporting standards and AAS 29 Financial Reporting by Government Departments. australian accounting standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted by the Department for the reporting period ending 30 June 2008. these are outlined in note 4.

3.2 Basis of preparation

this financial report is prepared on the basis of:

a) use of certain accounting estimates and the exercise of judgement in the process of applying the Department’s accounting policies. any areas involving a higher degree of judgement or where assumptions and estimates are significanttothefinancialstatementsareoutlinedintheapplicablenotes;

b) accounting policies have been selected and applied to ensure that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events are reported;and

c) compliance with accounting policy statements issued pursuant to section 41 of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1987.

In the interest of public accountability and transparency the following note disclosures are included in this financial report:

a) revenues, expenses, financial assets and liabilities where the counterparty/transaction is with an entity within sa government as at reporting date, classifiedaccordingtotheirnature;

b) expenses incurred as a result of engaging consultants (as reported in the IncomeStatement);



141

c) employeetargetvoluntaryseparationpackageinformation;

d) employees whose normal remuneration is $100,000 or more (within $10,000 bandwidths) and the aggregate of the remuneration paid or payable or otherwise madeavailable,directlyorindirectlybytheentitytothoseemployees;and

e) board/committee member and remuneration information, where a board/committee member is entitled to receive income from membership other than adirectout-of-pocketreimbursement.

the Department’s Income statement, Balance sheet and statement of changes in equity have been prepared on an accrual basis and are in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for certain assets that have been valued in accordance with specific applicable valuation policies described under this note.

the cash flow statement has been prepared on a cash basis.

the financial report has been prepared based on a twelve month operating cycle with amounts presented in australian currency.

the accounting policies set below have been applied in preparing the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2008 and the comparative information presented for the year ended 30 June 2007.

3.3 Reporting entity

the Department for transport, energy and Infrastructure is a government department of the state of south australia, established pursuant to the public sector management act 1995. the Department is an administrative unit acting on behalf of the crown.

this departmental financial report includes all the controlled activities of the Department for transport, energy and Infrastructure. transactions and balances relating to administered items are not recognised in this departmental report.

as administered items are significant in relation to the Department’s overall financial performance and position, they are disclosed in the administered financial statements following the departmental financial report. except as otherwise disclosed administered items are accounted for on the same basis and using the same accounting policies as for departmental transactions.

3.4 comparative Information

the presentation and classification of items in the financial statements are consistent with prior periods except where a specific accounting policy statement or australian accounting standard has required a change.

Where presentation or classification of items in the financial report has been amended comparative amounts have been reclassified unless reclassification is impracticable. Where retrospective application of changes to accounting policies



and recognition of errors has occurred, relevant comparative amounts have also been amended.

the restated comparative amounts do not replace the original financial report for the preceding period.

3.5 Rounding

all amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($’000).

3.6 Service provider operations

service provider units are individual work units that operate on a fee for service basis. service provider units predominantly have as their clients other units or divisions within the Department and may also undertake some work for external parties. some service provider units charge actual costs directly to projects or functions, while others retain actual costs within a working account prior to on-chargingthosecoststotheircustomergroups.Therecurrentorcapitalnature of these costs is therefore not readily apparent. a reliable means of allocating these costs between investing and operating activities has been established based on the history of work performed or an apportionment relevant to the underlying nature of the service provider’s unit operations.

service provider unit revenue arising from operations with external clients is disclosed in the Income statement. revenue and expenses arising from intra-divisionoperationshavebeeneliminated.

3.7 Business overheads

the Department adopts a full cost approach to the costing of its infrastructure capital and recurrent works. this methodology entails the allocation of a proportionate share of overheads to these activities based on a regime of cost drivers. costs that are typically allocated using these cost drivers include general engineering and field related expenses, and goods or services that support the resources directly engaged in working on these activities (eg. accommodation rental, payroll services, finance, contract management, etc).

Business overheads relating to those functions or areas responsible for the management and control of property, building, information and communication technology assets are allocated across the Department. Business areas incurring these costs allocate the costs to specific activities and outputs in line with the Department’s full cost approach methodology.

costs normally associated with the establishment and operation of governance frameworks designed to support the role of executive management are not attributed to individual specific works and are borne by the Department as a whole.



143

3.8 taxation

the Department is not subject to income tax. the Department is liable for payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, goods and services tax (gst), emergency services levy, land tax equivalents and local government rate equivalents.

With respect to goods and services tax, income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of gst except:

- whentheGSTincurredonapurchaseofgoodsorservicesisnotrecoverablefrom the australian tax office (ato) in which case the gst is recognised as part ofthecostofacquisitionoftheassetoraspartoftheexpenseitemapplicable;and

- receivablesandpayables,whicharestatedwiththeamountofGSTincluded.

the net amount of gst recoverable from, or payable to the ato is included as part of receivables or payables in the Balance sheet.

cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis and the gst component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the ato is classified as part of operating cash flows.

unrecognised contractual commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of gst recoverable from, or payable to the ato.

With respect to tax equivalents, the Department is liable to pay income tax equivalents in relation to the commercial operations of the Building management Division.

In determining its tax equivalent commitments, the Department utilises the ‘accounting profits’ model. under this model, income tax expense is calculated separately for each taxable entity by applying the companies income tax rate (currently 30%) to the accounting profit for the year.

3.9 events after Balance date

Where an event occurs after 30 June 2008 but provides information about conditions that existed at 30 June 2008, adjustments are made to amounts recognised in the financial statements where it is material.

3.10 transferred Functions

assets, liabilities and contributed capital transferred to or from the Department under government restructuring arrangements have been reported in accordance with accounting policy statements contained within accounting policy framework II General Purpose Financial Reporting Framework, australian accounting standard AAS 29 Financial Reporting by Government Departments and Interpretation 1038 Contributions made to wholly-owned public sector entities.



3.11 Income and expenses

Income and expenses are recognised in the Department’s Income statement when and only when it is probable that the flow of economic benefits to or from the Department will occur and can be reliably measured.

Income and expenses have been classified according to their nature and have not been offset unless required or permitted by a specific accounting standard, or where offsetting reflects the substance of the transaction or other event.

the following are specific recognition criteria:

Income

Fees and Charges

revenues from the levying of fees or charges set in accordance with various legislative acts (eg. registration and driver licence fees) are recognised when the Department obtains control over the funds. control is generally obtained upon receipt of those funds.

Sale of Goods and Services

revenues derived from the provision of goods and services to other sa government agencies and to the public. these revenues are driven by consumer demand and are recognised upon the delivery of those goods and services to the customers or by reference to the stage of completion.

Grants Received

grant revenue is recognised as income at the time the Department obtains control over the grant funds or obtains the right to receive the grant funds. for grants with unconditional stipulations, control generally occurs at the earlier time of when the Department has been formally advised that the grant has been approved, the agreement has been signed, and/or the grant has been received. for grants with conditional stipulations, control passes at the time the stipulations are satisfied or met.

grants received by the Department from the commonwealth are generally monies given to fund capital or recurrent activities. such grants are recognised as commonwealth revenues and are usually subject to terms and conditions as set out in the contract, correspondence or legislation governing the provision of the grant.

Disposals of Non Current Assets

gains or losses from the disposal of non current assets are recognised on a net basis on the face of the Income statement when control of the asset has passed to the buyer.



145

Resources Received Free of Charge

resources received free of charge may include assets (ie. land, buildings or other property) contributed to the Department at no value or minimal value. resources received free of charge are recorded as revenue in the Income statement at their fair value when control has passed to the Department.

Revenues from SA Government

revenues from sa government include monies appropriated to the Department under the appropriation act or other acts. these appropriations are recognised as revenues when the Department obtains control over the funds. control is generally obtained upon receipt of those funds.

When money has been appropriated in the form of an equity contribution, the treasurer has acquired a financial interest in the net assets of the Department and the appropriation is recorded as contributed equity.

expenses

Employee Benefit Expenses

employee benefit expenses include all costs related to the employment of departmental staff. these costs are recognised when incurred and consist of wages andsalaries,includingamountssacrificed,leaveentitlements,employmenton-costssuch as payroll tax and superannuation, workers compensation payments, and other employee related expenses.

With respect to superannuation, the amount charged to the Income statement includes the contributions made by the Department to the superannuation plan in respect of current services provided by departmental staff. the Department of treasury and finance centrally recognises the superannuation liability in the whole of government general purpose financial report.

Grants Paid

grants provided to other entities for general assistance or for a particular purpose are recognised as expenses depending on the nature of the grant and the recipient entity’s level of control or right to receive the grant. grants provided by the Department to other entities are generally unconditional in nature and are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are paid.

Borrowing Costs

In accordance with AASB 123 Borrowing Costs, borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.



Resources Provided Free of Charge

resources provided free of charge are recorded as expenditure in the Income Statementattheirfairvalue;andintheexpenselineitemstowhichtheyrelate. for example: assets contributed by the Department to other entities at no value or minimal consideration are disclosed separately under other expenses as donated assets.

Payments to SA Governments

payments to sa government include tax equivalent payments and payments to the Department of treasury and finance for Indentured ports (refer to note 45) and cash alignment paid directly to the treasurer through the consolidated account.

3.12 current and non current Items

assets and liabilities are characterised as either current or non current in nature. assets and liabilities that will be sold, consumed or realised as part of the 12 month operating cycle are classified as current assets or current liabilities. all other assets and liabilities are classified as non current.

3.13 cash and cash equivalents

for the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash includes cash on hand and depositsatcallthatarereadilyconvertedtocashandareusedintheday-to-daycash management function of the Department. cash is measured at nominal value.

administered cash is reported separately in the administered financial statements.

Cash Alignment Policy

In october 2003 the government introduced a policy with respect to aligning departmental cash balances with appropriation and expenditure authority. this policycameintoeffectduring2003-04andhascontinuedoperationthroughto2007-08.TheDepartmentwasnotrequiredtotransferanycashbalancesin 2005-06or2006-07,butwasrequiredtomakeapaymentof$19.140million in2007-2008(refertoNote23).

3.14 Receivables

Trade Receivables

trade receivables arise in the normal course of providing goods and services to other agencies and to the public. trade receivables are usually receivable within 30 days after the issue of an invoice or from when the goods/services have been provided under a contractual arrangement.

If payment from a debtor has not been received within 90 days after the amount falls due, under the terms and conditions of the arrangement with the debtor, the Department may be able to charge interest at commercial rates until the whole amount of the debt is paid.



147

the Department determines a provision for doubtful debts based on an annual review of balances for trade receivables. the doubtful debt provision balance is calculated as that amount of specific trade receivables that have been assessed as impaired or uncollectible at reporting date. Bad debts are written off when identified.

Loan Receivables

In accordance with the requirements of accounting policy framework IV Financial Asset and Liability Framework, the Department measures financial assets such as loan receivables at their historic cost, except interest free loans which are measured at the present value of expected repayments.

Finance Lease Receivables

the Department has entered into a number of finance lease arrangements as lessor for the purpose of providing housing and accommodation. receivables to be derived from these lease arrangements have been brought to account in the Balance sheet in the accordance with the requirements of australian accounting standards AASB 117 Leases.

3.15 Inventories

Inventories includes goods and other property held either for sale or for distribution at no or nominal amount in the ordinary course of business.

Inventories held for distribution are measured at cost and may be adjusted where applicable for any loss of service potential. the basis used in assessing loss of service potential includes current replacement cost and technological or functional obsolescence. Inventories (other than those held for distribution at no or nominal consideration) are measured at the lower of cost or their net realisable value.

Inventories of roadside materials are measured at historic cost and stores are measured on a weighted average historic cost basis. Inventories comprising works in progress performed for clients external to the Department are measured at cost. Inventories such as metrotickets consist of tickets held for sale or distribution and are therefore measured at cost.

3.16 contracts in progress

the Department acts as project manager for major capital works in relation to government buildings or government accommodation and for a range of minor and maintenance type activities associated with its role of facilities manager.

profits on these contracts are brought to account on a percentage of completion basis as determined under current engineering estimates and in accordance with australian accounting standard AASB 111 Construction Contracts. Where losses are foreseeable, such losses are provided in full based on current engineering estimates.



the expenses incurred in undertaking these capital works and/or maintenance activities and the revenue from the charging to the respective government Departments are transacted within the Balance sheet. the net of the expenditure incurred and the revenue recovered is represented as a current asset.

3.17 non current Assets (or disposal groups) held for Sale

non current assets classified as held for sale generally consist of land and buildings that have been declared surplus to the needs of the Department for which a plan of sale has been determined, the sale is highly probable and is expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification.

non current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell in accordance with australian accounting standard AASB 5 Non Current Assets Held for Sale, and are presented separately from the other assets in the Balance sheet.

3.18 non current Asset Acquisition and Recognition

the Department capitalises non current physical assets with a value of $10,000 or greater in accordance with policies that are consistent with accounting policy framework III Asset Accounting Framework and the requirements of accounting standard AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment. exceptions to this policy relate to assets under construction, land and buildings, as described below.

the Department’s activities with respect to assets under construction are such that these costs are capitalised and transferred to the Balance sheet to the appropriate asset class from capital Works in progress at the completion of the project. project costs that do not meet the recognition criteria of an asset are expensed. for those projects equal to or greater than $1 million, this expensing of costs occurs during the life of the project. for all other projects, costs to be expensed are identified at/or near the date of practical completion.

the Department recognises land separately from buildings and other improvements, and land acquired for current road projects separately from other land.

In accordance with accounting policy framework III Asset Accounting Framework aps 9.6 the Department has elected not to recognise in its Balance sheet the value of land under water because of the inherent difficulty in the reliable measurement of all land within this category. Land under roads, acquired before 1 July 2008, is not recognised by the Department as an asset. the Department is working with the Department of treasury and finance towards a solution to ensure compliance with AASB 1051, paragraph 15 to recognise land under roads acquired after 1 July 2008.

Buildings or other structures residing on land acquired for current road projects are not recognised in the Balance sheet. the costs incurred in acquiring the buildings in these instances are deemed to be part of the costs of acquiring the land.



149

TheDepartmentalsorecognisesasassetsoutlaysonbuildingfit-outsalthoughtheacquisition of furniture and some office fittings under upgrades or modifications are not capitalised. this is due to these items not being material and the inherent difficulty in separately tracking these items for depreciation and replacement purposes.

the Department performs separate recognition of the components of specific assets it owns or controls only when the fair value of the asset at the time of acquisition is greater than $5 million for infrastructure assets and $1 million for other assets. With the exception of its Walkerville administrative office building, wheretheliftsandtheair-conditioningsystemhavebeenrecognisedseparately, the Department’s assets have been appropriately classified and grouped to warrant no further recognition of components.

most assets acquired and recognised by the Department are initially recorded at cost or at the value of any liabilities assumed, plus any incidental costs incurred with the acquisition.

Where the Department acquires assets at no value, or minimal value, these items are recorded at their fair value in the Balance sheet. If the assets are acquired at no or nominal value as part of a restructuring of administrative arrangements then the assets are recorded at the value recorded by the transferor entity prior to the transfer.

Where the payment for an asset is deferred, the Department measures its value at the present value of the future outflow, discounted using the interest rate of a similar period for borrowing.

3.19 Revaluation of non current Assets

In accordance with accounting policy framework III Asset Accounting Framework aps 3.1 and 3.3, the Department revalues all its non current physical assets to their estimated fair value. revaluations are performed only in instances where the fair value of the asset or asset group at the time of acquisition is greater than $1 million and the estimated useful life is greater than 3 years.

the Department revalues land, buildings and major plant every two or three years depending on the nature or purpose for which that asset is held. office or building fit-outsthatqualifyforseparateassetrecognitionarenotrevaluedandarethereforecarried at their historic cost.

With the exception of the government radio network system, paBX and transmission equipment, the Department does not revalue its information technology/communication and minor plant assets, as these items do not meet the revaluation threshold.

When depreciable non current assets are revalued, the Department uses the ‘gross method’ in accounting for the accumulated depreciation on revaluation.

If at any time the carrying amount of an asset materially differs from its fair value, then the Department revalues the asset regardless of when the last valuation took



place. non current physical assets that are acquired between revaluations are either held at cost until the next valuation, or revalued if the fair value is likely to be materially different from the acquisition value.

revaluation increments are credited directly to the asset revaluation reserve. If within an asset class, an increment reverses a revaluation decrement previously recognised as an expense in the Income statement within that class, the increment is recognised as revenue in the Income statement, but only to the extent of the decrement previously recognised in this financial statement.

revaluation decrements are offset against any previous asset revaluation reserve increment for a particular class of asset and any remaining balance is expensed.

When entire classes or groups of assets are sold, the revaluation increments relating to those assets are transferred to accumulated surplus.

the valuation methodology applied to specific classes of non current assets under revaluations is as follows:

Land, Buildings and Facilities

Land and buildings that are subject to commercial leases and held for the provision of government agency accommodation are revalued every two years based on independent valuations.

Land and buildings that are subject to residential leases and held for the provision of housing of government employees in remote areas are revalued annually using the Valuer-GeneralofSouthAustraliaassessmentadjustedbyanindexfortheaveragegains/losses in real property values experienced over the previous four years.

all other land, buildings and facilities held by the Department are valued on a three year rolling basis.

all other land, except for land under roads, land under water and land acquired for currentroadprojectsisvaluedatfairvaluebasedonValuer-General’sassessmentsor from independent valuations. Land under roads and land under water is not recognised, and land acquired for current road projects is carried at historic cost.

all other buildings and facilities are generally valued at written down replacement cost as determined by independent valuations or by suitably qualified valuation officers of the Department.

WhereValuer-Generalinformationisusedtomeasurethevalueofbuildings,thatvalueisbasedontheValuer-General’sassessmentofthebuildingbeingthedifference between the capital value and the site value of the property.

Network Assets

With the exception of earthworks, all network assets are valued at written down replacement cost either by independent valuers, or by suitably qualified officers of the Department. these assets have no market and are therefore measured at written down replacement cost which is considered to be equivalent to fair value.



151

the reasonableness of this valuation approach for road pavements and earthworks was agreed upon under the advice from an independent engineering consultant (LBDowling&Associates)in2001-2002.

the Department’s methodology for valuing road pavements includes the recognition of salvage values to ensure that depreciation expense on road pavements is in accordance with the treatment prescribed in australian accounting standard AASB 116 Property Plant and Equipment.

network assets are revalued every three years with indexing applied during intervening years only to road pavements, bridges, culverts, and major road signs. Indexing is applied using the Australian Bureau of Statistics road and Bridge construction price Index.

Plant and Equipment

plant and equipment subject to revaluation is valued at written down replacement cost either by independent valuers or qualified departmental officers. plant and equipment, which does not meet the threshold for revaluation, is valued at historic cost. In these instances, historic cost is deemed to be the fair value of these assets.

Non Current Capital Works in Progress

non current works in progress are not revalued but carried at historic cost.

Assets acquired under government restructures or other changes in administrative arrangements:

• TransferofTransAdelaideAssets

on 1 January 2008, various parcels of land, buildings, plant and equipment supporting metro rail infrastructure and previously owned by transadelaide were transferred to the minister for transport. these assets were brought to account at amounts equal to the value recorded by transadelaide as at 31 December 2007, with the understanding that all assets had been valued independently in the past using valuation principles that were not markedly different from those applied to other assets within the Department.

In late June 2008, the Department also initiated an independent stock take for items of plant and equipment transferred.

• FormerAustralianNationalRailLandandAssociatedAssets

these assets continue to be progressively defined, valued and recorded in the Department’s asset register as assets that are vested in or transferred to the



minister for transport. Valuation of some assets has been delayed due to the need to wait for land divisions and completion of transfers to the care and control of the minister.

the value for land under rail or rail reserves on Interstate mainline awaiting title and/or division is based on net present value of future income flows (nominal only).

• FormerEnergySALandandAssociatedAssets

on 1 July 2005, the functions of energy sa transferred to the Department. assets subject to this transfer included land, buildings, plant and equipment associated with the operation of local township power stations.

In may 2007, the Department initiated a revaluation of the former energy sa land assets. as at 30 June 2007, all land had been subsequently defined, titled andrevaluedusingValuer-General’sassessments.Therevaluationofbuildings,plantandequipmentviaindependentvaluationwascompletedin2007-08whereassessments received management sign off in march 2008.

Amendments or variations to departmental revaluation methodologies and schedules:

• WeighBridges/WeighSlabs

the Department has deferred its planned revaluation of weigh bridges and weigh slabstothe2008-09financialyear.TheDepartmentiscurrentlyundertakingan extensive program of upgrading these assets which may involve the decommissioning and replacement of some items. revaluations will therefore be performed at the completion of these upgrades. the written down replacement cost for weigh stations and weigh slabs as at 30 June 2008 is $0.904 million.

• TrafficSignals

the Department has also deferred it revaluation of traffic signal systems to the end of December 2008. the deferral is primarily due to a need to focus limited resources towards completing the upgrade of the new rIts (register of Intelligent transport systems) database. In addition to meeting corporate asset reporting requirements, the new database is expected to provide a more modern global and spatial register of items and facilitate the management of traffic signal infrastructure.

3.20 non current (capital) works In progress

the Department is a key provider of infrastructure for the state and constructs or modifies assets as part of its role in coordinating or facilitating the delivery of transport related and other key strategic or priority projects.

When capitalised, works in progress result in the recognition of non current assets such as network assets and other items of property, plant or equipment in the Balance sheet.

In accordance with AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment, all works in progress arising from these activities are valued at cost.

3.21 Intangible Assets

Anintangibleassetisanidentifiablenon-monetaryassetwithoutphysicalsubstance. Intangible assets are measured at cost. following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation.

the acquisition or internal development of software is only capitalised when the expenditure can be reliably measured in accordance with AASB 138 Intangible Assets, existing Departmental policies and where the amount of expenditure is greater than or equal to $100,000, in accordance with accounting policy framework III Asset Accounting Framework.

costs associated with the development or implementation of software applications that do not meet the criteria for asset recognition (eg. training expenses, research costs, etc) are expensed.

under these requirements the Department has recognised at cost assets relating to the following significant items of software:

• TransportRegulationUserManagementProcessingSystem(TRUMPS)

• StrategicAssetManagementInformationSystem(SAMIS)

• OfficeAccommodationManagementInformationSystem(OAMIS)

• TelecommunicationBillingSystem(TBS)

• WebBasedPurchasingInterface(withICTvendors)

3.22 Revaluation of Intangible Assets

software applications that have been specifically developed for the Department and cannot be actively traded in the market place are not revalued. these intangibles will continue to be reported at their historic cost less accumulated amortisation in accordance with AASB 138 Intangible Assets.

3.23 depreciation and Amortisation of Assets

amortisation is used in relation to intangible assets, while depreciation is applied to physical assets such as property, plant and equipment.



the useful life of an asset is generally determined on the basis of “economic useful life to the entity”. the useful lives of all major assets held by the Department are reassessed on an annual basis.

With the exception of land, unsealed roads (graded and formed), earthworks and works in progress, all non current assets having a limited useful life are systematically depreciated/amortised over their estimated useful lives in a manner that reflects the consumption of their service potential.

Land, unsealed roads, earthworks and work in progress are not depreciated. Buildings residing on land acquired for current road projects are not recognised and therefore are not depreciated.

the value of finance lease assets is amortised over the shorter of the lease term and the underlying asset’s useful life.

capitalised software is amortised over the useful life of the intangible asset, with a maximum period for amortisation of ten years.

Depreciation/amortisation for non current assets are determined as follows:

Significant review of useful lives of unsealed roads (graded and formed)

In2007-08andinaccordancewithitspolicyrequiringtheannualreviewofassetuseful lives, the Department reassessed its current deprecation basis for the unsealed road network. Due to the “earthworks” characteristics of both graded and formed unsealed roads, and the fact that ongoing maintenance essentially preserves the economic life of these roads in perpetuity, the Department concluded thatsuchroadshaveunlimitedusefullivesandwerethereforenon-depreciableinnature. as a consequence of this change in accounting policy for the useful lives of these assets, the Department reassessed the carrying value of unsealed roads held in its Balance sheet and in accordance with paragraph 22 of AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, made a retrospective adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset of $93.275 million.



3.24 Remediation of non current Assets

Land remediation costs are capitalised and depreciated only where the resultant costs incurred in performing that remediation have met the definition and recognition criteria of an asset. Land remediation undertaken within the Department is primarily designed to restore the asset to its original state or condition and would not normally meet the criteria for asset recognition under the AASB Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements, paragraphs89-90‘Recognition of Assets’. these costs are therefore expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Where the remedial work is to be performed in response to a present obligation, either under legislation or under a contractual arrangement to a third party, the Department recognises a provision for any future work in accordance with the requirements of AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.

3.25 payables

Payablesincludecreditors,accruedexpensesandemploymenton-costs. all payables are measured at their nominal amount and are unsecured.

Creditors

creditors represent the amounts owed by the Department for goods and services provided by other entities that are unpaid at the end of the reporting period where an invoice has been received. creditors are normally settled within 30 days after the Department receives an invoice in accordance with treasurer’s Instruction 11 Payment of Creditors Accounts.

Accrued Expenses

accrued expenses represent amounts owed by the Department for goods and services provided by other entities that are unpaid at the end of the reporting period where an invoice has not been received.

Employment On-costs

Employmenton-costsincludesuperannuationcontributionsandpayrolltaxwithrespect to outstanding liabilities for salaries and wages, long service leave and annual leave.

the Department also makes contributions to several state government and externally managed superannuation schemes. these contributions are treated as an expense when they occur. there is no liability for payments to beneficiaries as these obligations have been assumed by the respective superannuation schemes. the only payable outstanding at reporting date relates to any contributions due but not yet paid.



159

3.26 Borrowings

Borrowings consist of loans and finance leases.

Loans are recognised when issued at the full amount received and carried at thisvaluelessanyrepaymentsuntiltheloanissettled.Intra-divisionborrowings (orloans)arenon-interestbearingandareeliminateduponconsolidation.

Interest charges on loans and finance leases are not added to the balance of the loan due. these costs are recognised separately as ‘borrowing costs’ in the Income statement.

3.27 leases

the Department has entered into finance leases and operating leases both as lessor and lessee and has recognised assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses associated with these business dealings in accordance with AASB 117 Leases and the Government Leasing Guidelines as issued by the Department of treasury and finance.

Finance Leases – the Department as Lessor

• RecreationalJetties

the Department has entered into leases as lessor, in regards to the government’s recreational Jetties Divestment program where jetties have been leased to councils throughout the state. peppercorn rentals of $1 per annum applyoverthe25or99-yearleasetermforeachlease.

under the terms of the lease agreement, these leases have been categorised as finance leases due to the passing of risks and benefits incidental to ownership to the lessee. since the leases provide no material revenue to the Department, the leases have nil value. the underlying assets are also no longer recorded on the Department’s asset register.

• GovernmentEmployeeHousing

the Department provides housing services on a leasehold basis to government employees based in remote areas of the state. as lessor, the Department recognises finance lease receivables in relation to these properties at an amount equal to its net investment in the lease. finance lease interest income is recognised based on the periodic rate of return on that net investment. Lease payments from the lessee are applied against the gross investment in the lease to reduce both the principal and the unearned interest income.



Finance Leases – the Department as Lessee

• GovernmentAccommodation–RomaMitchellBuilding

the Department is responsible for the finance lease in relation to government office accommodation for roma mitchell house, north terrace and has recognised assets and liabilities at the fair value of the leased property. Lease liabilities under these arrangements are classified as both current and non current, with the minimum lease payments allocated between interest expense/borrowing costs and the reduction of lease liability for the period.

the 40 year lease on roma mitchell house commenced in July 1987. ownership of the building will transfer to the Department on payment of a nominal sum at theendofthelease.Theleaseagreementincludedahalf-waybuy-outoptionat 1 July 2007 for the lessee which the Department had chosen not to exercise. under the terms and conditions of the lease agreement, the Department is also liable to pay contingent rentals based on the adelaide consumer price Index.

• PersonalComputersandNetworkPrinters

the Department has entered into various lease arrangements as lessee with respect to the use of its computer equipment. under the australian accounting standards and Government Leasing Guidelines, such agreements are treated as finance leases.

• StateCoreNetwork

the Department has numerous finance leases with eDs australia and private operators for information technology computer hardware and software. Theleasetermsaregenerallythreetofiveyearsandarenon-cancellable. at the end of the lease, ownership of the leased property is transferred to the Department upon payment of a nominal sum.

Operating Leases – the Department as Lessor

the Department leases commercial properties to external parties through operating leases. Income derived from these leases is recognised as rental income in the Income statement in the period in which it is earned, and is representative of the patterns of benefits derived from the leased assets.

Operating Leases – the Department as Lessee

the Department has a number of operating lease agreements as lessee for land, plant, motor vehicles, office equipment and commercial and residential accommodation. operating lease payments are charged to the Income statement on a basis that is representative of the pattern of benefits derived from the leased assets.



161

Lease Incentives

all incentives for the agreement of new or renewed operating leases are recognised as an integral part of the net consideration agreed for the use of the leased asset. Incentives received to enter into operating leases are recognised as a liability.

the aggregate benefits of lease incentives received by the department in respect of operating leases have been recorded as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight line basis.

Where the lease incentive is applied to the acquisition of a leasehold improvement orfit-outcontrolledbygovernment,thesearecapitalisedasanassetanddepreciated over the estimated useful life of the improvement.

3.28 employee Benefits

Benefits accrue to employees as a result of services provided up to reporting date and generally consist of unpaid salaries and wages, annual and long service leave.

Wages, Salaries, Annual Leave and Sick Leave

the liability for salaries and wages is measured as the amount unpaid at reporting date at remuneration rates current at the reporting date.

the liability for annual leave reflects the value of total annual leave entitlements of all employees as at 30 June and is measured at nominal amounts expected to be paid.

Noprovisionhasbeenmadeforsickleaveasallsickleaveisnon-vestingandtheaverage sick leave taken in future years by employees is estimated to be less than the annual entitlement of sick leave.

Long Service Leave

the liability for long service leave is recognised by the Department after an employee has completed 6.5 years of service. an acturarial assessment of long service leave undertaken by the Department of treasury and finance based on a significant sample of employees throughout the south australian public sector determined that the liability measured using the short hand method was not materially different from the liability measured using the present value of the expected future payments. this calculation is consistent with the Department’s experience of employee retention and leave taken.

the long service leave liability has been allocated between current and non current liabilities using the leave pattern history of previous years.



Employee Benefit On-costs

Relatedon-costsofpayrolltax,superannuationandworkerscompensationpremiums are shown separately under the item payables in the Balance sheet asemploymenton-costs.

3.29 provisions

provisions are recognised when the Department has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

provisions have been reported to reflect workers compensation claims not settled, amounts provided for and payable under the tax equivalent regime (ter), and future remediation work required on land under the ports corp Business and sale agreement.

the workers compensation provision is based on an actuarial assessment coordinated by the public sector Workforce Division of the Department of the premier and cabinet.

the provision for ter payments is based on the income tax expense payable at the current companies income tax rate of 30 cents. (refer to note 3.8).

the land remediation provision has been calculated on the basis of revised project manager estimates of the value of future remedial work required to meet agreed environmental standards. given that the remaining work has been scheduledtobeperformedoveraperiodoffouryearsfrom2007-08,theseestimates are discounted at their net present value in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 45 of AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.

3.30 other liabilities

the Department receives monies in advance in the form of conditional grants to undertake specific infrastructure works in future periods (ie. ausLink advance specific projects). as these works are completed the amounts received are recognised as revenues in the Income statement. the balance of any unspent grant monies as at 30 June is recognised as a liability in the Balance sheet.

the Department receives incentive monies from building owners that are applied towardsthecostsofofficefit-outsperformedoncommercialpropertiesoccupiedby other government agencies. these monies are recognised as revenues when works are completed with the balance of unspent funds recognised as liabilities.



163

3.31 unrecognised contractual commitments and contingent Assets and liabilities

commitments include those operating and capital commitments arising from contractual or statutory sources are measured at their nominal amount. (refer to note 42).

contingent assets and liabilities are not recognised in the Balance sheet, but are disclosed by way of a note and if quantifiable, are measured at their nominal value. (refer to note 43).

unrecognised contractual commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of gst recoverable from or payable to the australian taxation office.

3.32 transactions by the government as owner

Where monies have been appropriated to the Department under the Appropriation Act in the form of an equity contribution, the treasurer has acquired a financial interest in the net assets of the Department. monies issued or applied in this manner are therefore recorded as equity contributions from sa government in accordance with treasurer’s Instruction 3 Appropriation.

Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease (revised)

Specific criteria for determining whether an arrangement is or contains a lease. Determination is based on an assessment of whether the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset and whether the arrangement conveys right to the asset.

1 Jan 2008

The Department would not enter into any arrangement for the use of an asset in return for payment unless the arrangement takes the legal form of a lease. Amendments are not expected to alter existing accounting practices or to have any impact on the Department’s financial statements.

1 July 2008

AASB Interpretation 12 and Interpretation 129

Service Concession Arrangements and Service Concession Arrangements Disclosures

Interpretation 12 provides accounting guidance for operators participating in public to private service concession arrangements but no guidance for grantors. AASB Interpretation 129 details disclosures required by both operators and grantors

1 Jan 2008

The Department’s future participation in service concession arrangements is unknown. Unless AASB approves ‘mirror’ accounting treatment for operators and grantors, these amendments are not expected to have an impact on the amounts disclosed in the Department’s financial statements.

1 July 2008




AASB 2007-2

Amendments to AAS arising from AASB Interpretation 12 [AASB 1, AASB 117, AASB 118, AASB 120, AASB 121, AASB 127, AASB 131 & AASB 139]

Amendments provide for an exemption from AASB 1 requirements, i.e. prior period information be restated as if the requirements of AASB Interpretation 12 had always applied. Exemption allows a first time adopter to apply AASB Interpretation 12 to a service concession arrangement essentially from the start of the earliest period presented.

1 Jan 2008

Not all amended standards are relevant to the operations of the Department. For those standards that are relevant, amendments to AASB 1 are not expected to have an impact on the Department‘s financial statements unless the AASB approves ‘mirror’ accounting treatment for both operators and grantors. Amendments to other standards are editorial in nature and will therefore have no substantive impact on the financial statements.

4.2 other changes to Accounting policies

Indexation of Earthworks

During2007-08theDepartmentperformedareviewofitscurrentrevaluationmethodology which requires the annual indexing of earthworks. the review was aimed at determining whether a more appropriate or relevant index other than the australian Bureau of statistics road and Bridge construction Index should be used.

findings from the review have indicated the use of this particular index to be inappropriate and the practice of annual indexing is not supported due to the small volatility or fluctuation in the underlying costs or prices generally forming the value of earthworks. the Department has therefore elected to discontinue its practice of annual indexing for earthworks by this index, and has opted for a policy of revaluing earthworks every three years with no indexing during intervening years.

this change in policy took effect from 1 July 2007. earthworks were last revalued in 2006-07resultinginnopriorperiodimpacts.

Unsealed Roads – Review of Useful Lives

Amendments relate to the relocation of certain relevant requirements from AAS 27, 29 and 31, substantively unamended, into other existing topic-based standards.

1 July 2008

Not all amended standards are relevant to the operations of the Department. For those standards that are relevant, amendments to AASB 5, 101, 127 and 137 will have no impact. Amendments to AAS 116 which provide further guidance on the treatment of heritage and cultural assets are not expected to materially alter existing accounting practices but may require the Department to carefully reassess the depreciable nature of any cultural and heritage assets held.

movement in the allowance for doubtful debts

the allowance for doubtful debts (allowance for impairment loss) is recognised when there is objective evidence that a receivable is impaired. an allowance for an impairment loss has been recognised in ‘other expenses’ in the Income statement for specific debtors that have been assessed on a collective basis for which such evidence exists.

Interest Rate and credit Risk

receivables are raised for all goods and services provided for which payment has not been received. receivables are normally settled within 30 days or from when goods or services have been provided under a contractual agreement. trade receivables and accruedrevenuesarenon-interestbearing.

other than as recognised in the allowance for doubtful debts, it is not anticipated that debtors will fail to discharge their obligations. the carrying amount of receivables approximates their fair value due to being receivable on demand. the carrying amount for receivables which includes an amount owing of $12.924 million relating to the Indenture ports (refer to note 45) reflects the most significant concentration of credit risk exposure for the Department.

terms, conditions and Accounting policies

Financial Assets

the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents represents fair value. cash is available at call and is recorded at cost. Deposits with the treasurer can be used in accordance with the treasurer’s/under treasurer’s approval.

receivables are raised for all goods and services provided for which payment has not been received. receivables are normally settled within 30 days or in accordance with the terms specified in the contract.



203

Financial Liabilities

creditors and accruals are recognised for all amounts unpaid at an amount equal to the value of goods and services provided. creditors are normally settled within 30 days.

finance leases are recorded at amounts equal to the lower of the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments using a government borrowing rate. Lease payments are made in accordance with the schedules determined at the inception of each lease.

Borrowings (unsecured loans) are recognised at cost. the interest rate is determined by the treasurer. the interest rate was 7.0% as at 30 June 2008.

credit Risk

credit risk arises when there is the possibility of the Department’s debtors defaulting on their contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Department. the carrying amount for receivables which includes an amount owing of $12.924 million relating to the Indenture ports (refer to note 45) reflects the most significant concentration of credit risk exposure for the Department. the Department has credit management policies and procedures in place to ensure business transactions continue to occur with customers with appropriate credit history.

liquidity Risk

Liquidity arises where the Department is unable to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. In relation to this risk, the Department’s exposure is considered to be minimal. the continued existence of the Department in its present form and with its present programs is dependent on government policy, the operation of current fee and charges structures, and continuing appropriations from various acts.

Fair value (market) Risk

the Department’s exposure to fair value (market) risk is considered minimal. financial instruments are disclosed at a carrying amount that approximates their net fair value.

Theamountforfinancialassetsapproximatesthenetfairvalueduetotheshort-termto maturity of the items, or due to the assets being receivable on demand. the carrying amount of financial liabilities is considered to be a reasonable estimate of net fair value.

Foreign currency Risk

the Department enters into business transactions that require the payment of goods or services in a foreign currency. foreign currency risk associated with significant payments is minimised using a strategy of forward cover contract through safa. the forward cover aims to hedge against losses arising from any foreign currency price fluctuations at the date of settlement.

Interest Rate Risk

the Department’s exposure to interest rate risk is measured in reference to the level ofinterestandnon-interestbearingassetsandliabilitiesheldatreportingdate.

Interest revenue from interest bearing assets is calculated using the common public sector Interest rate (cpsIr) and/or other rates as determined by the treasurer.

the interest expense implicit in any finance lease payment is fixed at the inception of the lease and is calculated using prevailing government borrowing rates as advised by the south australian financing authority (safa).

Interest expense on the Department’s unsecured loans is calculated using the cpsIr. repayments on unsecured loans are negotiated with safa. the Department’s revenue base is sufficient for the purpose of servicing its interest or loan repayment commitments.

credit Risk

credit risk arises when there is the possibility of the Department’s debtors defaulting on their contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Department. the Department measures credit risk on a fair value basis and monitors risk on a regular basis.

the Department has minimal concentration of credit risk. the Department has policies and procedures in place to ensure that transactions occur with customers with appropriate credit history.

liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises where the Department is unable to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. the continued existence of the Department is dependent on state government policy and on continuing appropriations by parliament for the Department’s administration and programs. the Department settles undisputed accounts within 30 days from the date of the invoice or date the invoice is first received. In the event of a dispute, payment is made 30 days from resolution.

the Department’s exposure to liquidity risk is insignificant based on past experience and current assessment of risk.



235

the carrying amount of financial liabilities recorded in table 21.1 represent the Department’s maximum exposure to liquidity risk.

market risk

market risk for the Department is primarily through interest rate risk. exposure to interest rate risk will not arise on the administered interest bearing liabilities as the interest rate is fixed over the term of the loan.
