NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure

Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure

1. Objectives of the Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure

The objectives of the Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure (the Department) in the 2004-05 financial year were: • Achieve a transport system that supports State development and leads to an improved quality of life for all South Australians, by implementing government priorities and in collaboration with other tiers of government, industry groups and the community. • Develop and provide policy advice and strategic transport plans including road safety, infrastructure and industry development plans. • Provide improved passenger transport to meet the social inclusion, environmental, efficiency and safety objectives of the Government by improving mobility and accessibility for all to enhance the quality of life of South Australians. • Develop and manage contracted passenger bus, train and tram services within the metropolitan area. • Efficiently and effectively maintain and operate rail infrastructure, facilities and equipment within the metropolitan area. • Guide and administer the South Australian planning and development system that includes land use planning, building, urban design, and development proposals. • Facilitate a whole of government approach to improve economic development, social and environmental outcomes in the following regions identified as being of high need: • the Metropolitan North • the Southern Suburbs • the Upper Spencer Gulf, Flinders Ranges and Outback • the River Murray communities • Strengthen South Australian communities through close cooperation between the State Government and Local Government.

The Department’s principal sources of funds are vehicle registration and driver licence fees, public transport ticket sales, State Government Appropriations and Commonwealth Government Grants.

2. Departmental Organisation

The structure of the Department had been established in a manner that provides clear accountabilities and responsibilities for all business areas and enabled an open and steady flow of information between the areas. The business areas are: • Planning SA • Office of Local Government • Transport Services (trading as Transport SA) • Transport Planning • Office of Public Transport • Office for the Southern Suburbs • Office of the North • Office of the North West (created 1 July 2004) • Regional Ministerial Offices (incorporating Office of the Murray and Office of the Upper Spencer Gulf, Flinders Ranges and Outback).

From 30 May 2005, the Department’s name changed from the Department of Transport and Urban Planning to the Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure in preparation for structural changes to occur on 1 July 2005, as reported in the Government Gazette (dated 18 April 2005).

There were no changes to the Department’s Agency structure during 2004-05 other than on 1 July 2004, when the Office of the North West was created with the same aim as the already established metropolitan and regional offices, addressing the specific needs of the North Western suburbs of Adelaide.

On 1 July 2004, the operations of the Passenger Transport Asset Management Business Unit (PTAM) were amalgamated with those of the Office of Public Transport to improve efficiencies in managing the Adelaide Metro bus contractors. Effective from that date, the sector status of the Office of Public Transport was reclassified to general government.

Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure

The Executive Directors of the agencies within the Department report to the Chief Executive, Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

3.1 Basis of Accounting

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with: • Treasurer’s Instructions and Accounting Policy Statements promulgated under the provision of the Public Finance and Audit Act, 1987; • Applicable Australian Accounting Standards; • Other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia.

The Department’s Statement of Financial Performance and Statement of Financial Position have been prepared on an accrual basis and are in accordance with historical cost convention, except for certain assets that were valued in accordance with the valuation policy applicable.

The continued existence of the Department in its present form, and with its present programs, is dependent on Government policy and on continuing appropriations by Parliament for the Department’s administration and programs.

3.2 Reporting Entity

The Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure produced both Departmental and Administered financial statements. The Departmental financial statements include the use of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses controlled or incurred by the Department in its own right. The Administered financial statements includes the revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities which the Department administers on behalf of the SA Government but does not control.

3.3 Transitional Reporting Arrangements

In accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AAS 29A “Amendments to the Transitional Provisions of AAS 29”, certain assets acquired prior to 1 July 1996 have not been recognised as assets in the Statement of Financial Position because of inherent difficulty in the reliable measurement of these assets. The assets concerned are land under roads and within carriageway reserves.

3.4 Comparative Figures

In 2003-04, the Department of Treasury and Finance issued the first model financial report for South Australian Government Departments to ensure a consistent and uniform presentation for financial reporting in the SA Public Sector. These model accounts, although not mandated through the issue of a Treasurer’s Instruction, indicate the preferred form and content of financial statements for Departments.

The Department has continued to adopt the model financial report content and format for its financial statements for the 2004-05 financial year.

Where appropriate, the comparative data for 2003-04 have been changed in order to ensure the consistency of information presented.

The 2003-04 comparative data for the Office of Public Transport is for six months only, from the date when the Office was first established on 1 January 2004. The Department’s 2004-05 financial statements have full year data for the Office.

3.5 Rounding

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

Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure

3.6 Service Provider Unit Operations

Service Provider units are individual work units that operate on a fee for service basis. Service Provider units predominantly have as their clients other units within the Department and may also undertake some work for external parties. Some Service Provider units charge actual costs directly to projects, while others retain actual costs within a working account prior to on-charging those costs. The recurrent or capital nature of the cost is therefore not readily apparent. A reliable means of allocating costs between investing and operating has been established based on the history of work performed or an apportionment relevant to the nature of the units’ operations.

Service Provider unit revenue arising from operations with external clients is disclosed in the Statement of Financial Performance. Revenue arising from intra-agency operations has been eliminated.

3.7 Business Overheads

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

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

3.8 Taxation

In accordance with the National Competition Policy principles (Tax Equivalent Regime), State Government Business Enterprises in competition with private industry are liable for payment of Commonwealth, State and Local Government taxes with an equivalent payment to be made to the Department of Treasury and Finance. The Business Unit within the Department, which has been subject to the taxation equivalent regime, is the Passenger Transport Asset Management (PTAM) Business Unit.

PTAM no longer bears the status of a taxable entity within the scope of this regime, but is still required to fulfil any outstanding obligations to the Department of Treasury and Finance.

The Department is also liable for payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, goods and services tax, emergency services levy, land tax equivalents and local government rate equivalents.

In accordance with the requirements of UIG Abstract 31 ‘Accounting for the Goods and Services Tax (GST)’, revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except that:

• The amount of GST incurred by the Department as a purchaser that is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; and • Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

3.9 Revenue and Expenses

Revenue and Expenses are recognised in the Department’s Statement of Financial Performance when and only when the flow or consumption or loss of economic benefits has occurred and can be reliably measured.

Revenue and Expenses have been classified according to their nature in accordance with APS 13 Form and Content of General Purpose Financial Reports and have not been offset unless required or permitted by another accounting standard.

Registration and licence fees are recognised as revenues when the Department obtains control over the funds. Control is generally obtained upon receipt of those funds.

Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure

Revenue from fees and charges are derived from the provision of goods and services to other SA Government agencies and to the public. These revenues are driven by consumer demand and are therefore recognised as revenues upon the delivery of goods and services to customers.

Revenue from disposal of non-current assets is recognised when control of the asset has passed to the buyer.

The provision of assets to the Department at no value or minimal value is recorded in the Statement of Financial Performance as revenue at an amount equal to the fair value of the asset received.

Grants provided by the Department to other entities for general assistance or for a particular purpose are recognised as expenses in the period when these resources are provided. Grants provided to other entities may be in the form of monies or other assets.

Grants received by the Department from other entities are generally monies given to fund capital or recurrent activities. These grants are recognised by the Department as revenue at the time of receipt.

All grants are usually subject to terms and conditions as set out in the contract, correspondence or legislation governing the provision of the grant.

Revenues collected but not controlled by the Department are not recognised as Departmental revenues but instead are reported as administered revenues. Such amounts are required to be paid to the Consolidated Account or funds controlled by other Departments.

3.10 Revenues from/Payments to SA Government Appropriations for program funding are recognised as revenues when the Department obtains control over the assets. Control over appropriations is normally obtained upon their receipt and are accounted for in accordance with Treasurer’s Instruction 3 Appropriation. Where money has been appropriated in the form of an equity contribution, the Treasurer has acquired a financial interest in the net assets of the Department. These funds are recorded as contributed capital.

Payments include taxation revenues and expiation fees paid directly to the Department of Treasury and Finance consolidated account.

3.11 Current and Non-Current Items

Assets and liabilities are characterised as either current or non-current in nature. The Department has a clearly identifiable operating cycle of 12 months. Assets and liabilities that will be realised as part of the normal operating cycle will be classified as current assets or current liabilities. All other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current.

3.12 Cash

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand, cash at bank and deposits at call that are readily converted to cash and are used in the cash management function on a day-to-day basis. Cash is measured at nominal value.

In October 2003 the Government introduced a policy with respect to aligning agency cash balances with appropriation and expenditure authority. This policy came into effect during the course of 2003-04. The Department was not required to transfer any cash balances in that year or in 2004-05.

Administered cash is reported separately in the Administered Financial Statements.

3.13 Receivables

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

Other debtors arise outside the normal course of providing goods and services to other agencies and to the public. If payment has not been received within 90 days after the amount falls due, under the terms and conditions of the arrangement with the debtor, the Department is able to charge interest at commercial rates until the whole amount of the debt is paid.

The provision for doubtful debts is calculated at different rates because each Agency within the Department has very different business operations. The rates used to calculate the provision for doubtful debts for 2004- 05 are: • Transport Services – 1% • Transport Planning – 1% • Offices for Sustainable Social, Environmental and Economic Development – 1% • Office of Public Transport – 1% • Planning SA – nil • Office of Local Government – nil

3.14 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or their net realisable value.

Inventories such as metrotickets consist of tickets held for sale or distribution and are valued at cost. Inventories of roadside materials are valued at historic cost and stores are valued on a weighted average historic cost basis. Departmental work in progress for clients external to the Department is valued at cost.

3.15 Non-Current Asset Acquisition and Recognition

Assets are initially recorded at cost or at the value of any liabilities assumed, plus any incidental cost involved with the acquisition. Where assets are acquired at no value, or minimal value, they are recorded at their fair value in the Statement of Financial Position. However, if the assets are acquired at no or nominal value as part of a restructuring of administrative arrangements then the assets are recorded at the value recorded by the transferor prior to transfer.

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

The Department capitalises non-current physical assets with a value of $2,000 or greater in accordance with policies that are consistent with Accounting Policy Statement 2 Asset Recognition.

In accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AAS 29A “Amendments to the Transitional Provisions of AAS 29”, the Department has elected not to recognise land under roads and land within carriageway reserves acquired prior to 1 July 1996 as assets in the Statement of Financial Position. Refer note 3.4 above.

3.16 Intangible Assets

The acquisition or internal development of software is only capitalised when the expenditure can be reliably measured in accordance with existing Departmental policies and where the amount of expenditure is greater than or equal to $10,000, in accordance with Accounting Policy Statement 2 Asset Recognition, paragraph 23.

Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure

3.17 Revaluation of Non-Current Assets

In accordance with AASB 1041 ‘Revaluation of Non-current Assets’ and Accounting Policy Statement APS 3 Valuation of Non-Current Assets: • all non-current physical assets are revalued to their estimated fair value; and • the revaluation of non-current assets or group of assets is only performed when its fair value at the time of acquisition is greater than $1 million and estimated useful life is greater than 3 years

Every three years, the Department revalues its land, buildings and leasehold improvements. Information Technology and Minor Plant assets are valued at historic cost or written down historic cost and are not revalued.

If at any time management considers that the carrying amount of an asset materially differs from its fair value, then the asset will be revalued regardless of when the last valuation took place. Non-current physical assets that are acquired between revaluations are either held at cost until the next valuation, or revalued where the fair value is likely to be materially different from the acquisition value.

Revaluation increments are credited directly to the Asset Revaluation Reserve. If an increment reverses a revaluation decrement previously recognised as an expense in the Statement of Financial Performance in respect of that same class of assets, it is recognised as revenue in the Statement of Financial Performance, but only to the extent of the value of any decrement previously recognised in the statement.

Revaluation decrements are offset against any previous Asset Revaluation Reserve increment for that particular class of asset and any remaining balance is expensed.

The valuation methodology of specific classes of non-current assets is as follows.

Land Under Roads

The Department has elected not to recognise land under roads acquired or transferred to the Department before 1 July 1996 in the Statement of Financial Position in accordance with Accounting Standard AAS 29A “Amendments to the Transitional Provisions in AAS29.”

Land under roads, which the Department has recognised, is either held in fee simple in the name of the Commissioner of Highways or designated as Public Road.

Land under roads that was acquired and owned in fee simple by the Commissioner of Highways between 1 July 1996 and 30 June 2003 is valued based upon the Valuer General’s latest valuations.

Land under roads acquired in the name of the Commissioner of Highways and transferred to Public Road between 1 July 1996 and 30 June 2003 is valued at nil value or at cost (for land that was acquired as Public Road during that period.)

Land under roads acquired since 30 June 2003 is valued at cost.

Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure

Land

All Land held by the Department, except Land Under Roads, is valued at fair value, based on information received by the Valuer-General of South Australia. It was agreed with the Department of Treasury and Finance that the use of the Valuer-General’s valuations for Land constitutes the fair value of those assets.

Former SA Ports Corporation Land and Associated Assets On 25 June 2002, substantial portions of previous Ports Corporation land assets, navigation aids and various dredged channels were transferred to the Minister for Transport. These assets are being progressively defined and titled, at which time they will be included in the Department’s asset register. To date, all Navigational Aids have been included in the Department’s asset register at written down replacement cost under Network Assets.

Most of these assets are leased to Flinders Ports under an arrangement whereby no lease rental is payable in consideration of the payment made by Flinders Ports to buy the improvements and operate the seven principal commercial ports.

Former Australian National Rail Land and Associated Assets These assets have been progressively defined, valued and recorded in the Department’s asset register as assets vested in or transferred to the Minister for Transport.

Network Assets

Network assets are valued at written down replacement cost (current replacement cost less accumulated depreciation) and are revalued every three years either by independent valuers, or by suitably qualified officers of the Department. These constructed assets have no market and are therefore valued at written down replacement cost which is considered to be equivalent to fair value. The reasonableness of this valuation approach for roads and earthworks was agreed upon under the advice from an independent engineering consultant (L B Dowling & Associates) in 2001-2002.

The Department’s methodology for valuing the road network includes the recognition of salvage values to ensure that depreciation expense on the road network is in accordance with the treatment prescribed in Australian Accounting Standard AASB 1021 'Depreciation'.

Plant and Equipment

Buses, bus depot plant and equipment, ferries and towing vessels are all valued at written down replacement cost. Other plant and equipment is valued at historic cost deemed to be the fair value of these assets.

Works in Progress

All works in progress are valued at cost.

3.18 Depreciation and Amortisation of Non-Current Assets

Amortisation is used in relation to intangible assets, while depreciation is applied to physical assets such as property, plant and equipment in relation to their useful life.

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

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

Land, earthworks and work in progress are not depreciated.

The value of leasehold improvements is amortised over the estimated useful life of each improvement, or the unexpired period of the relevant lease, whichever is shorter.

Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure

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

Depreciation / amortisation for non-current assets is determined as follows:

Asset Class Depreciation Estimated Useful Life Method

Network Assets Roads and Signs Straight Line 40 - 58 years depending on road category Bridges/Culverts Straight Line 60 - 100 years based on individual structures Major Signs Straight Line 37-60 years Traffic Signals and Road Lighting Straight Line 15 years Busway (including interchanges) Straight Line 4 - 100 years based on individual structures Other Straight Line Useful life depends on individual asset items

Buildings and Facilities Bus Depots Straight Line 40 years Other Straight Line 3 - 100 years, depending on individual asset items

Plant and Equipment Information Technology equipment Straight Line 3 years Buses Diminishing Value 20 years Bus Depot Plant & Equipment Straight Line 1 - 25 years, depending on individual asset items Other plant and equipment Straight Line 5 - 99 years depending on individual asset items

Intangible Assets Software Straight Line 5 years

3.19 Remediation of Non-current Assets

Land remediation undertaken within the Department is designed to restore the asset to its original state or condition. To the extent that land remediation does not meet the recognition criteria of an asset under Statement of Accounting Concept 4 (SAC4), the costs of remediation are generally expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Where the remedial work is to be performed in response to a present obligation, either under legislation or under a contractual arrangement to a third party, the Department recognises a provision for any future work.

3.20 Payables

Payables include creditors, accrued expenses and employment on-costs.

Creditors represent the amounts owed by the Department for goods and services received prior to the end of the reporting period that are unpaid at the end of the reporting period. Creditors include all unpaid invoices received relating to the normal operations of the Department.

Accrued expenses represent goods and services provided to the Department by other parties during the period that are unpaid at the end of the reporting period and where an invoice has not been received.

Employment on-costs include superannuation contributions and payroll tax with respect to outstanding liabilities for salaries and wages, long service leave and annual leave.

The Department also makes contributions to several superannuation schemes operated by the State Government. These contributions are treated as an expense when they occur. There is no liability for payments to beneficiaries as the South Australian Superannuation Board (SASB) has assumed these. The only payable outstanding at balance date relates to any contributions due but not yet paid to the SASB.

Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure

All payables are measured at their nominal amount. Creditors are normally settled within 30 days after the Department receives an invoice in accordance with Treasurer’s Instruction 8 Expenditure for Supply Operations and Other Goods and Services.

3.21 Employee Benefits

These benefits accrue for employees as a result of services provided up to the reporting date that remain unpaid for salaries and wages, annual and long service leave.

The liability for salaries and wages is measured as the amount unpaid at the reporting date at remuneration rates current at reporting date. The liability for annual leave reflects the value of total annual leave entitlements of all employees as at 30 June 2005 and is measured at the nominal amount.

The provision for long service leave has been calculated on the basis of current wages and salaries rates using the Department of Treasury and Finance benchmark of seven years service as a shorthand estimation of long service leave liability. The liability payable within 12 months has been measured at nominal value, while the liability payable later than 12 months as at 30 June 2005 has been measured at a discounted value in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 1028 ‘Employee Benefits’ and guidelines of Accounting Policy Statement 9 Employee Entitlements.

No provision has been made for sick leave as all sick leave is non-vesting and the average sick leave taken in future years by employees is estimated to be less than the annual entitlement of sick leave.

Related on-costs of payroll tax, superannuation and workers compensation premiums are shown under the item Payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

3.22 Provisions

Liabilities have been reported to reflect unsettled workers compensation claims and future remediation work required on land under the Ports Corp Business and Sale Agreement.

The workers compensation provision is based on an actuarial assessment performed by the Public Sector Occupational Health and Injury Management Branch of the Department for Administrative and Information Services.

The land remediation provision has been calculated on the basis of discounted net present value of budgeted forward expenditure estimates as agreed under the 2004-05 Budget Bilateral deliberations.

3.23 Leases

The Department has entered into finance leases and operating leases.

Finance Leases The Department has entered into finance leases as lessor, in regards to the Government’s Recreational Jetties Divestment Program. As a result of this program, 29 jetties have been leased to Councils throughout the State.

The jetties were previously recognised as assets of the Department and were valued at $19.6 million with $7.3 million accumulated depreciation, to give a written down replacement value of $12.3 million as at 30 June 2002. Under the terms of the lease agreement, the leases have been assessed as being finance leases due to the passing of risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased items to the lessees. There is no material revenue to the Department as peppercorn rentals of $1 per annum apply over each of the 50 or 99-year lease terms.

While the Department retains ownership of these jetties, control has effectively passed to various local councils, who bear the entire risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased items. As a result, these jetties are no longer recorded on the Department’s asset register.

Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure

Operating Leases In respect of operating leases, the lessor effectively retains substantially the entire risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased items. Operating lease payments are charged to the Statement of Financial Performance on a basis that is representative of the pattern of benefits derived from the leased assets.

The Department has entered into a number of operating lease agreements for plant and vehicles, office accommodation, land for stacking roadside materials, land used for rail purposes and computer and office equipment.

The Department will be re-examining the nature of its operating leases to determine if the accounting treatment of these items is appropriate in the context of a review of whole of government leasing guidelines.

3.24 Transactions by the Government as Owner

Appropriations to the Department designated as ‘equity contributions’ are recognised directly in equity in accordance with Treasurer’s Instruction 3 ‘Appropriation’.

4. Changes in Accounting Policies

4.1 Impact of Adopting Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards

Australia will be adopting Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) for reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2005. The Department will adopt these standards for the first time in the published financial report for the year ended 30 June 2006. The new requirements will apply retrospectively except for specific exemptions in accordance with AASB 1 First- Time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to IFRS.

In accordance with the requirements of AASB 1047 Disclosing the Impacts of Adopting Australian Equivalents to International Standards, a table has been prepared summarising any known or reliably estimated information about the impacts on the financial report had it been prepared using AIFRS.

AAS 29/AAS 29A Reporting by Government Departments

Under the revised AAS 29 standard and its transitional provisions (AAS 29A), reporting entities will be expected to adopt and apply a policy on recognition of land under roads that is consistent with that to be applied at the time of transition. The Department’s current policy is to recognise land under roads acquired on or after 30th June 1996.

Regardless of these transitional provisions, under the Accounting Policy Framework (APS 9.6) as issued by the Department of Treasury and Finance, the Department will be required to de-recognise any land under roads brought to account if it cannot measure reliably all land under roads within its control. Any future disclosure of land under roads will be limited to the notes to the financial statements. This restriction on recognition and disclosure will also apply to the Department’s holdings of land under water.

As at 30 June 2005, the Department recorded a value of $12.336 million for land under roads and $8.537 million for land under water in its corporate asset register and ledger. These items will be de-recognised and disclosed in the notes to the financial statements until such time as all land under this type of infrastructure can be measured reliably.

AASB 5 Non Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

This standard will require the Department to measure the value of assets which meet the criteria of “held for sale” at lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. The standard will also require the Department to separately disclose any asset held for sale either on the face or in the notes to the financial statements under the category current assets.

As at 30 June 2005, the Department has noted surplus land, buildings and facilities with fair (market) value of $6.093 million and estimated costs to sell of $0.083 million qualifying for separate disclosure as assets “held for sale” under AASB 5. These assets currently have a carrying amount of $3.557 million in the corporate asset register and financial ledger based on Valuer-General’s assessment.

Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure

The following standards will have some impact on the financial statements, although the impact will not be significant.

AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment

Under this standard, the Department is required to separately recognise and depreciate any parts of items of property, plant or equipment where such parts are significant in cost and have useful lives materially different from the assets to which they relate. As from 1 July 2005, the Department will therefore be recognising and separately depreciating components of its administrative office building located at Walkerville.

As at 30 June 2005, lifts within the Walkerville building structure were independently assessed with a current replacement value of $1.29 million and estimated useful life of 30 years from installation. The passenger lifts were given an upgrade 10 years ago. The goods lift is nearing its end of life with only 3 years remaining. The air-conditioning system, which was fully depreciated, was only recently upgraded at a cost of $3.647 million with an estimated useful life of 20 years.

Although the reduction in annual depreciation expense derived from the separate recognition of the air conditioning and lifts is expected to be minor, both components will be separately recognised in the corporate asset register from the building structure itself, which has a remaining useful life of 14 years. Since the air-conditioning upgrade was completed in early-mid July 2005, the requirement for separate recognition will not be applied to the opening Statement of Financial Position for 1 July 2005 under AIFRS.

The Department currently reports information on its Network Assets using an appropriate level of grouping of like or similar functioning assets for this particular asset class.

AASB 116 also provides reporting entities a choice in using the “gross” or “net” method of accounting for accumulated depreciation on the revaluation of non-current assets. The Accounting Policy Framework as issued by the Department of Treasury and Finance recommends the “net” method as the preferred method across SA Government, however the Department currently uses the “gross” method and will continue to apply this basis in future with respect to the revaluation treatment of its asset base.

AASB 138 Intangible Assets

The Department currently recognises intangible assets such as software and will continue to capitalise and amortise the costs of acquiring or internally developing major software applications such as TRUMPS (Transport Regulation User Management Processing System) under this standard.

As at 30 June 2005, costs incurred to date in the development of this application as reflected under “works in progress” amounted to $7.238 million of which only $6.304 million is likely to satisfy the recognition criteria for intangibles under AAS 138. The difference of $0.934 million will be expensed at the date of adopting AIFRS instead of when the project is completed.

AASB 102 Inventories

The definition of inventories under this standard will require the Department to separately disclose in the notes to the financial statements “inventories held for distribution” from “inventories held for sale”.

As at 30 June 2005, the Department held $5.729 million relating to roadside materials, stores and supplies that would qualify for disclosure as inventories held for distribution, and $0.051 million relating to metrotickets that would qualify as inventories held for sale.

Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure

The following standards deal with matters for which the Department is either unable to quantify its disclosures with sufficient reliability, or the likely impact on the financial statements in future is unknown.

UIG 1055 Accounting for Earthworks

This abstract will require the Department to identify and undertake an annual review of depreciable road earthworks. A recent investigation performed by the Transport Information Section of the Department revealed that circumstances or factors that would normally support the need to recognise depreciation on road earthworks do not apply to the road network in this State.

The Department will therefore continue its current practice of not depreciating road earthworks and simply recognise this asset as a separate grouping or component of its Network Asset class. At the same time, the Department will review the depreciable nature of earthworks on an annual basis in accordance with UIG 1005 requirements. The extent to which factors that determine the depreciable nature of earthworks may change is unknown.

AASB 136 Impairment of Assets

Under this standard, the Department will be required to apply an annual test to ensure that the financial statements at year-end reflect the impact of any asset impairments.

The Department believes that its asset base is re-valued at a frequency sufficient to ensure that changes in values of assets will not vary materially from one reporting period to the next. The risk of any event or circumstance that may give rise to the Department reporting impairment in future is considered to be minimal.

AASB 1004 Contributions/AASB 118 Revenue

Grants from the Australian Commonwealth Government for the funding of road construction or maintenance are currently recognised by the Department as revenue at the time of receipt.

Under the changes likely to be proposed by the Australian Accounting Standards Board with respect to the recognition of contributions and revenues in AASB 1004 and AASB 118, the Department may be required to recognise grant revenue only when goods or services to be provided under these transfer arrangements have been fulfilled.

The Department anticipates that the revised AAS29 Financial Reporting by Government Departments will outline principles for the accounting treatment of grants similar to those specified under ED 125 Financial Reporting by Local Government. However, the Accounting Policy Framework as issued by the Department of Treasury and Finance has not been updated to outline the general treatment of “revenue” for SA Government reporting entities under AIFRS as the Board has yet to release its amendments to AASB 29, AASB 1004 and AASB 118.

Until such time as the revisions in the Accounting Standards and Accounting Policy Framework are released, the Department must assume no change to the existing accounting treatment for grant revenue, i.e. grant revenue will continue to be recorded at the time the monies are received. The Department is therefore unable to fully disclose the impact of these likely changes.

AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

This standard requires a reporting entity to recognise provisions associated with the costs of disposal or retirement of non-current assets. Although such provisions have normally been excluded from the scope of AASB 1044 under GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), the Department does not expect the new standard to alter its general accounting treatment for items such as land remediation.

The Department’s current policy is to expense the costs of land remediation where these do not meet the criteria of assets or liabilities. The Department’s current practice is also one of recognising a provision for future land remediation where an obligation exists to a third party and the costs can be reliably measured.

Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure

As at 30 June 2005, the Department has disclosed a provision of $6.030 million for future land remediation of assets subject to the Ports Corp Business and Sale Agreement (Refer to Note 37), and a non-quantifiable contingent liability for possible material exposure to future costs for the remediation of other contaminated land (Refer to Note 42).

With respect to the contingent liability, the adoption of AASB 137 is not likely to change the Department’s uncertainties surrounding the amount of this exposure. The Department expects these costs to be quantifiable at a later date when more information is known as to the full extent and nature of activities required to restore or remediate these assets.

Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure

40. Financial Instruments

(a) Terms, Conditions and Accounting Policies (i) Financial Assets Cash is available at call and is recorded at cost. Interest revenue is recorded on an accrual basis, with only certain funds held within the total cash balance being interest bearing. Receivables are raised for all goods and services provided, for which payment has not been received. Receivables are normally settled within 30 days. Refer Note 26.

(ii) Financial Liabilities Creditors and accruals are raised for all amounts billed but unpaid, when the goods and services have been provided. Sundry creditors are normally settled within 30 days. Borrowings are recorded at the amount still owing, taking into account repayments and interest accrued. Interest expense is recognised on an accrual basis. Loans are drawn from the Department of Treasury and Finance and the interest rate is the Treasurer’s Common Public Sector Interest Rate of 6.75% (as at 30/6/05). Repayments are determined in negotiation with the South Australian Government Financing Authority (SAFA).

(b) Interest Rate Risk

(c) Net Fair Values Financial Instruments are valued at the carrying amount as per the Statement of Financial Position, which approximates the net fair value. The carrying amount of financial assets approximates net fair value due to their short-term to maturity or being receivable on demand. The carrying amount of financial liabilities is considered to be a reasonable estimate of net fair value.

(d) Credit Risk Exposure The Department’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date in relation to financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the Statement of Financial Position. The Department has no significant exposures to any concentrations of credit risk.

41. Commitments for Expenditure

2005 2004 $’000 $’000 Capital Commitments Capital expenditure contracted for at the reporting date but not recognised as liabilities in the financial report, are payable as follows: Not later than one year 37 357 68 257 Total Capital Commitments 37 357 68 257

The Department’s Capital Commitments are predominantly for aggregate capital expenditure on construction projects relating to road networks. During 2004-05, the Department has moved towards purchasing its major capital assets instead of leasing.

2005 2004 $’000 $’000 Other Commitments Not later than one year 241 699 218 545 Later than one year but not later than five years 742 677 151 Later than five years - 198 Total Other Commitments 984 376 218 894

The Department’s Other Commitments are for agreements equally and proportionately unperformed. This has increased significantly from 2003-04 due to the Metropolitan Bus Contracts being re-tendered and new leases entered into during 2004-05 as the old leases were due to expire on 23 April 2005, and the Rail Contracts were due to expire on 1 July 2005.

2005 2004 $’000 $’000 Operating Lease Commitments Commitments under non-cancellable operating leases at the reporting date which are not recognised as liabilities in the financial report, are payable as follows: Not later than one year 9 075 8 244 Later than one year but not later than five years 18 023 14 429 Later than five years 27 141 25 394 Total Operating Lease Commitments 54 239 48 067

The Department’s Operating Leases include motor vehicles, office accommodation, land for stacking roadside materials, land used for rail purposes and computer and office equipment. These commitments are not recognised as liabilities in the financial report.

The property leases are non-cancellable leases with terms ranging from 1 to 10 years. Rental is payable in arrears. Contingent rental provisions within the lease agreements require the minimum lease payments to be regularly reviewed and increased by either a CPI factor, to market value, or a fixed percentage. Various options exist to renew the leases at the end of their terms. A number of leases have no option to renew.

The computer equipment leases are non-cancellable leases with the lease term being 3-4 years. The lease contains three options at the conclusion of the current 3-4 year term being: return equipment, extend the lease at fair market value or purchase the equipment at fair market value.

The motor vehicle and photocopier leases are non-cancellable leases, with rental payable monthly in arrears. No contingent rental provisions exist within the lease agreement and no options exist to renew the leases at the end of their terms.

The Department will be re-examining the nature of its operating leases to determine if the accounting treatment of these items is appropriate in the context of a review of whole of government leasing guidelines.

42. Contingent Assets and Liabilities

Quantifiable At year-end, the Department had the following contingent asset that it was able to quantify in dollar terms: 2005 $’000 The Department is currently in dispute with AGL over energy savings for the final quarter 375 of 2003-04. If successful the savings will be received in 2005-06. Total Quantifiable Contingent Assets 375

Non-Quantifiable At year-end, the Department had possible material exposures resulting from litigation (or pending litigation) in respect of claims for property damage or personal injury. The Department had also received notification of other cases not yet subject to Court action, which may result in subsequent litigation in the future.

The Department also has possible material exposure resulting from the ongoing monitoring and treatment of contaminated land assets to bring the land into a position for future sale.

In addition, the Department has a possible obligation to the Department of Treasury and Finance relating to Indentured Ports, which is reliant on payment being received from a third party regarding outstanding debts for the use of the Ports.

During the year, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) conducted a GST audit. Discussions with the ATO have indicated that there may be an issue in relation to the treatment of recipient created tax invoices. The Department has forwarded a report to the ATO outlining its position in relation to this matter. If accepted, the Department is of the view that the financial impact will be minimal.

The Department believes that the extent of these liabilities cannot be reliably measured at balance date.

44. Indenture Ports

Transport Services manages the indenture and private ports. Funds in regard to cargo services and harbour services charges are collected by Transport Services and applied to the maintenance of indenture ports. Any remaining funds are paid to the Department of Treasury and Finance by way of a dividend. Assets associated with these ports include land and facilities at Port Bonython, Ardrossan and Whyalla.

The amount paid to the Department of Treasury and Finance in 2004-05 was $0.440 million ($3m).

45. Rail Transport Facilitation Fund

The Rail Transport Facilitation Fund Act 2001, which established the Rail Transport Facilitation Fund was proclaimed in December 2001. Net income derived from the sale or leasing of railway assets and net income derived by the State from rail facilitation projects is to be paid into the fund.

Approval was given for the creation of the Rail Transport Facilitation Fund on 20 September 2002. Income from the sale and leasing of railway land and costs associated with these assets has been transacted through the Transport Operating Account up to 20 September 2002.

46. Community Road Safety Fund

The Community Road Safety Fund is funded by revenue collected by SAPOL and the Courts Administration Authority for speeding fines and has been operative since 1 July 2003. The amount is paid into the Consolidated Account and subsequently transferred to the Fund by Treasury and Finance and utilised for the purposes of Road Safety related expenditure. In addition to safety related improvements, payments are also made to SAPOL for safety related policing expenditure.

A21. Financial Instruments

(a) Terms, Conditions and Accounting Policies (i) Financial Assets Cash is available at call and is recorded at cost. Receivables are raised for all goods and services provided, for which payment has not been received. Receivables are normally settled within 30 days or in line with agreements entered into for specific Administered Items. (ii) Financial Liabilities Creditors and accruals are raised for all amounts billed but unpaid, when the goods and services have been provided. Sundry creditors are normally settled within 30 days or in line with agreements entered into for specific Administered Items. Borrowings are recorded at the amount still owing, taking into account repayments and interest accrued. Interest expense is recognised on an accrual basis. Loans are drawn from the Department of Treasury and Finance and the interest rate is the Treasurer’s Common Public Sector Interest Rate of 6.84% (as at 30/6/05). Repayments are determined in negotiation with the South Australian Government Financing Authority (SAFA).

(c) Net Fair Values Financial Instruments are valued at the carrying amount as per the Statement of Financial Position, which approximates the net fair value. The carrying amount of financial assets approximates net fair value due to their short-term to maturity or being receivable on demand. The carrying amount of financial liabilities is considered to be a reasonable estimate of net fair value.

(d) Credit Risk Exposure The Department’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date in relation to financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the Statement of Financial Position. The Department has no significant exposures to any concentrations of credit risk.

Planning and Development Fund

1. Objectives of the Fund

The Planning and Development Fund was established under section 79 of the Development Act 1993.

The key objective of the Fund is to provide the Government with the means to implement a Statewide open space program. The Fund is applied towards the purchase, development and management of open space and the servicing of capital costs associated with the provision of the open space.

The primary source of funding is from developers who are required, pursuant to Section 50 of the Development Act 1993, to contribute to the Planning and Development Fund in lieu of the provision of 12.5% of the development as open space, in accordance with a prescribed formula and rate, where the number of allotments in land sub-division are 20 or less. A contribution into the Planning and Development Fund is also required where developers create Community titles.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2.1 Basis of Accounting

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with: • Treasurer’s Instructions and Accounting Policy Statements promulgated under the provision of the Public Finance and Audit Act, 1987 • Applicable Australian Accounting Standards • Other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia.

The Statement of Financial Performance and Statement of Financial Position have been prepared on an accrual basis and are in accordance with historical cost convention, except for certain assets that were valued in accordance with the valuation policy applicable.

The continued existence of the Fund in its present form is dependent on Government policy.

2.2 Reporting Entity

The financial statements include the use of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses controlled or incurred by the Fund in its own right.

2.3 Rounding

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

2.4 Taxation

In accordance with the requirements of UIG Abstract 31 ‘Accounting for the Goods and Services Tax (GST)’, revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST.

The amount of GST incurred by the Planning and Development Fund as a purchaser that is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense.

The net GST receivable/payable to the Australian Taxation Office is not recognised as a receivable/payable in the Statement of Financial Position as the Fund is a member of an approved GST group of which Planning SA (Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure) is responsible for the remittance and collection of GST.

There are no cash flows relating to GST transactions with the Australian Taxation Office in the Statement of Cash Flows.

Planning and Development Fund

2.5 Comparative Figures

In 2003-04, the Department of Treasury and Finance issued the first model financial report for South Australian Government Departments to ensure a consistent and uniform presentation for financial reporting in the SA Public Sector. These model accounts, although not mandated through the issue of a Treasurer’s Instruction, indicate the preferred form and content of financial statements for Departments.

The Fund has continued to adopt the model financial report content and format for its financial statements for the 2004-05 financial year.

2.6 Revenue and Expenses

Revenue and Expense are recognised in the Fund’s Statement of Financial Performance when and only when the flow or consumption or loss of economic benefits has occurred and can be reliably measured.

Revenue and Expenses have been classified according to their nature in accordance with APS 13 Form and Content of General Purpose Financial Reports and have not been offset unless required or permitted by another accounting standard.

Land division fees are a requirement of the planning decision process and are payable by the applicant prior to the issue of the Certificate of Approval by the Development Assessment Commission and recorded as revenue upon receipt.

Proceeds from disposal of non-current assets is recognised as revenue upon settlement.

Resources received/provided free of charge are recorded as revenue and expenditure in the Statement of Financial Performance at their fair value. Goods and services received free of charge are recorded as such with the revenue being separately disclosed. Resources provided free of charge are recorded at their fair value in the expense line items to which they relate.

Grants are provided by the Planning and Development Fund to Councils and for expenditure on projects, which enable the Government to discharge its Metropolitan Open Space Scheme (MOSS) and Regional Open Space Enhancement Scheme (ROSES) responsibilities as well as the development of a metropolitan wide Coast Park. Grants are applied towards the acquisition and development of strategic and critical areas for the MOSS, ROSES and Coast Park inline with the Parklands 2036 Strategy, Places for People and open space strategies of Local Government.

2.7 Current and Non-Current Items

Assets and liabilities are characterised as either current or non-current in nature. The Fund has a clearly identifiable operating cycle of 12 months. Therefore assets and liabilities that will be realised as part of the normal operating cycle will be classified as current assets or current liabilities. All other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current.

2.8 Cash

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash comprises cash at bank.

In October 2003 the Government introduced a policy with respect to aligning agency cash balances with appropriation and expenditure authority. It is not practical to estimate the potential effect this may have on the financial position of the entity. This policy came into effect during the course of 2003-04 and although the Fund has not been required to transfer any cash balances this year, it may be required to transfer a portion of its cash balance to the Consolidated Account in future years.

2.9 Receivables

No receivables arise through the process of collecting land division fees. Receivables in the Statement of Financial Position refer only to accrued interest.

Page 2 of 10

Planning and Development Fund

2.10 Non-Current Asset Acquisition and Recognition

Assets are initially recorded at cost or at the value of any liabilities assumed, plus any incidental cost involved with the acquisition. Where assets are acquired at no value, or minimal value, they are recorded at their fair value in the Statement of Financial Position. If however, the assets are acquired at no or nominal value as part of a restructuring of administrative arrangements then the assets are recorded at the value recorded by the transferor prior to transfer.

Where the payment for an asset is deferred, the asset is measured at the present vale of the future outflow, discounted using the interest rate of a similar length borrowing.

In accordance with Accounting Policy Statement 2 Asset Recognition, all non-current physical assets with a value of $2,000 or greater are capitalised.

2.11 Revaluation of Non-Current Assets

In accordance with AASB 1041 ‘Revaluation of Non-current Assets’ and Accounting Policy Statement APS 3 Valuation of Non-Current Assets: • all non-current physical assets are revalued to their estimated fair value; and • the revaluation of non-current assets or group of assets is only performed when its fair value at the time of acquisition is greater than $1 million and estimated useful live is greater than 3 years

Every three years, the Planning and Development Fund revalues its land. However, if at any time management considers that the carrying amount of an asset materially differs from its fair value then the asset will be revalued regardless of when the last valuation took place. Non-current physical assets that are acquired between revaluations are held at cost until the next valuation, where they are revalued to fair value.

Revaluation increments are credited directly to the Asset Revaluation Reserve. However, to the extent that the increment reverses a revaluation decrement previously recognised as an expense in the Statement of Financial Performance in respect of that same class of assets, it is recognised as revenue in the Statement of Financial Performance, but only to the extent of the previous expense.

Revaluation decrements are offset against any previous Asset Revaluation Reserve increment for that particular class of asset and any remaining balance is expensed.

All land was independently valued to fair value as at 30 June 2003. Valuations were performed by the Department for Administrative and Information Services – Land Services Group.

2.12 Depreciation and Amortisation of Non-Current Assets

All non-current assets, having a limited useful life, are systematically depreciated/amortised over their useful lives in a manner that reflects the consumption of their service potential, with the exception of land. Land is not depreciated.

The useful lives of all major assets held by the Planning and Development Fund are reassessed on an annual basis.

Depreciation of non-current assets is determined as follows:

Depreciation Asset Class Method Estimated Useful Life

Planning and Development Fund

2.13 Payables

Payables include creditors and accrued expenses.

Creditors represent the amounts owing for goods and services received prior to the end of the reporting period that are unpaid at the end of the reporting period. Creditors include all unpaid invoices received relating to the normal operations of the Fund.

Accrued expenses represent goods and services provided by other parties during the period that are unpaid at the end of the reporting period and where an invoice has not been received.

All amounts are measured at their nominal amount and are normally settled within 30 days in accordance with Treasurer’s Instruction 8 Expenditure for Supply Operations and Other Goods and Services after the Fund receives an invoice.

3. Changes in Accounting Policies

3.1 Impact of Adopting Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards

Australia will be adopting Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) for reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2005. The Planning and Development Fund will adopt these standards for the first time in the published financial report for the year ended 30 June 2006. The new requirements will apply retrospectively except for specific exemptions in accordance with AASB 1 First-Time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to IFRS.

In accordance with the requirements of AASB 1047 Disclosing the Impact of Adopting Australian Equivalents to International Standards, there is no known impacts on the financial report for the Fund had it been prepared using AIFRS.

(c) Net Fair Values Financial Instruments are valued at the carrying amount as per the Statement of Financial Position, which approximates the net fair value. The carrying amount of financial assets approximates net fair value due to their short-term to maturity or being receivable on demand. The carrying amount of financial liabilities is considered to be a reasonable estimate of net fair value.

(d) Credit Risk Exposure The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date in relation to financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the Statement of Financial Position. The Fund has no significant exposures to any concentrations of credit risk.
