OVERVIEW KEY POINTS x Capital outlays in 2004-05 are estimated to be $6.049 billion, the first time the capital works program has exceeded $6 billion. x The 2004-05 capital program represents an increase of 19% or $957.6 million, on estimated actual 2003-04 capital outlays. x Capital outlays will contribute to the net provision of some 49,070 full-time jobs in Queensland. x The three-year, $1.4 billion Smart State Building Fund will commence in 2004-05 to aid future growth and development across the State, particularly in the areas of health, education, roads and transport. x In 2004-05 there will be capital outlays of $1.905 billion for transport and main roads, $1.661 billion for energy, $452 million for education and training and $406 million for health. x The Government will continue its investment in the Busway network with an additional allocation of $200 million over four years. Additional funding of $19.8 million is provided as part of a new four-year $571 million Arterial Roads Infrastructure Package. x The capital outlays of Government-owned corporations constitute approximately 44% of total outlays in 2004-05, including the commencement of work on the $1.129 billion Kogan Creek power project and the $234 million Citytrain MetTrip Stage 1 initiative. x Capital outlays in 2004-05 reflect an ongoing commitment to regional and rural Queensland with 60% of capital expenditure occurring outside the Brisbane Statistical Division. INTRODUCTION This Capital Statement presents an overview of proposed capital outlays by the Queensland Government in 2004-05, as well as a summary of the State Government’s approach to infrastructure provision. Capital outlays in 2004-05 are estimated to be $6.049 billion, net of a capital contingency reserve of $200 million. This represents an increase of 19% on estimated actual outlays in 2003-04, and provides for the commencement of the three-year $1.4 billion Smart State Building Fund. The Government’s increased capital outlays in 2004-05, combined with the growth of private sector involvement in public infrastructure projects, reflects the Government’s commitment to broadening Queensland’s infrastructure base, in order to better meet the social and economic needs of Queensland’s growing population. Capital Statement 2004-05 1 The capital outlays of Queensland’s Government-owned corporations will constitute 44% of total outlays in 2004-05. Expenditure in 2004-05 is highest in the Brisbane Statistical Division – the most populated area of the State – at $2.473 billion. However, consistent with the Government’s commitment to building Queensland’s regions, 60% of capital expenditure is expected to occur outside the Brisbane Statistical Division. Capital outlays by purpose in 2004-05 are shown in Chart 1.1. Capital outlays by State Government entity are listed in Table 1.1. Table 1.2 outlines major sources of funding for the State capital program, while Table 1.3 details estimated capital outlays by entity in each of the State’s statistical divisions.

  • DNRM to Origin
    0ong m 17 August 2007 Ref: 01·02 Mining Legislation Review Mining and Petroleum Department of Mines and Energy PO Box 15216 CITY EAST Qld 4002 Dear Sir/Madam, RE: REVIEW OF QUEENSLAND MINING LEGISLATION- ORIGIN ENERGY SUBMISSION Origin Energy Limited (Origin) welcomes this opportunity to make early comment on the review of Queensland mining legislation, and in particular the M;neral Resources Act 1989 ) (MRA). We applaud the intention of the discussion paper to promote engagement with stakeholders to create discussion and elicit suggestions on both broader policy issues and specific aspects of the MRA. Origin looks forward to being involved in all stages of the discussion and the subsequent drafting of the legislation. As a major investor and operator in both the upstream coal seam gas (CSG) and conventional petroleum industries and the downstream industry in Queensland, Origin conducts activities which are impacted by issues administered under the MRA. In this light our interest relates to the potential for amendments which create precedents that are inconsistent with provisions administered under the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act 2004 (PGA), and the Petroleum Act 1923 (1923 Act), particularly in regard to issues dealing with stakeholders such as landholders, the use of water, underground coal gasification (UCG), and the provision and release of data. Origin opposes any amendments to the MRA which adversely impact on rights of existing petroleum tenement holders. Origin also notes that the tenur.e system introduced to the MRA in 2004 creates additional uncertainty during the exploration phase for petroleum tenement holders, particularly in regard to securing petroleum leases.
