USER GUIDE
The purpose of the 2019–20 Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements (PAES), like that of the Portfolio Budget Statements (PB Statements), is to inform Senators and Members of Parliament of the proposed allocation of resources to Government outcomes by entities within the portfolio. The focus of the PAES differs from the PB Statements in one important aspect. While the PAES include an Entity Resource Statement to inform Parliament of the revised estimate of the total resources available to an entity, the focus of the PAES is on explaining the changes in resourcing by outcome(s) since the Budget. As such, the PAES provides information on new measures and their impact on the financial and/or non-financial planned performance of programs supporting those outcomes.
The PAES facilitate understanding of the proposed appropriations in Appropriation Bills (Nos. 3 and 4) and Appropriation (Parliamentary Departments) Bill (No. 2) 2019–20. In this sense, the PAES is declared by the Additional Estimates Appropriation Bills to be a ‘relevant document’ to the interpretation of the Bills according to section 15AB of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.
Whereas the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO) 2019–20 is a mid-year budget report which provides updated information to allow the assessment of the Government’s fiscal performance against its fiscal strategy, the PAES update the most recent budget appropriations for entities within the portfolio.

PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW
Ministers and portfolio responsibilities
On 6 February 2020, the Prime Minister, the Hon Scott Morrison MP, announced his new ministry including the following ministers for the Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications portfolio:
• The Hon Michael McCormack MP, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development
• The Hon David Littleproud MP, Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management
• The Hon Paul Fletcher MP, Minister for Communications, Cyber Safety and the Arts
• The Hon Alan Tudge MP, Minister for Population, Cities and Urban Infrastructure
• The Hon Mark Coulton MP, Minister for Regional Health, Regional Communications and Local Government
• The Hon Andrew Gee MP, Minister for Decentralisation and Regional Education
• The Hon Scott Buchholz MP, Assistant Minister for Road Safety and Freight Transport
• The Hon Kevin Hogan MP, Assistant Minister to the Deputy Prime Minister
• The Hon Nola Marino MP, Assistant Minister for Regional Development and Territories
On 5 December 2019, the Prime Minister announced the creation of the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications, consolidating functions of the former Department of Communications and the Arts and the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development. Consequently, this created a new portfolio.
Agencies under the former Communications and Arts Portfolio also transferred to the new portfolio. An outline of the portfolio’s entities and their outcomes can be found at Figure 1.
On 8 August 2019, through an amendment to the Administrative Arrangements Orders (AAO), the Infrastructure and Project Financing Agency (IPFA) transferred to the Treasury Portfolio and Old Parliament House (OPH) transferred to the Prime Minister and Cabinet Portfolio.
Airservices Australia (AA); the Australian Postal Corporation; the Australian Rail Track Corporation Limited (ARTC); Bundanon Trust; Creative Partnerships Australia; Moorebank Intermodal Company Limited (MIC); NBN Co Limited; and WSA Co Limited (WSA Co) are entities within the Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications portfolio. However, as these entities do not receive direct funding through the annual appropriation acts, they do not produce PB Statements or PAES.
Further details on the goals, operations and operating environments of the portfolio entities can be found in the entity specific sections of the 2019–20 Portfolio Budget Statements for either the former Communications and the Arts Portfolio or the Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development Portfolio.

Section 2: Revisions to entity outcomes and planned performance
2.1: CHANGES TO OUTCOME AND PROGRAM STRUCTURES
The outcome and program structures for the department have not changed from those published in the Infrastructure, Regional Development and Cities 2019–20 PB Statements and the Communications and the Arts 2019–20 PB Statements.
The Outcome Statements for communications and the arts functions have been renumbered under the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications:
(a) the former Department of Communications and the Arts Outcome 1 is now Outcome 5.
(b) the former Department of Communications and the Arts Outcome 2 is now Outcome 6.
Australian Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the Australian Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to Australian Government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further broken down by funding source.
Note:
Performance reporting requirements in the PB Statements are part of the enhanced Commonwealth performance framework established by the PGPA Act. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in PB Statements will be read with broader information provided in an entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual Reports – to provide an entity’s complete performance story.
The 2019–20 Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications Annual Report will acquit these documents performance information.
The most recent corporate plans for the department can be found at:
<www.infrastructure.gov.au/department/about/corporate–plan.aspx> and

3.2: BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.2.1: Analysis of budgeted financial statements
An analysis of the department’s financial position, as reflected in the budgeted departmental financial statements and administered schedules for 2019–20, is provided below.
Departmental
Budgeted departmental income statement
Total expenses are estimated to be $394.5 million in 2019–20, an increase of $29.8 million since the 2019–20 Budget, due to the impact of measures announced in the 2019 PEFO and the 2019–20 MYEFO and changes to the accounting treatment for leases following the implementation of Australian Accounting Standard Board (AASB) 16 Leases. The reduction in expenses over the forward estimates is primarily due to the profile of non–ongoing measures and expenses for the Business Grants Hub to administer various grant programs.
Chart 3.1: Total departmental expenses
Administered
Schedule of budgeted income and expenses administered on behalf of government
The department administers the collection of taxes, fees and fines, other non–taxation revenue and interest and dividends estimated at $1,145.6 million in 2019–20, representing an increase of $6.4 million from Budget. The increase can primarily be attributed to a one-off gain pertaining to the recognition of grant expenses for the Drought Communities Program; offset by changes in estimated dividends; and receipts from concessional loans.
Administered expenses are budgeted at $6,848.4 million in 2019–20, representing a decrease of $648.2 million from Budget and will be incurred for the administered items set out at Section 2. The reduction has been caused by movements of administered funds ($60.7 million), and other Government decisions approved since Budget ($866.6 million); offset by additional expenses for measures announced in the 2019 PEFO and the 2019–20 MYEFO ($279.1m).

The Administered statements reflect an amendment to the NBN Loan drawdown schedule and a change to the Regional Broadband Scheme (RBS). Funding for NBN Co Limited through the NBN Loan drawdown schedule was brought forward from 2020–21 into 2019–20. Consistent with the loan agreement for the term ending 30 June 2024, there is no increase to the overall loan facility. However, a modest increase is expected in interest revenue as a result of the accelerated loan drawdown schedule. In relation to the RBS, draft legislation anticipates commencement of the scheme on the first 1 July after passage of the legislation. As at 2019–20 Budget, the anticipated start date was 1 July 2019, with financial implications commencing in 2019–20. As at 2019–20 MYEFO, the anticipated start date of the RBS changed from 1 July 2019 to 1 July 2020, with financial implications commencing in 2020–21.

1.2: ENTITY RESOURCE STATEMENT
The Entity resource statement details the resourcing for AMSA at Additional Estimates. Table 1.1 shows the total resources from all sources for the 2019–20 Budget year, including variations through Appropriation Bills No. 3 and No. 4 and special appropriations.
Table 1.1: Entity resource statement – Additional estimates for 2019–20 as at Additional Estimates February 2020
Prepared on a resourcing (i.e. appropriations available) basis.
Please note: All figures shown above are GST exclusive - these may not match figures in the cash flow statement.
AMSA is not directly appropriated as it is a Corporate Commonwealth Entity. Appropriations are made to the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications, which are then paid to AMSA and are considered ‘departmental’ for all purposes.
Notes: (a) Appropriation Act (No. 1) 2019-20 and Appropriation Bill (No. 3) 2019-20. (b) Levies collected under Marine Navigation Levy Collection Act 1989, Marine Navigation (Regulatory
Function) Levy Collection Act 1991 and Protection of the Sea (Shipping Levy) Collection Act 1981 are paid to
the Consolidated Revenue Fund and appropriated under section 48 of the AMSA Act. (c) Funding provided by a government entity that is not specified within the annual appropriation bills as a
payment to the corporate Commonwealth entity.

1.5: BREAKDOWN OF ADDITIONAL ESTIMATES BY APPROPRIATION BILL
The following tables detail the additional estimates sought for AMSA through Appropriation Bills No. 3.
Table 1.4: Appropriation Bill (No. 3) 2019–20
Note:
(a) The 2018-19 available appropriation is included to allow a comparison of this year’s appropriation with what was made available for use in the previous year. Available appropriation is the amount available to be drawn down, and is equal to: Budget Appropriation + Additional Estimates Appropriation + AFM – s51 withholdings – administrative quarantines +/– Machinery of Government transfers.
(b) The 2019-20 Budget appropriation excludes amounts quarantined by the Finance Minister under s51 of the
PGPA Act and includes items from 2019-20 Budget and the 2019 PEFO economic statement. (c) The 2019-20 revised appropriation is made of Additional Estimates Appropriation + AFM – s51
withholdings – administrative quarantines +/– Machinery of Government transfers.

Section 2: Revisions to entity outcomes and planned performance
2.1: CHANGES TO OUTCOME AND PROGRAM STRUCTURES
The outcome and program structures for AMSA have not changed from that published in the 2019–20 PB Statements.
Australian Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the Australian Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to Australian Government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further broken down by funding source.
Note:
Performance reporting requirements in the PB Statements are part of the enhanced Commonwealth performance framework established by the PGPA Act. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in PB Statements will be read with broader information provided in an entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual Reports - to provide an entity’s complete performance story.
The most recent corporate plan for AMSA can be found at:
<https://www.amsa.gov.au/about/corporate-publications/corporate-plan-2019-20>.
The most recent annual performance statement can be found at:

AMSA’s budgeted financial statements over the budget and forward estimates have been adjusted to include the impact of AASB 16 lease accounting standards and opening balances reported in the 2018-19 audited financial statements. Reported surpluses have been revised downward to incorporate its effect.
In addition, the forward estimates have been adjusted to take into account the effect of indexation adjustments and efficiency dividend. AMSA has absorbed the impact within those affected activities.

Section 2: Revisions to entity outcomes and planned performance
2.1: CHANGES TO OUTCOME AND PROGRAM STRUCTURES
The outcome and program structures for CASA have not changed from that published in the 2019–20 PB Statements.
Australian Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the Australian Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to Australian Government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further broken down by funding source.
Note:
Performance reporting requirements in the PB Statements are part of the enhanced Commonwealth performance framework established by the PGPA Act. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in PB Statements will be read with broader information provided in an entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual Reports - to provide an entity’s complete performance story.
The most recent corporate plan for CASA can be found at:
<https://www.casa.gov.au/publications-and-resources/publication/corporate-plan-2019-2020>.
The most recent annual performance statement can be found at:

3.2.1: Analysis of budgeted financial statements
The 2019–20 budgeted operating loss of $3.4 million remains unchanged.
In addition, the forward estimates have been adjusted to take into account the effect of indexation adjustments and efficiency dividend. CASA has absorbed the increase within those affected activities and has maintained budgeted financial statements over the forward estimates in accordance with the 2019–20 PB Statements.
There are further changes to CASA’s budgeted financial statements to reflect updated opening balance actuals.

Section 2: Revisions to entity outcomes and planned performance
2.1: CHANGES TO OUTCOME AND PROGRAM STRUCTURES
The outcome and program structures for the NCA have not changed from that published in the 2019–20 PB Statements.
Australian Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by the Australian Government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programs are the primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programs which contribute to Australian Government outcomes over the Budget and forward years.
Each outcome is described below together with its related programs. The following provides detailed information on expenses for each outcome and program, further broken down by funding source.
Note:
Performance reporting requirements in the PB Statements are part of the enhanced Commonwealth performance framework established by the PGPA Act. It is anticipated that the performance criteria described in PB Statements will be read with broader information provided in an entity’s corporate plans and annual performance statements – included in Annual Reports - to provide an entity’s complete performance story.
The most recent corporate plan for the NCA can be found at:
<www.nca.gov.au/about-the-NCA/corporate-documents/corporate-plan-2019-2023>.
The most recent annual performance statement can be found at:

Departmental
Departmental comprehensive income statement
Revenue from Government over the budget and forward years has been adjusted to take account of indexation and efficiency dividends. Revenue from other sources principally reflects the recovery of costs for the provision of services and lease rental income.
The NCA is budgeting for a break-even operating result in 2019–20 and the forward years. Appropriation funding and own-sourced revenue in the current and forward years are relatively consistent.
Budgeted departmental balance sheet
The increase in the NCA’s departmental budgeted net asset position in 2019–20 and forward years is due to additional capital funding received in the 2017–18 budget for the Public Service Modernisation Fund - Agency Sustainability measure.
Administered
Schedule of budgeted income and expenses administered on behalf of Government
Revenue from administered activities primarily includes pay parking, lease revenue on diplomatic land and user charges which are returned in full to the Budget.
In 2019–20, the NCA received appropriation of $18.1m for supplier expenses including the operating expenses associated with maintaining the National Estate, the insurance premium for risks associated with assets on National Land, and operating expenses associated with the administration of the pay parking program.
Schedule of budgeted assets and liabilities administered on behalf of Government
In 2019–20, the NCA received appropriation of $18.4m for activities it administers on behalf of the Government. This appropriation is directly linked to the administered capital works and has been used to renew and upgrade existing administered assets.

Note: (a) From 2010–11, the Government introduced net cash appropriation arrangements where Appropriation Act
No. 1 or Bill No. 3 revenue appropriations for the depreciation/amortisation expenses of non-corporate Commonwealth entities (and select corporate Commonwealth entities) were replaced with a separate capital budget (the Departmental Capital Budget, or DCB) provided through Appropriation Act No. 1 or Bill No. 3 equity appropriations. For information regarding DCBs, please refer to Table 3.6 Departmental Capital Budget Statement.

Further annual appropriation Bills can be introduced during the year if required. These Bills are called the Additional Estimates Appropriation Bills (after MYEFO) or Supplementary Additional Estimates Appropriation Bills (at the same time as bills for the next budget).
Administered Item Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities that the executive government controls, but which an agency or authority manages on the government’s behalf.
Administrative Arrangements Order
The functions and activities of the government are administered in accordance with an administrative arrangement order (AAO) issued from time to time by the government and signed by the Governor-General. An AAO establishes the principal matters or government outcomes to be dealt with by each department of state, and the Acts of Parliament to be administered by each minister.
Annual Appropriation
Annual Appropriation Acts provide annual funding for government operations and programs; for investment in assets; or to reduce liabilities. Bills proposing appropriations for the forthcoming financial year are introduced into Parliament on budget night. The annual Appropriation Bills propose specified amounts of appropriation for expenditure by entities to carry out the government’s outcomes.
Appropriation An amount of public monies the Parliament authorises for spending (that is, funds to be withdrawn from the CRF). Not only does an appropriation authorise the Australian Government to withdraw monies, but it also restricts the expenditure to the particular purpose specified.
