Notes: 1: Due to the significant organisational changes during the reporting year, historical data for many of the indicators cannot be accurately established. It has been possible to compile historical data for some indicators for CMTEDD where Access Canberra data is excluded. Both years measures include ACT Insurance Authority as it cannot be readily separated. 2: The data in the 2014-15 column includes information for the whole 2014-15 period including for the Access Canberra sites. Measures do not include Winyu House. 3: The reduction in electricity consumption is largely attributed to the progressive (from June 2014) and final (December 2014) decommissioning of the Callam Data Centre, and the movement of a significant number of staff and ICT equipment out of the building (April/May 2015). There are also improvements associated with the replacement of lighting to LED within the Canberra Nara Centre, Macarthur House, and Exhibition Park in Canberra. 4: ACT Property Group purchased 7,700 MWh (Megawatt hours) of GreenPower on behalf of the ACT Government, representing an indicative 5 per cent of the ACT Government’s energy consumption for 2014‑15. 577,072 kilowatt hours represents 5 per cent of the total CMTEDD electricity usage. 5: The increase in gas consumption is attributed to two items being: a previously unmonitored and uncharged meter, which since June 2014 is now being measured and charged at 255 Canberra Avenue for Property Group; and an increase attributed to the reduction in heat generated by the data centre and ICT equipment at Callam Offices, with additional heating therefore required for the building for the remaining staff. 6: The reduction in water usage can be attributed to: the commissioning of a bore water irrigation system (complementing the rainwater harvesting project) and the finalisation of the shower head replacement program (some data is also not yet available) at Exhibition Park in Canberra; and water minimisation strategies employed by Sport and Recreation Services for their sportsgrounds. 7: Included within the total number of vehicles are four electric vehicles. These vehicles have no direct greenhouse gas emissions and use no fuel, however kilometres travelled of 34,064 have been included in the table. 8: Waste data has been collected from most CMTEDD locations and has been calculated on a basis of Total (L) = capacity of bins (L) x No. of bins x No. of times emptied over a year. Waste data from non-office locations such as sportgrounds has not been included as accurate and reliable data is not currently available. 9: The reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is attributed to two matters: the quantity reduction in electricity consumption, and the change in the greenhouse gas emissions factor (emissions produced per kilowatt hour) compared to the previous year. The greenhouse gas emissions factor has reduced because the Territory is now purchasing electricity with a higher proportion of renewable-sourced energy, and therefore the percentage of greenhouse gas emissions from the consumption of the electricity is reduced.

Greenhouse gas emissions for electricity consumption for 2014‑15 have been calculated using an emissions factor of 0.802 kilogram (kg) CO2-e / kilowatt hour (kWh) or 0.802 tonne (t) CO2‑ e/megawatt hour (MWh). In 2013-14 the emissions factor used was 1.06 kilogram (kg) CO2-e / kilowatt hour (kWh) or 1.06 tonne (t) CO2‑ e/megawatt hour (MWh). This lower emissions factor is specific to the ACT and reflects the contribution of renewable electricity generated under the ACT’s 90 per cent Renewable Energy Target.

C.3 Capital Works C.4 Asset Management

Assets Managed The directorate managed assets with a total value of $1,836.9 million, comprising $282.6 million of Loose-Fill Asbestos Insulation Eradication Scheme Land, $1,251.1 million of property, plant and equipment and $288.6 million of capital works in progress and $14.6 million of intangible assets as at 30 June 2015. Assets Managed by the directorate include:

Asset Type Value ($,000)

Loose-Fill Asbestos Insulation Eradication Scheme Land 282,617

Land 248,453

Land Improvements 181,693

Buildings 458,503

Leasehold Improvements 12,805

Plant and Equipment 64,468

Community and Heritage Assets 239,233

Infrastructure Assets 45,949

Capital Works in Progress 288,597

Intangible Assets 14,558

Total 1,836,876

Asset Additions During 2014-15, the number and value of the Directorate’s assets increased considerably, largely due to the transfer of assets into the Directorate following the Administrative Arrangements of 7 July 2014 and 15 December 2014, and the transfer of childcare centres from the Education and Training Directorate. The remaining additions are primarily from the purchase of asbestos contaminated properties under the Loose-Fill Asbestos Insulation Eradication Scheme for the purpose of remediation, and the progression of capital works in progress.

Asset Disposal The directorate transferred $4.4 million of vehicle finance leases to operating leases on 23 April 2015, reflecting changes to whole of government vehicle leasing arrangements with SG Fleet from that date. As a result of this change, the directorate no longer holds vehicle related assets.
