The Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure (DTPLI)’s vision is for a prosperous, connected and liveable Victoria. DTPLI undertakes integrated long-term planning for Victoria’s cities and regions, and delivers infrastructure and programs that drive productivity, support investment and enhance liveability.

The establishment of DTPLI comes at a time of significant change in Victoria. The state’s population is growing strongly and is projected to reach 10 million by 2051. This represents a significant task in building new communities, redeveloping urban areas and providing the necessary infrastructure to accommodate growth on this scale.

DTPLI’s focus over 2013-14 has been on implementing the government’s major planning policies and delivering its significant infrastructure program. In delivering these priorities, we have worked to better understand the needs of our service users, strengthen collaboration with our partners and align public and private investment to achieve better value for Victorians.

DTPLI also underwent its own organisational reform during the year, as the department successfully consolidated its new structure. This has given the department and its portfolio agency partners a clearer strategic focus on responding to population growth and changes in the economy, integrating the state’s long-term land use and transport planning and engaging partners across all sectors of the community in helping shape the state’s future.

SECRETARY’S FOREWORD

Our achievementsDTPLI’s first full year of operation has delivered significant achievements across the department’s portfolios.

DTPLI established an integrated long-term planning vision for Victoria’s cities and regions with the release of Plan Melbourne, the Victorian Freight and Logistics Plan and eight Regional Growth Plans. Together, these long-term infrastructure plans for the state will drive productivity and support investment and employment growth for decades to come.

The department finalised key elements of the Regional Rail Link project ahead of time and within budget, progressed the Stage 1 redevelopment of Melbourne Park, the eastern section of the East West Link, the Port Capacity Project at Webb Dock and the development of the Port of Hastings as Victoria’s second container port.

DTPLI, in conjunction with the Metropolitan Planning Authority, also launched some of the largest urban development projects in the state’s history including Fishermans Bend, which will house a future community of 80,000 residents and up to 40,000 workers, and the East Werribee Employment Precinct, the largest commercial precinct on government owned land in Victoria’s history, which will generate more than 58,000 jobs and more than 7,000 homes at its completion.

Some of our other major achievements for 2013-14 were:

• Implementing reforms to residential, commercial, industrial and rural planning zones to streamline the state’s planning and building system and give greater certainty to residents and businesses about future commercial activity and housing in Victoria.

• Developing legislation to reform taxi licensing, fare setting, driver remuneration and training, and non-cash surcharges.

DTPLI Annual Report 2013-144

• Developing and implementing improvements to the governance and operations of local governments through new councillor conduct and performance reporting legislation, and a review of the electoral system.

• Leading a whole-of-government response to reducing the administrative burden on local government that resulted in 38 reporting requirements being streamlined or abolished so that local governments can focus on service delivery to local communities.

• Introducing standard development contribution levies in Victoria, ensuring that essential infrastructure including roads, drainage and community and sporting facilities are provided in line with residential growth.

• Introducing reforms through the Building Legislation Amendment Bill 2014 to help minimise and resolve disputes between home owners and builders, and working with the newly created Victorian Building Authority to implement these reforms.

• Continuing to assist regional councils with long-term land use plans, planning permits and amendments through the Rural Council Planning Flying Squad, which completed 73 projects for 35 regional councils, including 239 permits and 82 amendments.

• Facilitating participation in sport and recreation by supporting 162 facility projects through the Community Facility Funding Program, supporting 80 sporting events through the Major Events Fund and Significant Sporting Events Program and recording record participation in the 2014 Premier’s Active April.

• Conducting more than 700,000 land dealings or property transactions that supported the trade of more than $70 billion worth of property.

Our peopleI would like to thank all of our people for their contribution in delivering the government’s priorities during a period of significant change. I am proud to lead such a committed and high performing group, and I look forward to continuing our work to improve the lives of all Victorians.

Accountable officer’s declarationIn accordance with the Financial Management Act 1994, I am pleased to present the Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2014.

Dean Yates Secretary


This is achieved through a variety of mechanisms including robust land use planning; land administration; heritage and building systems; managing and improving Victoria’s transport system; supporting a responsive and accountable local government sector; planning and delivering valued improvements to local infrastructure; and ensuring greater access to sport and recreation.

In addition, DTPLI supports its ministers overseeing the efficient operations of 28 portfolio organisations and four administrative offices. Their functions span service delivery, infrastructure development, asset management, strategic planning, and regulation and enforcement.

DTPLI assists the ministers in the administration of their portfolios by providing policy advice and undertaking statutory functions. This includes leading strategic policy development and regulatory reform; leading and coordinating infrastructure development; overseeing portfolio organisation governance and administration; carrying out enforcement functions; and, liaising with other Victorian departments, agencies and other levels of government. The portfolio organisations and administrative offices are responsible for delivering services and undertaking some of the above roles in relation to their specific areas of responsibility.

Five business groups work together to support our ministers and our portfolio organisations to deliver the Victorian Government’s priorities:

• Transport – Plans and coordinates the state’s transport system including leading strategic policy development, overseeing transport regulation and safety, and coordinating the delivery of major transport infrastructure projects.

• Planning – Manages the state’s planning, heritage and building systems, including developing long-term planning policies, administering statutory planning responsibilities and facilitating urban development.

• Local Infrastructure – Manages the state’s land title system, facilitates effective governance of Victoria’s local government sector and provides infrastructure to support urban development and participation in local sporting and recreational opportunities.

• Corporate – Provides business support services to support ministers, the department and DTPLI portfolio organisations to achieve the integrated delivery of transport, planning and local infrastructure.

• Finance – Provides financial management support to ministers, the department and DTPLI portfolio organisations to achieve cost effective delivery of its projects, services and programs.

The Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure (DTPLI) provides the seamless integration of land use and transport planning with local infrastructure to deliver better outcomes for Victorians.

Financial summary and review 2013-14

In 2013-14, the Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure (DTPLI) continued to have the responsibilities of the transport matters of the former Department of Transport (DOT), and now includes planning and local infrastructure activities of the former Department of Planning and Community Development (DPCD), land administration activities of Land Victoria and the Office of the Victorian Government Architect (refer to Note 1(C)).

The department’s 2013-14 net result was a surplus of $21.9 million compared to $93.3 million in 2012-13. The 2013-14 result reflects the timing of payments from trust funds controlled by DTPLI and impairment changes.

DTPLI’s total operating expenses in 2013-14 was $6.0 billion. The majority of DTPLI’s expenditure was associated with payments to the transport agencies including $4.0 billion for Public Transport Victoria and $1.2 billion for VicRoads.

Note 2 of the financial statements details DTPLI’s expenditure on outputs delivered. These outputs include Transport Safety and Security, Integrated Transport Services, Transport System Development and Maintenance, and Metropolitan and Regional Planning and Development.

The Department’s operating statement includes revenue earned by DTPLI as payments for outputs delivered. The delivery of DTPLI’s outputs is measured against agreed output targets and the Treasurer certifies revenue based on the level of performance. In 2013-14, DTPLI managed its outputs within its available resources.

Capital funding to DTPLI portfolio agencies in 2013-14 was $2.3 billion which mainly related to new trains and trams, and infrastructure renewal, road construction projects, including the M80 Ring Road upgrade and Western Highway Ballarat and Stawell duplication. Rail assets created by DTPLI’s capital expenditure are transferred by way of equity (see Note 22) to VicTrack as the entity responsible for reporting the State’s rail infrastructure network. Similarly, assets created by DTPLI’s funding of road programs will be reflected in the accounts of VicRoads.

The financial statements presented later in this report are prepared in accordance with the Financial Management Act 1994 and applicable Australian Accounting Standards. In particular, they are presented in a format consistent with AASB 1049 ‘Whole of Government and General Government Sector’. The financial statements relate specifically to the operations of DTPLI and include the operations of the Director of Transport Safety, Chief Investigator Transport Safety, Office of the Victorian Government Architect, Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate and the Regional Rail Link Authority. All other agencies and corporations are separate reporting entities and therefore prepare their own annual reports (including audited financial statements).


The table below shows the financial results for the last six years.

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policiesThese annual financial statements represent the audited general purpose financial statements for the Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure (DPTLI) for the period ending 30 June 2014. The purpose of the report is to provide users with information about DTPLI’s stewardship of resources entrusted to it.

(A) Statement of complianceThese general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Management Act 1994 (FMA) and applicable Australian Accounting Standards (AAS), which include interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). In particular, they are presented in a manner consistent with the requirements of AASB 1049 Whole of Government and General Government Sector Financial Reporting. Where appropriate, those AAS paragraphs applicable to not-for-profit entities have been applied.

Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events is reported.

To gain a better understanding of the terminology used in this report, a glossary of terms can be found in Note 31.

The annual financial statements were authorised for issue by the secretary of DTPLI on 5 September 2014.

(B) Basis of accounting preparation and measurement

The accrual basis of accounting has been applied in the preparation of these financial statements whereby assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses are recognised in the reporting period to which they relate, regardless of when cash is received or paid.

Judgements, estimates and assumptions are required to be made about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on professional judgements derived from historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and associated assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and also future periods that are affected by the revision. Judgements and assumptions made by management in the application of AAS that have significant effects on the financial statements and estimates relate to:

• the fair value of land, buildings, infrastructure, plant and equipment (refer to Note 1(M))

• assumptions for employee benefit provisions based on likely tenure of existing staff, patterns of leave claims, future salary movements and future discount rates (refer to Note 1(N)).

These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, and prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention except for:

• non-current physical assets which, subsequent to acquisition, are measured at a revalued amount being their fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent impairment losses. Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amounts do not materially differ from their fair value.

• the fair value of an asset other than land is generally based on its depreciated replacement value.


Consistent with AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement, DTPLI determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurements such as property, plant and equipment and financial instruments in accordance with the requirements of AASB 13 and the relevant Financial Reporting Directions.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

• Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

• Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

• Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, DTPLI has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

In addition, DTPLI determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

The Valuer-General Victoria (VGV) is DTPLI’s independent valuation agency.

DTPLI, in conjunction with VGV, monitors changes in the fair value of each asset and liability through relevant data sources to determine whether revaluation is required.

(C) Reporting entityThe financial statements cover DTPLI as an individual reporting entity.

DTPLI is a government department of the State of Victoria, established pursuant to an order made by the Premier under the Administrative Arrangements Act 1983.

On 9 April 2013, the name of the Department of Transport (DOT) was changed to the Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure (DTPLI). For the period of 9 April to 30 June 2013, DTPLI continued to have the responsibilities relating to transport matters of the former DOT. An administrative order and a declaration under section 30 of the Public Administration Act 2004 were issued for the transfer of functions and related staff from the former Department of Planning and Community Development (DPCD), effective on 3 June 2013.

Expenses relating to the transferred staff, and other directly associated business expenses incurred between 3 to 30 June 2013, are reflected in the financial statements of the former DPCD from which they transferred as the transferred staff continued to contribute to the delivery of the former DPCD’s outputs during 2012-13.

On 1 July 2013, the planning and local infrastructure functions were transferred to DTPLI, in accordance with orders made under the Administration Arrangements Act 1983. DTPLI’s responsibilities include the:

• existing transport functions such as strategic transport planning

• functions from the former DPCD such as local government, sport and recreation, planning policy

• functions from the Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) and the Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC) being Land Victoria and the Office of the Victorian Government Architect, respectively.

The transfer of functions into DTPLI was accompanied by the transfer of resources from the former DPCD, DEPI and DPC. Refer to Note 3.

DTPLI’s principal address is 1 Spring Street, Melbourne, VIC, 3000.

Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)


DTPLI is an administrative agency acting on behalf of the Crown.

The financial statements include all the controlled activities of DTPLI.

The financial statements include comparatives to the amounts shown in the former DOT’s annual report as at 30 June 2013. These comparatives include a restatement reflecting changes in classifications.

The following statutory appointments and administrative offices are included in DTPLI’s reporting entity:

• The Director, Transport Safety, is a position established under section 171 of the Transport Integration Act 2010. The primary objective of the Director, Transport Safety is to independently seek the highest transport safety standards that are reasonably practicable consistent with the vision statement and the transport system objectives.

• The Chief Investigator, Transport Safety is a position established under section 179 of the Transport Integration Act 2010. The objective of the Chief Investigator, Transport Safety is to seek to improve transport safety by providing for the independent no-blame investigation of transport safety matters consistent with the vision statement and the transport system objectives.

• Regional Rail Link Authority (RRLA) is an administrative office established under section 11 of the Public Administration Act 2004. RRLA was established to deliver the Regional Rail Link Project.

• Office of the Victorian Government Architect (OVGA) is an administrative office established under section 11 of the Public Administration Act 2004. OVGA was established to provide leadership and strategic advice to government about architecture and urban design and promotes an awareness about how good design can make great living places and urban environments.

• Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate (LGICI) is an administrative office established under section 11 of the Public Administration Act 2004. LGICI was established to assess compliance with the Local Government Act 1989.

A description of the nature of DTPLI’s operations and its principal activities are included in the Appendices on page 137, which do not form part of the financial statements.

Objectives and funding

DTPLI’s overall objectives are to provide:

• Safer transport services and infrastructure. Make safety improvements to transport infrastructure and systems, improve security management and implement programs to promote safer transport user behaviour.

• Higher quality transport services. Plan and provide higher levels of service delivery, and improve accessibility and provide better transport information.

• Well targeted improvements and maintenance to transport system assets. Undertake strategic planning and project development for transport system investments, build and procure new transport assets, and upgrade and maintain existing transport assets.

• Plan for the future growth and transformation of cities and regions. Develop and implement integrated long-term plans and planning reform to manage population growth, enhance liveability and guide integrated land use and transport planning, infrastructure provision, housing supply, urban design and heritage conservation delivered through streamlined planning, building and heritage systems.

• Leadership, advocacy and advice on the quality of architecture and the built environment. Provide advocacy and strategic advice to government and key stakeholders to support high quality architectural and built environment outcomes, improve whole of government procurement processes and build on Victoria’s reputation for design excellence.

• Deliver effective reform and governance of local government. Develop and maintain systems that support a strong, transparent and accountable system of local government.



• Facilitate strategic investment in state and local infrastructure. Develop proposals for state and local infrastructure projects, including sporting facilities, to stimulate growth, boost competitiveness, support population growth and build on Victoria’s outstanding reputation for hosting major sporting events at world class facilities.

• Deliver benefits for the community through effective management of Victoria’s land assets. Deliver quality land administration services to support social, environmental and economic outcomes.

DTPLI is predominantly funded by accrual-based parliamentary appropriations for the provision of outputs that are further detailed in Note 2 Departmental (controlled) outputs.

Outputs of the department

Information about DTPLI’s output activities and the expenses, income, assets and liabilities which are reliably attributable to those output activities, is set out in the output activities schedule (refer Note 2). Information about expenses, income, assets and liabilities administered by DTPLI are given in the schedule of administered expenses and income and the schedule of administered assets and liabilities (refer Note 23).

(D) Basis of consolidationIn accordance with AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements:

• The consolidated financial statements of DTPLI incorporate assets and liabilities of all reporting entities controlled by DTPLI as at 30 June 2014, and their income and expenses for that part of the reporting period in which control existed.

• The consolidated financial statements exclude bodies within the portfolio that are not controlled by DTPLI and therefore are not consolidated into DTPLI’s financial statements. Bodies and activities that are administered (refer explanation under ‘administered items’ below) are also not controlled and not consolidated into DTPLI’s financial statements.

Where control of an entity is obtained during the financial period, its results are included in the comprehensive operating statement from the date on which control commenced. Where control ceases during a financial period, the entity’s results are included for that part of the period in which control existed. Where dissimilar accounting policies are adopted by entities and their effect is considered material, adjustments are made to ensure consistent policies are adopted in these financial statements.

In the process of preparing consolidated financial statements for DTPLI, all material transactions and balances between consolidated entities are eliminated.

Consistent with the requirements of AASB 1004 Contributions, contributions by owners (that is, contributed capital and its repayment) are treated as equity transactions and therefore, do not form part of the income and expenses of DTPLI.

Administered items

Certain resources are administered by DTPLI on behalf of the State. While DTPLI is accountable for the transactions involving administered items, it does not have the discretion to deploy the resources for its own benefit or the achievement of objectives. Accordingly transactions and balances relating to administered items are not recognised as departmental income, expenses, assets or liabilities within the body of the financial statements, but are disclosed in Note 23.

Administered income includes fees and fines and the proceeds from the sale of administered surplus land and buildings. Administered assets include government income earned but not yet collected. Administered liabilities include government expenses incurred but yet to be paid.

Except as otherwise disclosed, administered resources are accounted for on an accrual basis using the same accounting policies adopted for the recognition of the departmental items in the financial statements. Both controlled and administered items of DTPLI are consolidated into the financial statements of the State.

Disclosures related to administered items can be found in Note 23.



Funds held in trust

DTPLI has responsibility for transactions and balances relating to trust funds on behalf of third parties external to the Victorian Government. Income, expenses, assets and liabilities managed on behalf of third parties are not recognised in these financial statements as they are managed on a fiduciary and custodial basis, and therefore are not controlled by DTPLI or the Victorian Government. Trust Funds are reported in Note 26.

(E) Scope and presentation of financial statements

Comprehensive operating statement

The comprehensive operating statement comprises three components, being ‘net result from transactions (or termed as ‘net operating balance’), ‘other economic flows included in net result’, as well as ‘other economic flows – other comprehensive income’. The sum of the former two, represents the net result.

The net result is equivalent to profit or loss derived in accordance with AASs.

This classification is consistent with the Whole-of-Victorian Government reporting format and is allowed under AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements.

Balance sheet

Assets and liabilities are presented in liquidity order with assets aggregated into financial assets and non-financial assets. Current and non-current assets and liabilities (non-current generally being those assets or liabilities expected to be recovered or wholly settled more than 12 months) are disclosed in the notes, where relevant.

Cash flow statement

Cash flows are classified according to whether or not they arise from operating activities, investing activities, or financing activities. This classification is consistent with requirements under AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows.

Statement of changes in equity

The statement of changes in equity presents reconciliations of non-owner and owner changes in equity from opening balance at the beginning of the reporting period to the closing balance at the end of the reporting period. It also shows separately changes due to amounts recognised in the ‘comprehensive result’ and amounts related to ‘transactions with owner in its capacity as owner’.

(F) Changes in accounting policiesSubsequent to the 2012-13 reporting period, the following new and revised standards have been adopted in the current period with their financial impact detailed below.

AASB 13 Fair value measurement

AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for all fair value measurements. AASB 13 does not change when a department is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under Australian Accounting Standards when fair value is required or permitted.

DTPLI has considered the specific requirements relating to highest and best use, valuation premise, and principal (or most advantageous) market. The methods, assumptions, processes and procedures for determining fair value were revisited and adjusted where applicable. In light of AASB 13, DTPLI has reviewed the fair value principles as well as its current valuation methodologies in assessing the fair value. No change in principles and methodologies were required.

However, AASB 13 has predominantly impacted the disclosures of DTPLI. It requires specific disclosures about fair value measurements and disclosures of fair values, some of which replace existing disclosure requirements in other standards, including AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

The disclosure requirements of AASB 13 apply prospectively and need not be applied in comparative information before first application. Consequently, the 2012-13 comparatives of these disclosures have not been provided, except for financial instruments, of which the fair value disclosures are required under AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures.



AASB 119 Employee benefits

In 2013-14, DTPLI has applied AASB 119 Employee benefits (Sept 2011, as amended) and the related consequential amendments for the first time.

The revised AASB 119 changes the accounting for defined benefit plans and termination benefits. The most significant change relates to the accounting for changes in defined benefit obligations and plan assets. As the current accounting policy is for the Department of Treasury and Finance to recognise and disclose the state’s defined benefit liabilities in its financial statements, changes in defined benefit obligations and plan assets will have limited impact on DTPLI.

The revised standard also changes the definition of short-term employee benefits. These were previously benefits that were expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the reporting period in which the employees render the related service, however, short-term employee benefits are now defined as benefits expected to be wholly settled within 12 months after the end of the reporting period in which the employees render the related service. As a result, accrued annual leave balances which were previously classified by DTPLI as short-term employee benefits no longer meet this definition and are now classified as long-term employee benefits. This has resulted in a change of measurement for the annual leave provision from an undiscounted to discounted basis.

DTPLI considers this change in classification has not materially altered its measurement of the annual leave provision.

(G) Income from transactionsIncome is recognised to the extent that it is deemed probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the income can be reliably measured at fair value.

Appropriation income

Appropriated income becomes controlled and is recognised by DTPLI when it is appropriated from the consolidated fund by the Victorian Parliament and applied to the purposes defined under the relevant appropriations Act. Additionally, DTPLI is permitted under section 29 of the Financial Management Act 1994 to have certain income annotated to the annual appropriation. The income which forms part of a section 29 agreement is recognised by DTPLI and the receipts paid into the Consolidated Fund as an administered item. At the point of income recognition, section 29 provides for an equivalent amount to be added to the annual appropriation. Examples of receipts which can form part of a section 29 agreement are Commonwealth specific purpose grants, municipal council special purpose grants, the proceeds from the sale of assets and income from the sale of products and services. The section 29 appropriation is shown in Note 4.

Where applicable, amounts disclosed as income are net of returns, allowances, duties and taxes. All amounts of income over which DTPLI does not have control are disclosed as administered income in the schedule of administered income and expenses (see Note 23). Income is recognised for each of DTPLI’s major activities as follows:

Output appropriations

Income from the outputs that DTPLI provides to government is recognised when those outputs have been delivered and the relevant minister has certified delivery of those outputs in accordance with specified performance criteria.

Special appropriations

Under section 213A(4) of the Transport (Compliance and Miscellaneous) Act 1983, income related to administrative costs associated with ticket infringements, and under section 201VC of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 income related to the Growth Areas Public Transport Fund (GAPTF) and the Building New Communities Fund (BNCF) are recognised when the amount that is appropriated for that purpose is due and payable by DTPLI.



Interest

Interest income includes interest received on bank term deposits and other investments. Interest income is recognised using the accrual method of accounting which brings to account the interest in the period in which it was earned.

Net realised and unrealised gains and losses on the revaluation of investments do not form part of income from transactions, but are reported either as part of income from other economic flows in the net result or as unrealised gains or losses taken directly to equity, forming part of the total change in net worth in the comprehensive result.

Sale of goods and services

Income from the supply of services

Income from the supply of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of services being performed. The income is recognised when:

• the amount of income, stage of completion and transaction costs incurred can be reliably measured, and

• it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to DTPLI.

DTPLI acknowledges the incidence of fare evasion impacting fare box revenue (reported in Note 5(A)), by individuals who have a legal obligation to DTPLI.

Income from sale of goods

Income from the sale of goods is recognised when:

• DTPLI no longer has any of the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods transferred to the buyer

• DTPLI no longer has continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the goods sold

• the amount of income, and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions, can be reliably measured, and

• it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to DTPLI.

Grants

Income from grants (other than contribution by owners) is recognised in the reporting period in which DTPLI gains control over the contribution.

Where such grants are payable into the consolidated fund, they are reported as administered income (refer to Note 1(D) and 1(J)). For reciprocal grants (i.e. equal value is given back by DTPLI to the provider), DTPLI is deemed to have assumed control when DTPLI has satisfied its performance obligations under the terms of the grant. For non-reciprocal grants, DTPLI is deemed to have assumed control when the grant is receivable or received. Conditional grants may be reciprocal or non reciprocal depending on the terms of the grant.

Commonwealth grants

Grants payable by the Commonwealth Government are recognised as income when DTPLI gains control over the contribution. Where such grants are payable into the Consolidated Fund, they are reported as administered income. For reciprocal grants, DTPLI is deemed to have assumed control when DTPLI has satisfied its performance obligations under the grants. For non-reciprocal grants, DTPLI is deemed to have assumed control when the grant is receivable or received. Conditional grants may be reciprocal or non-reciprocal depending on the terms of the grant. Commonwealth grants are disclosed as income in the schedule of Administered Notes (Note 23).

Fair value of assets and services received free of charge or for nominal consideration

Contributions of resources received free of charge or for nominal consideration are recognised at fair value when control is obtained over them, irrespective of whether these contributions are subject to restrictions or conditions over their use. Contributions in the form of services are only recognised when a fair value can be reliably determined and the services would have been purchased if not received as a donation.

Other income

Other income includes rental income and other miscellaneous items which are one-off items.



(H) Expenses from transactionsExpenses from transactions are recognised as they are incurred and reported in the financial year to which they relate.

Supplies and services

Supplies and services costs are recognised as an expense in the reporting period in which they are incurred. The carrying amounts of any inventories held for distribution are expensed when distributed.

Grants and other transfers

Grants and other transfers to third parties (other than distribution to owners) are recognised as an expense in the reporting period in which they are paid or payable. They include transactions such as grants, subsidies, other transfer payments made to state owned agencies, local government and community groups. Refer to glossary of terms and style conventions in Note 31 for an explanation of grants and other transfers.

Employee expenses

Refer to the section in Note 1(N) regarding employee benefits.

These expenses include all costs related to employment including wages and salaries, superannuation, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, leave entitlements and WorkCover premiums.

Superannuation

The amount shown in Note 6 (c) is the employer contributions for members of both defined benefit and defined contribution superannuation plans that are paid or payable during the reporting period.

The Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF) in their Annual Financial Statements, disclose on behalf of the state as the sponsoring employer, the net defined benefit cost related to the members of these plans as an administered liability. Refer to DTF’s Annual Financial Statements for more detailed disclosures in relation to these plans.

Depreciation and amortisation

All infrastructure assets, buildings, plant and equipment and other non-current physical assets (excluding items under operating leases and land) that have a finite useful life are depreciated. Depreciation is generally calculated on a straight-line basis, at rates that allocate the asset’s value, less any estimated residual value, over its estimated useful life. Refer to Note 1(M) for the depreciation policy for leasehold improvements.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period and adjustments made where appropriate.

The following are the estimated useful lives for the different asset classes for current and prior years:

Asset class Useful life

Buildings Up to 50 years

Infrastructure 20 – 49 years

Plant, equipment and vehicles 3 – 42 years

Leasehold improvements Up to 15 years

Leased vehicles 3 years (i)

Intangibles 4 – 10 years

Cultural assets at fair value 100 years

Note:

(i) Leased vehicles are depreciated on a straight-line basis to their residual value (cost less estimated projected market value) over the period of the lease (which is three years).

Land which is considered to have an indefinite life, is not depreciated because its service potential has not, in any material sense, been consumed during the reporting period.

Amortisation

Intangible produced assets with finite useful lives are depreciated as an expense from transactions on a straight line basis over the assets useful life. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not depreciated or amortised but tested annually.



Interest expense

Interest expense is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Refer to glossary of terms in Note 31 for an explanation of interest expense items.

Capital asset charge

The capital asset charge is calculated on the budgeted carrying amount of applicable non-financial physical assets.

Fair value of assets and services provided free of charge or for nominal consideration

Contributions of resources provided free of charge or for nominal consideration are recognised at their fair value when the transferee obtains control over them, irrespective of whether restrictions or conditions are imposed over the use of the contributions, unless received from another government department or agency as a consequence of a restructuring of administrative arrangements. In the latter case, such a transfer will be recognised at its carrying value.

Contributions in the form of services are only recognised when a fair value can be reliably determined and the services would have been sold if not donated.

Bad and doubtful debts

Refer to Note 1(I,L) Impairment of financial assets.

(I) Other economic flows included in the net result

Other economic flows measure the change in volume or value of assets or liabilities that do not result from transactions.

Net gain/(loss) on non-financial assets

Net gain/(loss) on non-financial assets and liabilities includes realised and unrealised gains and losses as follows:

• Revaluation gains/(losses) of non-financial physical assets

Refer to accounting policy provided in Note 1(M) – Revaluation of non-financial physical assets.

• Net gain/(loss) on disposal of non-financial assets

Any gain or loss on the disposal of non-financial assets is recognised at the date of disposal and is the difference between the proceeds and the carrying value of the asset at that time.

• Impairment of non-financial assets

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives including those that are not yet available for use, are tested annually for impairment (as described below) and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

All other assets are assessed annually for indications of impairment, except for assets arising from construction contracts and non-financial physical assets held for sale (refer Note 1(M)).

If there is an indication of impairment, the assets concerned are tested as to whether their carrying value exceeds their recoverable amount. Where an asset’s carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount, the difference is written off as an other economic flow, except to the extent that the write down can be debited to an asset revaluation surplus amount applicable to that class of asset.

If there is indication that there has been a reversal in the estimate of an asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised, the carrying amount shall be increased to its recoverable amount. This impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognised in prior years.

It is deemed that, in the event of the loss or destruction of an asset, the future economic benefits arising from the use of the asset will be replaced unless a specific decision to the contrary has been made. The recoverable amount for most assets is measured at the higher of depreciated replacement cost and fair value less costs to sell. Recoverable amount for assets held primarily to generate net cash inflows is measured at the higher of the present value of future cash flows expected to be obtained from the asset and fair value less costs to sell.

Refer to Note 1(M) in relation to the recognition and measurement of non-financial assets.



Other gains/(losses) from other economic flows

Other gains/(losses) from other economic flows which include the gains or losses from:

• transfer of amounts from the reserves and/or accumulated surplus to net result due to disposal or derecognition or reclassification

• the revaluation of the present value of the long service leave liability due to changes in the bond interest rates.

Net gain/(loss) on financial instruments

Net gain/(loss) on financial instruments includes:

• realised and unrealised gains and losses from revaluations of financial instruments at fair value

• impairment and reversal of impairment for financial instruments at amortised cost (refer to Note 1(K))

• disposals of financial assets and derecognition of financial liabilities.

Revaluations of financial instruments at fair value

Refer to Note 1(K) Financial instruments.

(J) Administered income

Fines and regulatory fees

DTPLI collects fines and fees on behalf of the Crown and does not gain control over the assets arising from these items. Consequently no income is recognised in DTPLI’s financial statements but disclosed as income in the schedule of administered items (refer Note 23).

Grants from Commonwealth Government and other jurisdictions

DTPLI’s administered grants mainly comprise funds provided by the Commonwealth to assist the State Government in meeting general or specific delivery obligations, primarily for the purpose of aiding in the financing of the operations of the recipient, capital purposes and/or for on-passing to other recipients. DTPLI also receives grants for on-passing from other jurisdictions. DTPLI does not have control over these grants and income is not recognised in DTPLI’s financial statements. Administered grants are disclosed in the schedule of administered items in Note 23.

(K) Financial instrumentsFinancial instruments arise out of contractual agreements that give rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Due to the nature of DTPLI’s activities, certain financial assets and financial liabilities arise under statute rather than a contract. Such financial assets and financial liabilities do not meet the definition of financial instruments in AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation. For example, statutory receivables arising from fines and penalties do not meet the definition of financial instruments as they do not arise under contract.

Where relevant, for note disclosure purposes, a distinction is made between those financial assets and financial liabilities that meet the definition of financial instruments in accordance with AASB 132 and those that do not.

The following refers to financial instruments unless otherwise stated.

Categories of non-derivative financial instruments

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial instrument assets with fixed and determinable payments that are not quoted on an active market. These assets are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial measurement, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Loans and receivables category includes cash and deposits (refer to Note 1(I,L)), trade receivables, loans and other receivables, but not statutory receivables.

Available-for-sale financial instrument assets

Available-for-sale financial instrument assets are those designated as available-for-sale or not classified in any other category of financial instrument asset.

Such assets are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value, recognised in ‘Other economic flows – other comprehensive income’ until the investments are disposed.



Movements resulting from impairment and foreign currency changes are recognised in the net result as other economic flows. On disposal, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in ‘Other economic flows – other comprehensive income’ is transferred to other economic flows in the net result.

Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 20 Financial instruments.

Available-for-sale category includes certain equity investments and those debt securities that are designated as available-for-sale.

Held-to-maturity financial assets

If DTPLI has the positive intent and ability to hold nominated investments to maturity, then such financial assets may be classified as held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition held-to-maturity financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

DTPLI makes limited use of this classification because any sale or reclassification of more than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity investments not close to their maturity, would result in the whole category being reclassified as available-for-sale. DTPLI would also be prevented from classifying investment securities as held-to-maturity for the current and the following two financial years.

The held-to-maturity category includes certain term deposits for which DTPLI intends to hold to maturity.

Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss

Financial instrument assets are designated at fair value through profit or loss at trade date if they are classified as held for trading or designated as such upon initial recognition. This is on the basis that the financial assets form part of a group that are managed by DTPLI, and have their performance evaluated in accordance with documented risk management and investment strategies.

Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are initially measured at fair value and attributable transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Subsequently, any changes in fair value are recognised in the net result as other economic flows. Any dividend or interest on a financial asset is recognised in the net result from transactions.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost

Financial instrument liabilities are initially recognised on the date they are originated. They are initially measured at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial instruments are measured at amortised cost with any difference between the initial recognised amount and the redemption value being recognised in profit and loss over the period of the interest-bearing liability, using the effective interest rate method.

Financial instrument liabilities measured at amortised cost include DTPLI’s leased motor vehicles.

Reclassification of financial instruments

Financial instrument assets that meet the definition of loans and receivables may be reclassified out of the fair value through profit and loss category into the loans and receivables category, where they would have met the definition of loans and receivables had they not been required to be classified as fair value through profit and loss. In these cases, the financial instrument assets may be reclassified out of the fair value through profit and loss category, if there is the intention and ability to hold them for the foreseeable future or until maturity.

Available-for-sale financial instrument assets that meet the definition of loans and receivables may be reclassified into the loans and receivables category if there is the intention and ability to hold them for the foreseeable future or until maturity.



(L) Financial assets

Cash and deposits

Cash and deposits recognised on the balance sheet comprise cash on hand and cash at bank, deposits at call and those highly liquid investments (with an original maturity of three months or less), which are held for the purpose of meeting short term cash commitments rather than for investment purposes and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of changes in value.

Receivables

Receivables consist of:

• contractual receivables, which includes mainly debtors in relation to goods and services and accrued investment income

• statutory receivables, which includes predominantly amounts owing from the Victorian Government and GST input tax credits recoverable. Receivables that are contractual are classified as financial instruments. Statutory receivables are not classified as financial instruments.

Contractual receivables are classified as financial instruments and categorised as loans and receivables (refer to Note 1 (K) for recognition and measurement). Statutory receivables, are recognised and measured similarly to contractual receivables (except for impairment), but are not classified as financial instruments because they do not arise from a contract.

Receivables are subject to impairment testing as described below. A provision for doubtful receivables is recognised when there is objective evidence that the debts may not be collected and bad debts are written off when identified.

For measurement principles of receivables, refer to Note 1 (K)

Impairment of financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, DTPLI assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. Objective evidence includes financial difficulties of the debtor, default payments, debts which are more than 60 days overdue, and changes in debtor credit ratings.

Bad and doubtful debts for financial assets are assessed on a regular basis. Those bad debts considered as written off by mutual consent are classified as a transaction expense. Bad debts not written off by mutual consent and the allowance for doubtful receivables are classified as ‘other economic flows’ in the net result.

In assessing impairment of statutory (non-contractual) financial assets which are not financial instruments, DTPLI applies professional judgement in assessing materiality and using estimates, averages and computational shortcuts in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets.

Investments accounted for using the equity method

Associates are those entities over which DTPLI exercises significant influence, but not control.

Investments in associates are accounted for in the financial statements using the equity method. Under this method, DTPLI’s share of the post acquisition profits or losses of associates is recognised in the net result as other economic flows (refer to Note 7). The share of post acquisition movements in revaluation surpluses and any other reserves is recognised in both the comprehensive operating statement and the statement of changes in equity. The cumulative post acquisition movements are adjusted against the cost of the investment.



Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:

• the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or

• DTPLI retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass through’ arrangement; or

• DTPLI has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either:

(a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or

(b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Where DTPLI has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards or transferred control, the asset is recognised to the extent of DTPLI’s continuing involvement in the asset.

(M) Non-financial assets

Property, plant and equipment

All non-financial physical assets are measured initially at cost and subsequently revalued at fair value less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Where an asset is acquired for no or nominal cost, the cost is its fair value at the date of acquisition. Assets transferred as part of a machinery-of-government changes are transferred at their carrying amount. More details about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of non-financial physical assets are discussed in Note 10 Property, plant and equipment.

The initial cost for non financial physical assets under a finance lease (refer to Note 1(O)) is measured at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease.

Non-financial physical assets such as Crown land and cultural assets are measured at fair value with regard to the property’s highest and best use after due consideration is made for any legal or physical restrictions imposed on the asset, public announcements or commitments made in relation to the intended use of the asset. Theoretical opportunities that may be available in relation to the asset are not taken into account until it is virtually certain that the restrictions will no longer apply. Therefore, unless otherwise disclosed, the current use of these non-financial physical assets will be their highest and best use.

The fair value of cultural assets and other non-financial physical assets (including infrastructure assets) that DTPLI intends to preserve because of their unique historical, cultural or environmental attributes, is measured at the replacement cost of the asset less, where applicable, accumulated depreciation (calculated on the basis of such cost to reflect the already consumed or expired future economic benefits of the asset) and any accumulated impairment. These policies and any legislative limitations and restrictions imposed on their use and/or disposal may impact their fair value.

The fair value of infrastructure systems and plant, equipment and vehicles, is normally determined by reference to the asset’s depreciated replacement cost.

The cost of constructed non-financial physical assets includes the cost of all materials used in construction, direct labour on the project, and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overheads.

For the accounting policy on impairment of non-financial physical assets, refer to impairment of non-financial assets under Note 1(I,L) Impairment of non-financial assets.

Leasehold improvements

The costs of leasehold improvements are capitalised as assets and depreciated over the shorter of the remaining terms of the leases or the estimated useful life of the improvements.



Revaluations of non-financial physical assets

Non-financial physical assets are measured at fair value on a cyclical basis, in accordance with the Financial Reporting Directions (FRDs) issued by the Minister for Finance. A full revaluation normally occurs every five years, based upon the asset’s government purpose classification but may occur more frequently if fair value assessments indicate material changes in values. Independent valuers are generally used to conduct these scheduled revaluations. Certain infrastructure assets are revalued using specialised advisors. Any interim revaluations are determined in accordance with the requirements of the FRDs. Revaluation increases or decreases arise from differences between an asset’s carrying value and fair value.

Net revaluation increases (where the carrying amount of a class of assets is increased as a result of a revaluation) are recognised in ‘Other economic flows – other comprehensive income’, and accumulated in equity under the asset revaluation surplus. However, the net revaluation increase is recognised in the net result to the extent that it reverses a net revaluation decrease in respect of the same class of property, plant and equipment previously recognised as an expense (other economic flows) in the net result.

Net revaluation decreases are recognised in ‘Other economic flows – other comprehensive income’ to the extent that a credit balance exists in the asset revaluation surplus in respect of the same class of property, plant and equipment. Otherwise, the net revaluation decreases are recognised immediately as other economic flows in the net result. The net revaluation decrease recognised in ‘Other economic flows – other comprehensive income’ reduces the amount accumulated in equity under the asset revaluation surplus.

Revaluation increases and decreases relating to individual assets in a class of property, plant and equipment, are offset against one another in that class but are not offset in respect of assets in different classes. The asset revaluation surplus is not transferred to accumulated funds on derecognition of the relevant asset.

Other non-financial assets

Prepayments

Other non-financial assets include prepayments which represent payments in advance of receipt of goods or services or that part of expenditure made in one accounting period covering a term extending beyond that period.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. Subsequently, intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Costs incurred subsequent to initial acquisition are capitalised when it is expected that additional future economic benefits will flow to DTPLI.

When the recognition criteria in AASB 138 Intangible Assets are met, internally generated intangible assets are recognised and measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment.

Refer to Note 1(H) Depreciation and Amortisation and Note 1(I,L) Impairment of non-financial assets.

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

An internally generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following are demonstrated:

(a) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale

(b) an intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it

(c) the ability to use or sell the intangible asset

(d) the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits

(e) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset, and

(f) the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.



(N) Liabilities

Payables

Payables consist of:

• contractual payables such as accounts payable and unearned income including deferred income from concession arrangements. Accounts payable represents liabilities for goods and services provided to DTPLI prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when DTPLI becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of those goods and services

• statutory payables, such as goods and services tax (GST) and fringe benefits tax (FBT) payables.

Contractual payables are classified as financial instruments and categorised as financial liabilities at amortised cost (refer to Note 1(K)). Statutory payables are recognised and measured similarly to contractual payables, but are not classified as financial instruments and not included in the category of financial liabilities at amortised cost, because they do not arise from a contract.

Borrowings

Borrowings are initially measured at fair value, being the cost of the interest bearing liabilities, net of transaction costs.

Subsequent to initial recognition, borrowings are measured at amortised cost with any difference between the initial recognised amount and the redemption borrowing being recognised in the net result over the period of the borrowing using the effective interest method.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when DTPLI has a present obligation, the future sacrifice of economic benefits is probable and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably.

The amount recognised as provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cashflows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cashflows, using a discount rate that reflects the time value of money and risks specific to the provision.

When some or all economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be received from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that recovery will be received and the amount of receivable can be measured reliably.

Employee benefits

Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave for services rendered to the reporting date.

(i) Wages and salaries and annual leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including annual leave, are recognised in the provision for employee benefits as ‘current liabilities’, as DTPLI does not have an unconditional right to defer settlements of these liabilities.

Depending on the expectation of the timing of settlement, liabilities for wages and salaries, and annual leave are measured at:

• undiscounted value if DTPLI expects to wholly settle within 12 months; or

• present value if DTPLI does not expect to wholly settle within 12 months.

(ii) Long service leave

Liability for long service leave (LSL) is recognised in the provision for employee benefits.

Unconditional LSL is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements as a current liability even where DTPLI does not expect to wholly settle the liability within 12 months because it will not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the entitlement should an employee take leave within 12 months.



The components of the current LSL liability are measured at:

• undiscounted value – if DTPLI expects to wholly settle within 12 months

• present value – if DTPLI does not expect to wholly settle within 12 months.

Conditional LSL is disclosed as a non-current liability. There is an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the entitlement until the employee has completed the requisite years of service.

Non-current LSL liability is measured at present value using the official published discount rate by DTF. Any gain or loss following revaluation of the present value of non-current LSL liability is recognised as a transaction, except to the extent that a gain or loss arises due to changes in bond interest rates for which it is then recognised as an other economic flow (refer to Note 1(I,L)).

(iii) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an employee decides to accept an offer of benefits in exchange for the termination of employment. DTPLI recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value.

On-costs

Provisions for on-costs such as payroll tax, workers compensation and superannuation are recognised separately from the provision for employee benefits.

(O) LeasesA lease is a right to use an asset for an agreed period of time in exchange for payment.

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. Leases of property, plant and equipment are classified as finance infrastructure leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership from the lessor to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Finance leases

Department as lessee

At the commencement of the lease term, finance leases are initially recognised as assets and liabilities at amounts equal to the fair value of the lease property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payment, each determined at the inception of the lease. The lease asset is accounted for as a non-financial physical asset. If there is certainty that DTPLI will obtain ownership of the lease asset by the end of the lease term, the asset shall be depreciated over the useful life of the asset. If there is no reasonable certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset shall be fully depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.

Minimum finance lease payments are apportioned between reduction of the outstanding lease liability and periodic finance expense which is calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease and charged directly to the comprehensive operating statement. Contingent rentals associated with finance leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Operating leases

Department as lessee

Operating lease payments, including any contingent rentals, are recognised as an expense in the comprehensive operating statement on a straight line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the benefits derived from the use of the leased asset. The leased asset is not recognised in the balance sheet.

Note: DTPLI is not a lessor of any assets.



(P) Equity

Contributions by owners

Additions to net assets which have been designated as contributions by owners are recognised as contributed capital. Other transfers that are in the nature of contributions or distributions have also been designated as contributions by owners.

Transfers of net assets arising from administrative restructurings are treated as distributions to, or contributions by owners.

Transfers of net liabilities arising from administrative restructurings are treated as distributions to owners.

(Q) CommitmentsCommitments are disclosed at their nominal value and inclusive of the goods and services tax (GST) payable. In addition, where it is considered appropriate and provides additional relevant information to users, the net present values of significant individual projects are stated.

(R) Contingent assets and contingent liabilities

Contingent assets and contingent liabilities are not recognised in the balance sheet, but are disclosed by way of a note (refer to Note 19) and, if quantifiable, are measured at nominal value. Contingent assets and liabilities are presented inclusive of GST receivable or payable respectively.

(S) Accounting for the goods and services tax (GST)

Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, except where GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case, the GST payable is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is included with other receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from or payable to the ATO are presented as operating cash flow on a net basis.

Commitments, contingent assets and liabilities are also stated inclusive of GST.

(T) Events after the reporting periodAssets, liabilities, income or expenses arise from past transactions or other past events. Where the transactions result from an agreement between DTPLI and other parties, the transactions are only recognised when the agreement is irrevocable at, or before the end of the reporting period. Adjustments are made to amounts recognised in the financial statements for events which occur after the reporting period and before the date the financial statements are authorised for issue, where those events provide information about conditions which existed in the reporting period.

Note disclosure is made about events between the end of the reporting period and the date the financial statements are authorised for issue where the events relate to conditions which arose after the end of the reporting period and which may have a material impact on the results of subsequent reporting periods.

(U) New accounting standards and interpretations

Certain new AASs have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June 2014 reporting period. DTF assesses the impact of these new standards and advises DTPLI of their applicability and early adoption where applicable.

As at 30 June 2014, the following standards and interpretations (applicable to departments) had been issued but were not mandatory for the financial year ended 30 June 2014. DTPLI has not early adopted these standards.



Standard/Interpretation Summary

Applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on

Impact on public sector entity financial statements

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

This standard simplifies requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets resulting from Phase 1 of the IASB’s project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement).

1 Jan 17 The preliminary assessment has identified that the financial impact of available for sale (AFS) assets will now be reported through other comprehensive income (OCI) and no longer recycled to the profit and loss.

While the preliminary assessment has not identified any material impact arising from AASB 9, it will continue to be monitored and assessed.

AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

This standard forms the basis for determining which entities should be consolidated into an entity’s financial statements. AASB 10 defines ‘control’ as requiring exposure or rights to variable returns and the ability to affect those returns through power over an investee, which may broaden the concept of control for public sector entities.

The AASB has issued an Australian Implementation Guidance for Not-for-Profit Entities – Control and Structured Entities that explains and illustrates how the principles in the Standard apply from the perspective of not-for-profit entities in the private and public sectors.

1 Jan 2014 (not-for-profit entities)

For the public sector, AASB 10 builds on the control guidance that existed in AASB 127 and Interpretation 112 and is not expected to change which entities need to be consolidated.

Ongoing work is being done to monitor and assess the impact of this standard.



Standard/Interpretation Summary

Applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on

Impact on public sector entity financial statements

AASB 11 Joint Arrangements

This standard deals with the concept of joint control, and sets out a new principles-based approach for determining the type of joint arrangement that exists and the corresponding accounting treatment.

The new categories of joint arrangements under AASB 11 are more aligned to the actual rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement.


Based on current assessment, entities already apply the equity method when accounting for joint ventures. It is anticipated that there would be no material impact. Ongoing work is being done to monitor and assess the impact of this standard.

AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

This standard requires disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on the financial statements. This standard replaces the disclosure requirements in AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements and AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures.


The new standard is likely to require additional disclosures and ongoing work is being done to determine the extent of additional disclosure required.

AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements

This revised standard prescribes the accounting and disclosure requirements for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates when an entity prepares separate financial statements.


Current assessment indicates that there is limited impact on Victorian Public Sector entities. Ongoing work is being done to monitor and assess the impact of this standard.

AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

This revised standard sets out the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures.


Current assessment indicates that there is limited impact on Victorian Public Sector entities. Ongoing work is being done to monitor and assess the impact of this standard.

Note 3. Restructuring of administrative arrangements and other asset transfers

(A) DTPLI machinery-of-government changesOn 9 April 2013, the Government announced a restructure of its activities and on 25 June 2013 issued Administrative Arrangements Order (No. 217) 2013 under the Administrative Arrangements Act 1983. The restructure resulted in a number of changes to DTPLI’s functions and outputs. The outputs received, effective from 1 July 2013, are summarised below.

Outputs received:

2012-13 Outputs Transferred from:

Planning, Building and Heritage Department of Planning and Community Development

Community Development Department of Planning and Community Development

Local Government Department of Planning and Community Development

Sport and Recreation Development Department of Planning and Community Development

Office of the Victorian Government Architect Department of Premier and Cabinet

Land Administration and Property Information Department of Environment and Primary Industries

Further, as part of the restructure, the Premier made two additional declarations under section 30 of the Public Administration Act 2004. The declarations transferred staff between affected departments on 3 June 2013 and 1 July 2013 respectively. For financial reporting purposes the additional declarations also take effect from 1 July 2013 in line with Administrative Arrangements Order (No. 217) 2013.

DTPLI has made changes to its output structure for 2013-14, which resulted in changes to the 2012-13 outputs received, as shown in the table below:

Notes:

(i) DTPLI acknowledges the incidence of fare evasion, impacting fare box revenue.

(ii) The lower 2013-14 revenue reflects the cessation of the Ticketing Guarantee Payment to the metropolitan rail operators on 1 January 2014, following full myki implementation. During the Ticketing Guarantee Payment period, all fare revenue was received by the State and paid to tram and rail operators. Since the cessation of the Ticketing Guarantee Payment, the metropolitan rail operators are now receiving 70 per cent of the fare revenue directly which will continue for the duration of the franchise contracts with these operators.

(iii) The 2012-13 comparative figures have been restated to correctly align external project works income of $3.413m to the appropriate disclosure line from Sale of transport services to External project works.

Note 9. Investments accounted for using the equity method

Associates accounted for using the equity methodDTPLI has an investment in an associate entity, Property Exchange Australia Limited (PEXA), formerly known as National E-Conveyancing Development Limited (NECDL) (name change occurred on 3 March 2014). PEXA was established in January 2010 to develop a single national electronic conveyancing system for settling property transactions.

PEXA was transferred to DTPLI as part of the machinery of government change that resulted in the transfer of functions of Land Victoria from the Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) on 1 July 2013.

The carrying value of the investment has been adjusted to reflect DTPLI’s share of the carrying value of PEXA’s net assets. The Victorian State Government’s ownership interest of PEXA at 30 June 2014 was 11.87 per cent (2013 14.2 per cent).

Non-specialised land, non-specialised buildings and cultural assetsNon-specialised land, non-specialised buildings are valued using the market approach. Under this valuation method, the assets are compared to recent comparable sales or sales of comparable assets which are considered to have nominal or no added improvement value. Artworks are valued using the depreciated replacement method where research of similar examples in existence in Australia was conducted and an estimated cost for replacement was established. Depreciation from this value was then attributed to the asset.

For non-specialised land and non-specialised buildings, an independent valuation was performed by the Valuer-General Victoria with respect to both the Transport and Public Safety and Environment Sector to determine the fair value using the market approach. Valuation of the assets was determined by analysing comparable sales and allowing for share, size, topography, location and other relevant factors specific to the asset being valued. From the sales analysed, an appropriate rate per square metre has been applied to the subject asset. The effective date of the valuations is 30 June 2010 for the Transport sector and 30 June 2012 for the Public Safety and Environment sector.

To the extent that non-specialised land, non-specialised buildings do not contain significant, unobservable adjustments, these assets are classified as Level 2 under the market approach.

Specialised land, specialised buildings and cultural assetsThe market approach is also used for specialised land, although is adjusted for the community service obligation (CSO) to reflect the specialised nature of the land being valued.

The CSO adjustment is a reflection of the valuer’s assessment of the impact of restrictions associated with an asset to the extent that is also equally applicable to market participants. This approach is in light of the highest and best use consideration required for fair value measurement, and takes into account the use of the asset that is physically possible, legally permissible, and financially feasible. As adjustments of CSO are considered as significant, unobservable inputs, specialised land would be classified as Level 3 assets.

For DTPLI’s majority of specialised buildings, the market approach is used, adjusting for the associated depreciation and allowance for the buildings restricted use. As depreciated replacement cost and restricted use adjustments are considered as significant, unobservable inputs in nature, specialised buildings are classified as Level 3 fair value measurements.

An independent valuation of DTPLI’s specialised land and specialised buildings was performed by the Valuer-General Victoria. The effective date of the valuations is 30 June 2010 for the transport sector and 30 June 2012 for the public safety and environment sector.

For cultural assets, valuations are determined by a comparison to similar examples of the asset in existence throughout Australia and research on prices paid for similar examples offered at auction or through art galleries in recent years. Cultural assets were revalued as at 30 June 2010 and 2012 by the Dominion Group who were engaged by the Valuer General Victoria.



Infrastructure Infrastructure is valued using the depreciated replacement cost method. This cost represents the replacement cost of the component after applying depreciation rates on a useful life basis. Replacement costs relate to costs to replace the current service capacity of the asset. Economic obsolescence has also been factored into the depreciated replacement cost calculation.

Where it has not been possible to examine hidden works such as structural frames and floors, the use of reasonable materials and methods of construction have been assumed bearing in mind the age and nature of the building. The estimated cost of reconstruction including structure services and finishes, also factors in any heritage classifications as applicable.

An independent valuation of DTPLI’s infrastructure was performed by the Valuer-General Victoria. The valuation was performed based on the depreciated replacement cost of the assets. The effective date of the valuation is 30 June 2010.

VehiclesVehicles are held at fair value. DTPLI acquires new vehicles and at times disposes of them before the end of their economic life. The process of acquisition, use and disposal in the market is managed by experienced fleet managers in DTPLI who set relevant depreciation rates during use to reflect the utilisation of the vehicles.

Plant and equipmentPlant and equipment is held at fair value. When plant and equipment is specialised in use, such that it is rarely sold other than as part of a going concern, fair value is determined using the depreciated replacement cost method.

There were no changes in valuation techniques throughout the period to 30 June 2014.

For all assets measured at fair value, the current use is considered the highest and best use.

Note 16. Superannuation

Employees of DTPLI are entitled to receive superannuation benefits and DTPLI contributes to both defined benefit and defined contribution plans. The defined benefit plans provide benefits based on years of service and final average salary.

DTPLI does not recognise any defined benefit liability in respect of the plans because the entity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay future benefits relating to its employees; its only obligation is to pay superannuation contributions as they fall due. The Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF) recognises and discloses the state’s defined benefit liabilities in its financial statements.

However, superannuation contributions paid or payable for the reporting period are included as part of employee benefits in the comprehensive operating statement of DTPLI.

The name, details and amounts expensed in relation to the major employee superannuation funds and contributions made by DTPLI are as follows:

Note 19. Contingent assets and liabilities

Contingent assetsContingent assets arise from guarantees, indemnities and other forms of support provided to DTPLI and from legal disputes and other claims by DTPLI arising from a past event. Contingent assets by definition are similar to an asset with the distinguishing feature being the uncertainty over DTPLI’s entitlement.

Reimbursement of legal costs

DTPLI has been awarded legal costs as a result of a favourable judgement relating to compensation claims for loss and damages. The value of these costs are currently in dispute.

Contingent liabilities Contingent liabilities arise from guarantees, indemnities and other forms of support provided by DTPLI and from legal disputes and other claims against DTPLI arising from a past event. Contingent liabilities by definition are similar to a liability with the distinguishing feature being the uncertainty over DTPLI’s obligation.

Unquantifiable contingent liabilities

Melbourne Park redevelopment

In 2010, the state entered into an agreement with Tennis Australia and the Melbourne and Olympic Park Trust for the Australian Open to remain at Melbourne Park until 2036. The agreement contains a number of conditions including that the government will invest in further improvements to Melbourne Park in three stages or (if an agreed investment threshold is reached), pay a rights fee to retain the Australian Open at Melbourne Park until 2036. The government announced Stage 1 of the Melbourne Park redevelopment with a total estimated investment of $363 million in the 2010-11 Budget. In January 2014 the government announced a further $338 million total estimated investment to Stage 2 of the redevelopment.

Compulsory property acquisition

The State has compulsorily acquired a number of properties (residential and commercial) through the Land Acquisition and Compensation Act 1986 to facilitate delivery of various transport projects. Possible future claims for compensation arising from the compulsory acquisition of these properties cannot be fully quantified at this stage.

(A) Financial risk management objectives and policies

DTPLI’s principal financial instruments comprise of:

• cash and term deposits

• receivables (excluding statutory receivables)

• payables (excluding statutory payables)

• borrowings

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, with respect to each class of financial asset and financial liability above are disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements.

The main purpose in holding financial instruments is to prudentially manage DTPLI’s financial risks within the government’s policy parameters.

DTPLI’s main financial risks include credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.

(B) Credit risk exposures

Credit risk arises from the contractual financial assets of DTPLI, which comprise cash and cash deposits and non-statutory receivables. DTPLI’s exposure to credit risk arises from the potential default of a counter party on their contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to DTPLI. Credit risk is measured at fair value and is monitored on a regular basis.

Credit risk associated with DTPLI’s contractual financial assets is minimal because the main debtor is the Victorian Government. Debtors other than government are immaterial.

Provision of impairment for contractual financial assets is recognised when there is objective evidence that DTPLI will not be able to collect a receivable. Objective evidence includes financial difficulties of the debtor, default payments, debts which are more than 60 days overdue, and changes in debtor credit ratings.

Except as otherwise detailed in the following table, the carrying amount of contractual financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances for losses, represents DTPLI’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained.

Contractual financial assets that are either past due or impaired

There are no material financial assets which are individually determined to be impaired. Currently DTPLI does not hold any collateral as security nor credit enhancements relating to any of its financial assets.

There are no financial assets that have had their terms renegotiated so as to prevent them from being past due or impaired, and they are stated at the carrying amounts as indicated. The following table discloses the ageing only of contractual financial assets that are past due but not impaired.

Note:

(i) The carrying amounts disclosed here exclude statutory amounts (e.g. amount owing from Victorian Government and GST input tax credits recoverable).



(C) Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that DTPLI would be unable to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due. DTPLI operates under the government fair payments policy of settling financial obligations within 30 days.

DTPLI’s maximum exposure to liquidity risk is the carrying amount of financial liabilities as disclosed in the balance sheet. DTPLI continuously manages its liquidity risk through monitoring future cash flows.

DTPLI’s exposure to liquidity risk is deemed insignificant based on prior periods’ data and current assessment of risk.

Note:

(i) The carrying amounts disclosed here exclude statutory amounts (e.g. amount owing from Victorian Government and GST input tax credits recoverable).



(D) Market riskDTPLI’s exposure to market risk is primarily through interest rate risk. DTPLI has no exposure to foreign currency risk. Objectives, policies and processes used to manage each of these risks are disclosed in the paragraphs below.

Interest rate risk

Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. DTPLI does not hold any interest bearing financial instruments that are measured at fair value, therefore has nil exposure to fair value interest rate risk.

Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

DTPLI has minimal exposure to cash flow interest rate risks through its cash and deposits, and term deposits that are at floating rates.

DTPLI manages this risk by mainly utilising fixed rate or non-interest bearing financial instruments with relatively even maturity profiles, with only insignificant amounts of financial instruments at floating rates. Management has concluded that cash at bank, as a financial asset, can be left at floating rates without necessarily exposing DTPLI to significant bad risk; management monitors movement in interest rates on a daily basis.

The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities that are exposed to interest rates are set out in the following table:

Sensitivity disclosure analysis

Taking into account past performance, future expectations and economic forecasts, DTPLI believes there are no material movements ‘reasonably possible’ over the next 12 months for a parallel shift of +2.0 per cent and -2.0 per cent in market interest rates from year-end rates.

The impact on net operating result and equity for each category of financial instrument held by DTPLI at year-end as presented to key management personnel, if the above movements were to occur, is immaterial for the 2013 and 2014 financial years.

(E) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities DTPLI considers that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximates their fair values.



Note 21. Cash flow information

(A) Reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents($ thousand)

Note 2014 2013

Cash at bank and on hand (1,113) (401)

Funds held in trust – cash 848,502 817,833

– short term deposit 32,069 50,000

Balance as per cash flow statement 879,458 867,432

The above figures are reconciled to cash at the end of the financial year as shown in the cash flow statement.

Due to the State of Victoria’s investment policy and government funding arrangements, DTPLI does not hold a large cash reserve in its bank accounts. Cash received by DTPLI from the generation of income is generally paid into the State’s bank account, known as the Public Account. Similarly, any departmental expenditure, including those in the form of cheques drawn by DTPLI for the payment of goods and services to its suppliers and creditors are funded by the Public Account. When cheques are presented on DTPLI’s bank accounts by its creditors, the Public Account remits to DTPLI, the amount to cover the cheques presented on DTPLI’s bank accounts.

The above funding arrangements often result in departments reporting a notional overdraft for cash at bank, which mainly represents unpresented cheques. As at 30 June 2014, cash at bank included $1.127 million (2013 – $0.447 million), of unpresented cheques.

(B) Non-cash financing and investing activitiesAcquisition of property, plant and equipment by means of finance leasesThe acquisitions relate to motor vehicle purchases under finance leases which are not reflected in the cash flow statement.

(D) Private provision of public infrastructure

Melbourne CityLink

VicRoads manages the statutory functions and powers of the State under the Melbourne City Link Act 1995. These functions and powers include the administration of the contractual arrangements, revenue and assets of the CityLink Project.

The State and CityLink Melbourne Limited (CML) amongst others, entered into the Melbourne City Link Concession Deed on 30 October 1995. Under the terms of the Concession Deed, CML is responsible for the construction, financing and operation of the City Link road network during the concession period that is currently expected to expire on 14 January 2034.

The Concession Deed requires CML to pay to the State specified concession fees at specified intervals during the concession period. In accordance with the Concession Deed, CML has exercised an option to meet its obligations to pay concession fees by way of issuing concession notes. These notes are non-interest bearing promissory notes payable by CML at the end of the concession period or earlier in the event of CML achieving certain financial profitability levels and cash flows.

The State, CML and Transurban Infrastructure Management Limited (TIML) entered into the M1 Corridor Deed of Assignment (Deed of Assignment) on 25 July 2006. Under the terms of the Deed of Assignment, all concession notes held by, and due to be issued to the State in accordance with the Concession Deed, have been assigned to TIML for a defined payment stream during CityLink’s concession period until a certain threshold rate and return on the project is achieved.

The concession notes and related revenues are not recognised as DTPLI’s revenue, assets and liabilities. Details of the concession notes and related revenues are disclosed in Note 23(C).

The value of concession notes due to be received by the State in accordance with the Concession Deed, has been disclosed at the present value of concession notes to be issued in future periods by CML. The present value of the concession notes has been calculated based on an interest rate implied in the estimated concession note redemption profile included in the Deed of Assignment. The present value of the concession notes is disclosed as deferred City Link revenue.

The Concession Deed provides for CML to lease certain land and road infrastructure from the State during the concession period. At the end of this period, the assets are to be returned together with the transfer of the City Link road to the State. There is, currently, no authoritative accounting guidance applicable to the recognition and measurement of the State’s right to receive the City Link road from CML at the end of the concession period. In the absence of such guidance, there has been no change to the existing policy and the right has not been recognised as an administrative asset in the financial statements.

EastLink

VicRoads manages the statutory functions and powers of the State under the EastLink Project Act 2004. These functions and powers include the management of agreements concerning the development, delivery and operation of the EastLink Project.

The State and ConnectEast Pty Ltd (ConnectEast), amongst others, entered into the EastLink Concession Deed on 14 October 2004. Under the terms of the Concession Deed, ConnectEast is responsible for the construction, financing and operation of the EastLink Project. ConnectEast has a right to operate the EastLink road network for the duration of the concession period which is due to expire on 30 November 2043.



The Concession Deed provides for ConnectEast to lease certain land from the State during the concession period. At the end of this period, the land is to be returned together with the transfer of the EastLink road network to the State. There is, currently, no authoritative accounting guidance applicable to the recognition and measurement of the State’s right to receive the EastLink road network from ConnectEast at the end of the service concession period. In the absence of such guidance, there has been no change to the existing policy and the right has not been recognised as an administrative asset in the financial statements.

(E) Administered contigencies

City Link contingent assets

CityLink compensable enhancement claims

The Melbourne City Link Concession Deed contains compensable enhancement provisions that enable the State to claim 50 per cent of additional revenue derived by CityLink Melbourne Limited (CML) as a result of certain events that particularly benefit CityLink, including changes to the adjoining road network.

Compensable enhancement claims have previously been lodged in respect of works for improving traffic flows on the West Gate Freeway (between Lorimer and Montague Streets), and in the vicinity of the intersection of the Bulla Road and the Tullamarine Freeway. The claims were lodged on 20 May 2005 and 29 September 2006 respectively, and are still outstanding.

Revenue sharing from the Monash City Link West Gate Upgrade

On 25 July 2006, CityLink Melbourne Limited (CML), Transurban Infrastructure Management Limited and the State entered into the M1 Corridor Redevelopment Deed.

Under the terms of this deed:

• The State upgraded the Monash and West Gate Freeways, while CML upgraded the Southern Link section of CityLink

• CML agreed that the State would be entitled to 50 per cent of the additional CityLink revenue generated by the Monash / CityLink / West Gate Upgrade, above the investment case for the project relating to works on Southern Link.

The method used to calculate additional CityLink revenue generated from the upgrade involved a comparison of actual CityLink toll revenue (up to and including the financial year ending 30 June 2014) with agreed trends that were set out in the M1 Corridor Redevelopment Deed.

Based on the actual CityLink toll revenue reported by CML up to and including the financial year ending 30 June 2014:

• the additional CityLink revenue generated from the upgrade has not exceeded the investment case for the project relating to works on the Southern Link section of CityLink

• as a result, the State is not entitled to any revenue sharing payment.

The State is undertaking further due diligence to confirm the accuracy of the CityLink toll revenue data provided on which the initial calculation of the additional CityLink revenue has been based.

Peninsula Link compensable enhancement claim

The EastLink Concession Deed contains compensable enhancement provisions that enable the State to claim 50 per cent of any additional revenue derived by ConnectEast Pty Ltd (ConnectEast) as a result of certain events that particularly benefit EastLink, including changes to the adjoining road network.

On 2 January 2014, the State lodged a compensable enhancement claim arising as a result of opening of Peninsula Link. The claim remains outstanding.

Note 30. Subsequent Events

Abolition of Public Transport FundSection 11 of the Transport (Compliance and Miscellaneous) Act 1983 established the Public Transport Fund (PTF) in which all monies and income relating to public transport agreements, leases and licences, including public transport fare box revenue and taxi licence revenue are held.

With the establishment of the Public Transport Development Authority i.e. Public Transport Victoria (PTV), and the Taxi Services Commission (TSC), the PTF is no longer required and is to be abolished.

It is expected that the abolition of the PTF and the subsequent transfer of funds will occur during the 2014-15 financial year.

Administrative officesDTPLI established the following two new administrative offices that came into effect on 1 July 2014:

• Moving Victoria Rail Office – to oversee the delivery of the Melbourne Rail Link

• Moving Victoria Roads Office – to oversee the delivery of the East West Link Western Section.

Further announcements, including the financial effect on the operations of the two offices will be made once they are finalised.

Cranbourne-Pakenhan Rail corridorThe State entered into a Commitment Deed during March 2014 for the $2-$2.5billion Cranbourne-Pakenham Rail Corridor project. The intention of the Deed is to develop, negotiate and finalise a binding offer for the evaluation and approval by the State in the second half of 2014. The project includes the acquisition of new trains, a new train maintenance depot, power upgrades, higher capacity signalling and grade separations.

Note 31. Glossary of termsActuarial gains or losses on superannuation defined benefit plans

Actuarial gains or losses are changes in the present value of the superannuation defined benefit liability resulting from:

(a) experience adjustments (the effects of differences between the previous actuarial assumptions and what has actually occurred); and

(b) the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions.

Amortisation

Amortisation is the expense which results from the consumption, extraction or use over time of a non-produced physical or intangible asset. This expense is included in expenses from transactions.

Associates

Associates are all entities over which an entity has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding and voting rights of between 20 per cent and 50 per cent.

Borrowings

Borrowings refers to interest bearing liabilities mainly from public borrowings raised through the Treasury Corporation of Victoria, finance leases and other interest bearing arrangements. Borrowings also include non-interest bearing advances from government that are acquired for policy purposes.

Comprehensive result

The net result of all items of income and expense recognised for the period. It is the aggregate of the operating result and other economic flows.

Capital asset charge

The capital asset charge represents the opportunity cost of capital invested in the non-current physical assets used in the provision of outputs which is paid to the Department of Treasury and Finance.

Commitments

Commitments include those operating, capital and other outsourcing commitments arising from non-cancellable contractual or statutory sources.


Current grants

Amounts payable or receivable for current purposes for which no economic benefits of equal value are receivable or payable in return.

Depreciation

Depreciation is an expense that arises from the consumption through wear or time of a produced physical asset. This expense is classified as a ‘transaction’ and so reduces the ‘net result from transaction’.

Employee expenses

Employee expenses include all costs related to employment including wages and salaries, leave entitlements, redundancy payments and superannuation contributions.

Ex gratia expenses

Ex gratia expenses mean the voluntary payment of money or other non-monetary benefit (e.g. a write off) that is not made either to acquire goods, services or other benefits for the entity or to meet a legal liability, or to settle or resolve a possible legal liability or claim against the entity.

Financial asset

A financial asset is any asset that is:

(a) cash

(b) an equity instrument of another entity

(c) a contractual right or statutory right:

• to receive cash or another financial asset from another entity; or

• to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially favourable to the entity; ora non-derivative for which the entity is or may be obliged to receive a variable number of the entity’s own equity instruments; or

• a derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments.

Financial instrument

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets or liabilities that are not contractual (such as statutory receivables or payables that arise as a result of statutory requirements imposed by governments) are not financial instruments.

Financial liability

A financial liability is any liability that is:

(a) A contractual or statutory obligation:

• to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; or

• to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the entity; or

(b) A contract that will or may be settled in the entity’s own equity instruments and is:

• a non-derivative for which the entity is or may be obliged to deliver a variable number of the entity’s own equity instruments; or

• a derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments. For this purpose the entity’s own equity instruments do not include instruments that are themselves contracts for the future receipt or delivery of the entity’s own equity instruments.

Financial statements

A complete set of financial statements comprises:

(a) a comprehensive operating statement for the period

(b) a balance sheet as at the end of the period

(c) a statement of changes in equity for the period

(d) a cash flow statement for the period

(e) notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information

(f) comprehensive information in respect of the preceding period as specified in paragraphs 38 of AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements

(g) a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period when an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively or makes a retrospective restatement of items in its financial statements, or when it reclassifies items in its financial statements in accordance with paragraphs 41 of AASB 101.

Note 31. Glossary of terms (continued)


Grants and other transfers

Transactions in which one unit provides goods, services, assets (or extinguishes a liability) or labour to another unit without receiving approximately equal value in return. Grants can either be operating or capital in nature.

While grants to governments may result in the provision of some goods or services to the transferor, they do not give the transferor a claim to receive directly benefits of approximately equal value. Receipt and sacrifice of approximately equal value may occur, but only by coincidence. For example, governments are not obliged to provide commensurate benefits in the form of goods or services to particular taxpayers in return for their taxes.

Grants can be paid as general purpose grants which refer to grants that are not subject to conditions regarding their use. Alternatively, they may be paid as specific purpose grants which are paid for a particular purpose and/or have conditions attached regarding their use.

General government sector

The general government sector comprises all government departments, offices and other bodies engaged in providing services free of charge or at a price significantly below their cost of production. General government services include those which are mainly non-market in nature, those which are largely for collective consumption by the community and those which involve the transfer or redistribution of income. These services are financed mainly through taxes, or other compulsory levies and user charges

Grants for on-passing

All grants paid to one institutional sector (e.g. a state general government) to be passed on to another institutional sector (e.g. local government or a private non-profit institution).

Intangible assets

Intangible assets represent identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance.

Interest expense

Costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Interest expenses include interest on short-term and long-term borrowings, amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings, interest component of finance lease repayments, and the increase in financial liabilities and non-employee provisions due to the unwinding of discounts to reflect the passage of time.

Interest income

Interest income includes unwinding over time of discounts on financial assets and interest received on bank term deposits and other investments.

Net result

Net result is a measure of financial performance of the operations for the period. It is the net result of items of income, gains and expenses (including losses) recognised for, the period, excluding those that are classified as ‘other economic flows – other comprehensive income’.

Net result from transactions/net operating balance

Net result from transactions or net operating balance is a key fiscal aggregate and is revenue from transactions minus expenses from transactions. It is a summary measure of the ongoing sustainability of operations. It excludes gains and losses resulting from changes in price levels and other changes in the volume of assets. It is the component of the change in net worth that is due to transactions and can be attributed directly to government policies.


Non-financial assets are all assets that are not ‘financial assets’.




Other economic flows included in net result are changes in the volume or value of an asset or liability that do not result from transactions. It includes:

• gains and losses from disposals; revaluations and impairments of non-financial physical and intangible assets

• fair value changes of financial instruments and agricultural assets

• depletion of natural assets (non-produced) by their use or removal.

Other economic flows – other comprehensive income

Other economic flows – other comprehensive income comprises items (including reclassification adjustments) that are not recognised in net result as required or permitted by other Australian Accounting Standards.

The components of other economic flows – other comprehensive income include:

• changes in physical asset revaluation surplus;

• share of net movement in revaluation surplus of associates and joint ventures; and

• gains and losses on remeasuring available-for-sale financial assets.

Payables

Includes short and long-term trade debt and accounts payable, grants, taxes and interest payable.

Receivables

Includes amounts owing from government through appropriation receivable, short and long term credit and accounts receivable, accrued investment income, gwrants, taxes and interest receivable.

Sales of goods and services

Refers to income from the direct provision of goods and services and includes fees and charges for services rendered, sales of goods and services, fees from regulatory services, work done as an agent for private enterprises. It also includes rental income under operating leases and on produced assets such as buildings and entertainment, but excludes rent income from the use of non-produced assets such as land. User charges include sale of goods and services income.

Supplies and services

Supplies and services generally represent cost of goods sold and the day-to-day running costs, including maintenance costs incurred in the normal operations of the department.

Transactions

Transactions are those economic flows that are considered to arise as a result of policy decisions, usually an interaction between two entities by mutual agreement. They also include flows within an entity such as depreciation where the owner is simultaneously acting as the owner of the depreciating asset and as the consumer of the service provided by the asset. Taxation is regarded as mutually agreed interactions between the government and taxpayers. Transactions can be in kind (eg assets provided/given free of charge or for nominal consideration) or where the final consideration is cash. In simple terms, transactions arise from the policy decisions of the government.



Budget portfolio outcomesThe budget portfolio outcomes provide comparisons between the actual financial statements of all general government sector entities within the transport, planning and local infrastructure portfolio and the forecast financial information published in Budget Paper No. 5 Statement of Finances 2013-14.

Indicator Current result

The vision for Victoria is reflected in the State Planning System

The Vision for Victoria (Plan Melbourne, Regional Growth Plans and Victoria the Freight State) have been prepared and released. The objectives and directions have been included in the State Planning Policy Framework, Victorian Planning Provisions and all planning schemes.

Level of satisfaction of key stakeholders with State Planning Strategies

More than 10,000 people were actively engaged in Plan Melbourne’s development. This included:

• participation of over 250 stakeholders from 100 organisations in roundtable discussions

• completion of newspaper or online surveys by 8,000 people

• participation of approximately 1,000 Melbournians in a major community forum

• 1,050 submissions.

Regional Growth Plans were developed in a direct partnership with each region. All 48 regional local government areas were involved. Approximately 350 individuals worked to represent their shires, cities and agencies on the technical and project steering committees. All regional councils endorsed the Regional Growth Plan relevant to their area.




Number and type of reforms implemented to increase the efficiency of Victoria’s planning, building and heritage system

Reforms have been implemented to increase the efficiency of Victoria’s planning, building and heritage systems. These include the introduction of:

• residential, commercial, industrial and rural planning zone reforms

• changes to streamline planning scheme amendment processes

• new Growth Area Infrastructure Contribution Works-in-Kind Guidelines to fast track roads and other state significant infrastructure in Melbourne’s newest suburbs

• the new Developers Contribution Framework to ensure roads, parks, sports and community facilities are delivered quickly in fast growing areas in Victoria

• implementation of reforms to improve the regulatory framework for domestic building works

• VicSmart to fast track the planning permit process in relation to low impact applications

• reduction of planning backlog through the Flying Squad program which assisted over 35 rural councils throughout Victoria with 73 projects totalling $1.29 million, completing over 239 permits and 82 amendments across the state

• development of new guidelines to support the effective management of government owned heritage assets.

Objective: Leadership, advocacy and advice on the quality of architecture and the built environmentProvide advocacy and strategic advice to government and key stakeholders to support high quality architectural and built environment outcomes, improve whole-of-government procurement processes and build on Victoria’s reputation for design excellence.


The quality of the built environment has significant cultural and public value contributing to an enriched sense of place for all Victorians

Design Review Services Undertook approximately 78 design reviews of significant government and private sector projects with an estimated total project value of more than $12.7 billion.

Advocacy Developed new standards for the amenity and design of apartments.

Objective: Deliver effective reform and government of local governmentDevelop and maintain systems that support a strong, transparent and accountable system of local government.


Proportion of local councils trialling the new performance framework actively participating in the trial

All Victorian Councils (100%) actively participated in the new Performance Framework trial during 2013-14.



Objective: Facilitate strategic investment in state and local infrastructureDevelop proposals for state and local infrastructure projects, including sporting facilities, to stimulate growth, boost competitiveness, support population growth and build on Victoria’s outstanding reputation for hosting major sporting events at worldclass facilities.

The 2013–14 result is 5.1% higher than the 2013–14 target. This increase is attributable to increased awareness of the taxi industry reforms, increased profile of the Commission and heightened expectations of improved taxi and hire vehicle services.

Taxi and hire vehicle inspections number 17 226 15 000

The variance is mostly due to a large number of inspections being conducted early in the financial year to support the introduction of new conformance monitoring and measurement software.

seconds 202 240

The VicRoads Contact Centre has made significant progress on improving the wait times for customer calls to be answered over the last two years. While customer surveys indicated a wait time tolerance of up to 5 minutes, VicRoads set itself a target of 4 minutes (240 seconds) and achieved an average speed of answer (ASA) of 202 seconds for 2013-14. VicRoads will focus on improving its response times across specific high demand queues during peak times in 2014-15 that often exceed the targeted ASA.

The 2013–14 result is 5 per cent higher than the 2013–14 target, despite an overall 30 per cent increase in demand. Following a restructure in January 2014, the Commission’s complaints management resources were lifted to full capacity and additional operational resources were dedicated for a short term to reducing an accumulated backlog of complaints requiring investigation and closure.

actual2013-14

target

Taxi and hire vehicle driver accreditation applications processed within 14 days per cent 80.8 85.0

The result for 2013-14 is lower than target due to temporary resourcing issues in the first six months of the year. An organisational restructure was implemented in January 2014 and the majority of vacancies were filled, hence performance lifted in the second six months the year.

Taxi and hire vehicle calls to the Taxi Services Commission call centre answered within 20 seconds

per cent 46.8 68.0

The level of incoming telephone calls answered within 20 seconds was lower than the 2013-14 target. The call centre has continued to manage a wider range of enquiries including accreditation and licensing matters and high numbers of calls relating to the release and implementation of many taxi and hire car reforms during the year. The centre also lost considerable accumulated expertise in call handling when long-term staff successfully applied for other positions in the Commission following implementation of a restructure.

Appendix 3: Audit Committee membership and roles

The DTPLI Audit Committee was established to assist the secretary in governance and oversight responsibilities. The Audit Committee provides independent, risk-based and objective assurance and recommendations to the secretary.

It is supported in this task by a secretariat and through an outsourced internal audit provider.

The appointment of an Audit Committee and the maintenance of an internal audit function is a requirement of DTPLI’s governance arrangements under the Financial Management Act 1994 and the Standing Directions of the Minister for Finance.

During 2013-14 the Committee met seven times. DTPLI Audit Committee Membership was:

Mark Peters Chair

Peter Moloney Independent member

Peter Doughty Independent member

Murray Jones Independent member

James Lavery (Resigned April 2014)

Executive Member

Consistent with the department’s Audit Charter, the roles and responsibilities of the Audit Committee include oversight of:

• financial performance and reporting

• internal auditor

• risk management processes

• compliance and control environment.


Appendix 4: Risk management

In July 2013, the Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure (DTPLI) was established from the former Department of Transport and the Department of Planning and Community Development.

During 2013-14, DTPLI focused on integrating governance, systems and processes from its predecessor departments so that the DTPLI’s risk exposures were managed. While many of these individual controls have been established during 2013-14, the overarching risk management framework that integrates all these controls was not finalised.

The department’s 2013-14 risk management attestation is supported by:

• A plan to finalise and implement DTPLI’s risk management framework that integrates risk management practices into planning and decision-making processes, and provides a plan for improving risk management practices in all DTPLI business groups.

• Regular review of the risk profile of the department by the executive leadership team.

• An internal audit program aligned with the department’s risk profile.

Attestation for compliance with the Australia / New Zealand Risk Management Standard

I, Dean Yates, certify that the Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure is progressively improving its risk management processes consistent with the Australian/New Zealand Risk Management Standard ISO 31000:2009 and that internal controls exist that enable the executive to understand, manage and satisfactorily control risk exposures. The Audit Committee verifies this assurance and that the risk profile of the department has been critically reviewed within the last 12 months.

Appendix 5: People

Our workforce

The DTPLI workforce was established in July 2013 and comprised the former Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure (renamed from Department of Transport), elements of the former Department of Planning and Community Development and Land Victoria from the Department of Environment and Primary Industries.

As a result, a series of significant workforce related projects were undertaken to establish the department on a firm foundation for the future. This included a review of all people related policies, redesign of performance management systems, migration of payroll to a single system and settling of corporate structures. A review and refreshed safety and wellbeing procedures and processes, leadership, learning and development practices and offerings were also undertaken.

The need to review and re-establish polices, systems and processes is reflected in many of the reports which follow.

At 30 June 2014:

• Our total workforce was 1,130, compared with 1250 at 1 July 2013, when DTPLI was set in its present form.

• The proportion of women in our workforce was 46.9%, compared with 49.8% at 1 July 2013.

• The average age of DTPLI ‘s workforce was 45.7 years, compared with 45.2 years at 1 July 2013.

Two matters impacted employment numbers: the secondment of a number of people to the Metropolitan Planning Authority, under changes to its functions; and, the completion of a voluntary departure program offered to staff of the Corporate, Finance and Planning functions following establishment of the department.


Wellbeing

The department’s Employee Assistance Program was strengthened to provide support to DTPLI people through times of change during 2013-14, and there was an increase in staff using the service.

DTPLI people were encouraged to maximise their physical and mental health and wellbeing in 2013-14. The Wellbeing Program focussed on health, nutrition, physical and mental wellbeing with a number of activities made available throughout the year. The activities included:

• online health assessments

• a range of topical wellbeing seminars

• wellbeing expo

• workhealth checks

• Influenza vaccinations for 756 people

• ergonomic workstation assessments

• Employee Assistance Program.

DTPLI recognises the important contribution that people in care relationships make to our community and the unique knowledge that carers hold of the person in their care. DTPLI supports the role of carers by providing a range of benefits and conditions which can provide the flexibility carers need to balance work and caring responsibilities:

• flexible working hours

• part-time employment

• paid carers leave

• purchased leave

• compassionate leave

• cultural and ceremonial leave

• leave at half pay

• unpaid leave

• working from home

• Wellbeing program

• appropriate workplace behaviours policy

• Employee Assistance program open to family members

• hosting the VPS Open Minds network, which, among its functions, provides support for carers supporting people with mental illness.

Diversity

DTPLI is committed to achieving a culture that is inclusive and embraces diversity and participation for all. In 2013-14, DTPLI started developing a DTPLI Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 2014-19 which includes a Disability Action Plan.

DTPLI revised and published its Reasonable Adjustment Policy, celebrated International Day of People with Disability and continued to participate in the Disability Inter-Departmental Committee, which has developed proposals for better pathways for graduates with a disability into the Victorian Public Service, improving the careers website and improving the state purchase contracts to be disability friendly.

DTPLI Aboriginal Inclusion Action Plan 2014-19 In 2013-14, DTPLI started developing its Aboriginal Inclusion Action Plan which will be launched by the end of 2014. The plan will respond to the directions in the Victorian Government’s Inclusion Framework and the Victorian Aboriginal Affairs Framework 2013-18 and sit alongside the Karreeta Yirramboi, the Victorian Government’s plan to improve public sector employment outcomes for Aboriginal Victorians.

Diversity reportingDTPLI details the actions it undertakes to address the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities and Aboriginal Victorians in specific annual whole-of-government reports. These reports encompass the activities of DTPLI and other Victorian Government departments. The reports are available on the following websites:

CALD communities www.multicultural.vic.gov.au

Aboriginal Victorians www.aboriginalaffairs.vic.gov.au

The timing and release of the reports differ, depending on when each report is collated by the respective government department.



Learning and development

DTPLI developed and delivered a suite of learning and development programs that were customised to the department’s needs and were based on capabilities identified in performance management planning for its people. Some 41 sessions were delivered across the year and included:

• working at DTPLI eg Professional obligations training

• individual effectiveness eg Customer service excellence training

• communication eg Writing for government courses

• strategy, innovation and influencing eg Navigating complex issues, Strategic thinking training

• systems training.

LeadershipOne of DTPLI’s strategic priorities is ensuring that it has great leadership, supported by exemplary management. Priority areas identified are:

• organisational leadership

• executive development

• VPS leadership development

• women in leadership

• management development.

Programs commenced in 2013-14 include the senior leadership seminar series and development of the women in leadership network.

Organisational climate and cultureDTPLI aims to develop a set of behaviours described as its CODE – Connect, Own, Deliver and Enjoy to underpin its success.

DTPLI has monitored key facets of its culture throughout 2013-14 and in April 2014 participated in the Victorian Public Sector Commission’s People Matter Survey. Analysis of the results was undertaken in consultation with the departmental leadership team, including identification of priority action areas.

Public administration values and employment principles

DTPLI is committed to meeting the Public Sector Values and Employment Principles set out in the Public Administration Act 2004. In developing its policies and procedures as a newly amalgamated department across 2013-14, DTPLI ensured the values and principles were reflected and communicated. DTPLI developed training in professional obligations for delivery in 2014-15.

Safety and wellbeingDTPLI focussed on the development of its safety management system and safety governance arrangements during 2013-14 to maximise compliance with legislation, prevent workplace injuries and illnesses and to provide for continuous improvement.

The safety management system is based on the national standard AS/AZ:4081 and includes:

• DTPLI’s designated work group framework was reviewed and re established

• health and safety representative elections and manager safety representatives nominations

• review and redevelopment of safety and wellbeing policies, procedures and processes

• continued development of DTPLI’s online Hazard and Incident Reporting and Management System.

DTPLI strengthened its consultative arrangements with the introduction of the Corporate Safety and Wellbeing, and Operations Safety and Wellbeing Consultative committees. These committees aim to encourage increased ‘safety conversations’, collaboration and the sharing of solutions.

Reported incidents 2013-14 and WorkCover performanceThe number of incidents reported reduced from 110 to 68 during 2013-14 and DTPLI achieved significant improvement in its WorkCover performance which included:

• 8 standard claims (15 in 2012-13)

• 4 lost time claims (14 in 2012-13)

• 1 claim with more than 13 weeks lost time (4 in 2012-13)

• 1 stress claim (4 in 2012-13)

• $5315 average cost per claim ($60,290 in 2012-13)

The improved WorkCover performance can be directly linked to DTPLI’s continued focus on early intervention assistance for people suffering from psychological or mental health issues. The program’s main aim is early identification, expert support and the implementation of temporary reasonable adjustments to minimise the personal and work impact of such health conditions. A total of 10 people were supported through the program in 2013-14.

Notes:

1. Standardised claims are those that have exceeded the employer excess (days or dollars) or are registered as a standard claim and are open with payments at the time of extraction. Fatality claims are also based on the same definition of standardised claims. Under threshold claims are excluded from this figure.

2. A time lost claim is one with one (1) or more days compensated by the Victorian WorkCover Authority (VWA) Insurer (that is: once the employer has paid the 10 day excess) at the time of extraction. Lost time claims are a sub set of standardised claims. Under threshold claims are excluded from this figure.

3. Thirteen week claims is a measure of the number of claims exceeding 13 week compensation based on a derived day count. The 13 week measure begins at day one (that’s: employer excess and VWA payments).

4. Data is provided by Xchanging (the departments authorised agent)

Appendix 6: Implementation of the Victorian Industry Participation Policy

The Victorian Industry Participation Policy Act 2003 requires departments and public bodies to report on the implementation of the Victorian Industry Participation Policy (VIPP). Departments and public bodies are required to apply VIPP in all procurement activities valued at $3 million or more in metropolitan Melbourne and for statewide projects, or $1 million or more for procurement activities in regional Victoria.

During 2013-14, the Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure commenced one VIPP applicable procurement with a total of 100 per cent estimated to be of local content to which a VIPP Plan was not required as the procurement activity was local by nature. The total value of this project was $5 million and was located in metropolitan Melbourne.

During 2013-14, the Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure did not complete any projects to which the VIPP applied.

During 2013-14, two grants subject to the VIPP were allocated in regional Victoria. No interaction reference numbers were undertaken with the Industry Capability Network. One project was delayed and the process will be undertaken in 2014-15.

Appendix 9: Freedom of information

Victoria’s Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) gives members of the public the right to apply for access to documents held by ministers, Victorian Government departments, local councils, public hospitals, statutory authorities and most semi-government agencies.

The FOI Act allows people to apply for access to all documents held by an agency. Documents include, but are not limited to, paper and electronic documents, maps, tapes and graphs.

The two main categories of information normally requested under the FOI Act include individuals asking for their personal documents and documents relating to the activities of government.

The FOI Act outlines general categories of information that are exempt.

A freedom of information (FOI) request must be specific enough to allow an agency to identify documents considered relevant to a request. Where the terms of a request are vague, assistance will be provided to applicants to help determine the type of documentation being sought.

During the financial year 2013-14, FOI requests were subject to a $25.70 application fee. The fee may be waived in cases where payment would cause an applicant financial hardship. Where an applicant seeks a waiver of the fee, the request should indicate the grounds on which a waiver is being sought (for example, low income, or holder of a Commonwealth Health Care Card). As of 1 July 2014, and in line with the Monetary Units Act 2004, the application fee increased to $26.50.

Under Section 22 of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 and the Freedom of Information (Access Charges) Regulations 2014, and in accordance with the Monetary Units Act 2004, access charges are applicable to FOI requests. The charges relate to search time and photocopying.

A summary of the charges are as follows:

Search fees 1.5 fee units ( $19.86) per hour or part thereof

Copying fees 20 cents per A4 size page for black and white photocopying

Other charges – including transcription and colour copying

Reasonable costs incurred by the agency

Appendix 10: Compliance with the Building Act 1993

Sport and Recreation Victoria (SRV) owns and/or controls five recreation camps across Victoria. The camps are operated on a long-term lease arrangement with the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA).

Each camp site comprises a number of buildings, as outlined below:

Site

No. of buildings

on site

Anglesea Recreation Camp 10

Camp Manyung 23

Howman’s Gap Alpine Centre 10

Lady Northcote Recreation Camp 18

Mount Evelyn Recreation Camp 5

All buildings conform to the building standards applicable at the time of their construction and/or subsequent significant renovation. Certificates of Final Inspection and Occupancy Permits have been issued for all major works undertaken during the year.

There were two works projects over $50,000 in 2013-14: construction of a universally designed challenge ropes course at Camp Manyung; and, road redevelopment at Mt Evelyn Recreation Camp.

The condition of the buildings is reviewed annually by an independent person and a report is prepared detailing any rectification and maintenance works that are required to maintain the buildings to the standard appropriate for their ongoing use.

During the year the department also completed an Annual Essential Safety Measures Report to comply with the Building Act 1993 (Building Regulations 2006) Regulations 1209 and 1215 for the camps.

Appendix 11: National Competition Policy

The department has continued to progress engagement in the national reform agenda, consistent with its responsibility to ensure the appropriate implementation and compliance with National Competition Policy. As outlined below, the department has worked to facilitate improved competition for industry, in particular by improving national regulatory harmonisation and removing cross-border regulatory difference.

National transport reformVictoria is supporting the national transport reform agenda of the Transport and Infrastructure Council (TIC), the Transport and Infrastructure Senior Officials’ Committee (TISOC) and the sub-committees of TISOC. Significant input has been provided for the development of national laws to regulate heavy vehicles and rail and marine safety. The three national transport regulators schemes have commenced in Victoria, with the National Rail Safety Regulator commencing operation in Victoria on 19 May 2014.

The Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure engaged through the TIC and TISOC processes in the development of a future national reform agenda under the auspices of the Council of Australian Governments.

Cross-border regulation and harmonisationAs well as pursuing national reform to reduce the regulatory compliance burden, DTPLI worked with groups of regional councils in the development of strategic transport planning strategies. This included for example, working with the Gippsland Local Government Network in the development and implementation of its Gippsland Freight Strategy which investigates options to harmonise road regulations between Victoria and New South Wales in the East Gippsland region.


DTPLI has also assisted the Central Murray group of councils in the development and implementation of its regional transport plan. This included working collaboratively with New South Wales and the constituent councils to provide technical input into a regional transport study and related initiatives addressing transport network efficiency in this region.

Taxi industry reformThe Victorian Government response to the Taxi Industry Inquiry (released 28 May 2013) committed the government to a program of reforms aimed at increasing competition, consumer choice and community benefits. On the instruction of the Minister for Public Transport, DTPLI led the development of:

• Transport Legislation Amendment (Foundation Taxi and Hire Car Reforms) Act 2013

• Transport Legislation Amendment (Further Taxi Reform and Other Matters) Act 2014.

These Acts:

• remove the regulatory restriction on licence numbers and enable issue of new licences “as a right” to approved applicants at prices set by legislation

• remove restrictions and red tape on pre-booked hire car services to enable a more diverse range of services to be provided

• enables taxis in metropolitan and urban zones to engage in price competition below the maximum fare rates determined by the Essential Services Commission

• enables taxis in regional and country zones to set their own prices and compete on service and price

• lower barriers to entry to supplying services in the industry by reducing the range of requirements that need to be satisfied before a person or company can be accredited as a taxi operator or network service provider

• removes the requirement for taxi operators to affiliate with network service providers.

These changes will facilitate increased supply of services and increased competition between service providers. These reforms came into effect on 30 June 2014.

Appendix 12: Compliance with Protected Disclosures Act 2012 (formerly the Whistleblowers Act 2001)

Further Information The Protected Disclosure Act 2012 commenced operation on 10 February 2013. The purpose of the Act is to encourage and facilitate disclosures of – improper conduct by public officers, public bodies and other persons; and to protect persons from detrimental action taken in reprisal for those disclosures.

DTPLI is committed to the aims and objectives of the Protected Disclosure Act 2012. It does not tolerate improper conduct by its employees, officers or members, nor the taking of reprisals against those who come forward to disclose such conduct.

The department recognises the value of transparency and accountability in its administrative and management practices, and supports the making of disclosures that reveal corrupt conduct, conduct involving a substantial mismanagement of public resources, or conduct involving a substantial risk to public health and safety or the environment.

The department will take all reasonable steps to protect the people who make such disclosures from any detrimental action in reprisal for making the disclosure. It will also afford natural justice to the person who is the subject of the disclosure to the extent it is legally possible.

Appendix 14: Growth area infrastructure contribution

The Planning and Environment (Growth Areas Infrastructure Contribution) Act 2010 which amended the Planning and Environment Act 1987 (the Act) came into effect on 1 July 2010. Information in relation to the Growth Areas Infrastructure Contribution (GAIC) may be located on the Metropolitan Planning Authority (MPA) website www.mpa.vic.gov.au.

There have been two additional legislative amendments to the Act relating to GAIC: the Planning and Environment Amendment (Growth Areas Infrastructure Contribution) Act 2011; and, the Planning and Environment Amendment (Schools) Act 2012.

The MPA is responsible under the Act to notify the State Revenue Office and the Registrar of Titles of the properties that fall within the GAIC Contribution Area.

The State Revenue Office retains a record of those properties that are liable for GAIC, and for determining and collecting any GAIC liability.

The Registrar of Titles is responsible for placing a GAIC notice on each affected property and will not allow any land dealings, in relation to those properties, without receipt of an appropriate GAIC certificate and notice, as issued by the State Revenue Office.

The MPA also investigates any planning and zoning anomalies that may be raised as they relate to GAIC, and in progressing stage payment enquiries and applications from landowners conducting subdivisions in Melbourne’s growth areas.

Under section 45 of the Financial Management Act 1994 and section 201VC of the Act, the MPA and the department are required to report annually on the operation of the GAIC.

The amount of GAIC triggered and received in the 2013–14 financial year is shown below. The amounts received by the State Revenue Office are paid into the Consolidated Fund in accordance with the Act and then paid equally into two GAIC funds, the Building New Communities Fund and the Growth Areas Public Transport Fund. These funds are held by, and financially reported on by, DTPLI.

Notes to Summary of GAIC transactions for the year ended 30 June 2013

1. GAIC receipts by the State Revenue Office include interest received and refunds made, and is paid into the Consolidated Fund as per section 201SZJ of the Planning and Environment (Growth Areas Infrastructure Contribution) Act 2010.

2. GAIC refunds may occur if a GAIC liability is taken not to have arisen. If GAIC has been paid, an application for a refund of the overpaid GAIC may be made under the Taxation Administration Act 1997.

3. Deferrals arise from purchase transactions whereby the liable party elects to defer all, or part of their GAIC liability until the next GAIC event. Should the liable party elect to defer part of the liability then a payment of the non-deferred portion of the total liability is due. The reported Total GAIC deferred for the year is the total amount elected to have been deferred during the financial year. Some of those amounts may have subsequently been paid, or have been converted into Staged Payment arrangements.

4. The Minister for Planning or the Chief Executive Officer of the MPA under delegated authority may approve staged payment arrangements.

5. Outstanding amounts in relation to approved staged payments arrangements are to be progressively reduced in accordance with the agreed payment arrangements.

** The cumulative contributions to each growth area as at 30 June 2014 reflect the actual payments excluding accruals



GAIC FundsReporting under section 201VC of the Act in relation to the two GAIC funds is set out below.

The amounts collected by the State Revenue Office are paid into the consolidated fund (in accordance with section 201SZJ of the Act). The amounts collected for the 2013–14 financial year are reported on page 189.

Periodically the GAIC revenue that has been collected and paid into the consolidated fund is transferred to the two GAIC Funds, net of any GAIC refunds made. The two funds are the Building New Communities Fund and the Growth Areas Public Transport Fund.

It will be noted that when the amounts received are split between the two funds and reported by growth area municipality, that the quantity available for allocation to each growth area from each fund is reasonably small.

GAIC work-in-kind agreementsA work-in-kind agreement is an agreement entered into by a person liable to pay the GAIC and the Minister, under which the liable person agrees to provide land and/or works (construction of State infrastructure) instead of a cash payment, to meet the GAIC liability in whole or in part. The GAIC works-in-kind legislative amendments were gazetted on 29 June 2011.

Appendix 15: Better Roads Victoria Trust account

The Victorian Government’s Better Roads Victoria Trust was established in 1993 under the Business Franchise (Protection Products) Act 1979.

The Act specifies that a State franchise levy on petrol and diesel fuel sales would be paid into the Better Roads Victoria Trust.

Following the abolition of this levy in August 1997, the Victorian Government has continued to make equivalent payments to the Trust, together with $17 per motor vehicle registration applicable from 1 July 2003 and subsequent indexation. In addition, from 1 July 2005, all receipts collected from traffic cameras and on-the-spot speeding fines are channelled into the Better Roads Victoria Trust.

Funds from the Better Roads Victoria Trust are used for the construction and maintenance of roads in accordance with the Road Management Act, road safety initiatives and traffic integration projects.

Appendix 16: Compliance with other legislation

As at 30 June 2014, DTPLI is required to make the following legislative disclosures in accordance with the portfolio legislation it administers.

Port Management Act 1995Port licence fee

The Port of Melbourne Corporation must pay a port licence fee every year. The amount changes every year based on a complicated calculation against the consumer price index.

Under section 44K of the Port Management Act 1995, the minister must cause a notice to be published in the Government Gazette specifying the amount of a port licence fee before 1 June each financial year.

Under section 44L(2), the minister must issue a fee notice to the Port of Melbourne Corporation on or before the first day of a financial year specifying the amount of the port licence fee payable in respect of that financial year and the amount payable for each quarterly instalment and the dates on which the payment is due.

Rail Safety National Law Application Act 2013Service level agreement

In order for the national rail safety law to apply in Victoria, a service level agreement signed by the Minister for Public Transport, the Director Transport Safety Victoria and the National Rail Safety Regulator must be in place. If there is no service level agreement in effect the rail safety national law does not apply in Victoria.

Under section 13(1)(a), the minister must publish a notice in the Government Gazette that a service level agreement is in place. Conversely, under section 13(1)(b), the minister must publish a notice in the Government Gazette if there is no service level agreement in place.

Transport (Compliance and Miscellaneous) Act 1983Essential Services Commission Report

Under section 190(5), the minister must cause a copy of a final report of an investigation by the Essential Services Commission in respect of licence fees for hire cars or special purpose vehicles, and taxi-cab fares or hiring rates, to be laid before the Parliament.

Heritage Act 1995Protocol for disclosure of interests

Part 4 of Schedule 1 of the Heritage Act 1995 deals with disclosure of interests in respect to matters considered by Heritage Council and committees established by the Heritage Council.

A member of the Heritage Council, the executive director (Heritage Victoria), a member of a Heritage Council committee, or member of an advisory committee established under s10 of the Act, must disclose direct or indirect pecuniary interest in respect to contracts or matters being considered by the Heritage Council.

A Protocol for Disclosure of Interests (approved by the Heritage Council in December 2006) has been developed to support application of this part of the Act.

Disclosures are recorded in the minutes of the meetings of the Heritage Council.


Appendix 17: Environmental reporting

DTPLI has successfully reduced its environmental impacts and associated financial costs through the introduction of staff behaviour change campaigns, championed by 50 volunteers across the department, and environmental infrastructure improvement programs. The initial focus has been on the department’s office-based activities and the program is independently audited by an environmental auditor biannually.

As this is the first reporting year for DTPLI comparative data has been provided under the former Department of Planning and Community Development (DPCD), Department of Transport (DOT) and Land Victoria where possible. Statutory bodies are included in all reporting where office space is shared with DTPLI.

Office-based environmental impacts

EnergyAchievements:

• A significant overall reduction in energy consumption brought about by consolidation of office space, infrastructure upgrades and staff behaviour change programs.

• An environmental behaviour change campaign was run at DTPLI during July and August 2013 with the objective of reducing energy consumption.
