Notes to the operating statement
- The increase of $10.3 million in employee benefits was mainly due to additional staff for the administration of budget initiatives, including the implementation of Economic Survival Package measures.
- The decrease of $1.4 million in depreciation and amortisation was mainly due to the transfer of right-of-use lease assets and the relevant depreciation expenses for office leases under the Centralised Accommodation Management arrangements.
- Grants and other transfers consists of payments made to municipal councils in relation to the administration of the fire services property levy, which were based on the Treasurer’s determination under section 70 of the Fire Services Property Levy Act 2012.
- Expenses from transactions exclude $0.5 million in relation to the administration of the growth area infrastructure contribution, which is operated through a Treasury Trust.
