Department of THE ENVIRONMENT, CLIMATE CHANGE, ENERGY AND WATER
Objectives
The Department of the Environment, Climate Change, Energy and Water (the Department) plays a key role in delivering the Government’s commitment to a sustainable future, complemented by the regulation and enforcement capacity provided through the statutory functions of the Conservator for Flora and Fauna, the Environment Protection Authority and the Clinical Waste Controller.
A key focus of the Department is the development and implementation of policies and programs to ensure more sustainable use of energy, water and waste, to respond and adapt to the challenges of climate change, to protect our natural environment, and to ensure security of the supply of water and energy.
A primary objective for the Department is ensuring a concerted whole of government approach to the threats posed by climate change, through reducing greenhouse gas emissions and developing adaptive responses to potential impacts.
The Department supports and monitors the Government’s progress on key strategic directions including Weathering the Change, the Government’s climate change strategy including the associated Action Plan 2007-11, and Think water, act water, which sets the long-term strategic direction for water resource management in the ACT.
2010-11 Priorities
Strategic and operational priorities to be pursued in 2010-11 include:
•	maintaining and promoting continual improvements in environment protection to enhance our built and natural environment as part of the sustainable development of the ACT;
•	developing Weathering the Change Action Plan 2, which will contain the strategies and actions to transition the ACT towards the Government’s policy objective of zero net emissions for the ACT by 2060;
•	continuing to take forward an energy reform agenda at an ACT and national level;
•	pursuing the ACT Government’s commitment to achieving carbon neutrality;

Notes to the Budget Statements
Significant variations are as follows:
Operating Statement
•	government payment for outputs:  
–	the increase of $0.597 million in the 2009-10 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to the rollover of funding from 2009-10 to 2010-11 ($0.361 million), new Commonwealth funding ($0.325 million) and a transfer of funding from TAMS for services provided by Canberra Connect ($0.024 million), partially offset by the transfer of funding to TAMS ($0.113 million) to undertake the Animal Welfare function; and
–	the decrease of $0.139 million in the 2010‑11 Budget from the 2009‑10 estimated outcome is due to the cessation of initiatives and rollovers ($1.746 million), reduction in Commonwealth funding ($0.2 million) and other minor adjustments, partially offset by new initiatives ($1.350 million), increased funding transferred from TAMS ($0.335 million) and revised wage parameters ($0.137 million).
•	taxes, fees and fines:  the decrease of $0.425 million in the 2009‑10 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to the reclassification of revenue from ‘taxes, fees and fines’ to ‘other revenue’.
•	user charges — non ACT Government:  
–	the decrease of $2.228 million in the 2009-10 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to the recognition of funding for the construction of Flemington Roads Ponds being deferred until 2010-11 ($3.075 million), partially offset by increased funding for Commonwealth grants ($0.795 million), primarily for the Caring for Our Country program; and
–	the increase of $2.849 million in the 2010-11 Budget from the 2009-10 estimated outcome is due to recognition of revenue which had been deferred from 2009-10, partially offset by a reduction in funding for Commonwealth grants. 
•	interest:  the increase of $0.111 million in the 2009‑10 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to increased cash balances as a result of Commonwealth funding received for the Canberra Integrated Urban Waterways project and the Caring for our Country program.
•	other revenue:  the increase of $0.425 million in the 2009‑10 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to the reclassification of revenue from ‘taxes, fees and fines’ to ‘other revenue’.
•	employee and superannuation expenses:
–	the increase of $0.520 million in the 2009-10 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to increased staffing, the costs of which have been met from additional grant revenue, partially offset by the transfer of a staff member to TAMS and a decrease in long service leave expense; and
–	the increase of $0.746 million in the 2010-11 Budget from the 2009-10 estimated outcome is largely due to new recurrent initiatives and revised wage parameters.
•	supplies and services:
–	the decrease of $0.706 million in the 2009-10 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to reclassification of some costs associated with grant programs to other expenditure lines ($2.117 million) and the transfer of costs associated with the Animal Welfare function to TAMS, partially offset by additional expenditure on supplies and services associated with funding brought forward from 2008-09 ($0.361 million) and additional revenues received for delivery of specific projects ($1.046 million); and
–	the decrease of $0.571 million in the 2010-11 Budget from the 2009-10 estimated outcome reflects a reduction in expenditure relating to Commonwealth funded programs, cessation of funding for non-ongoing initiatives, partially offset by funding for new initiatives.
•	depreciation:
•	the increase of $0.042 million in the 2009‑10 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to leasehold improvements completed during the year; and
•	the increase of $0.140 million in the 2010‑11 Budget from the 2009‑10 estimated outcome is due to the expected completion of the Dickson and Lyneham ponds.
•	grants and purchased services: 
–	the increase of $1.495 million in the 2009-10 estimated outcome from the original budget is largely due to reclassification of some costs associated with grant programs from supplies and services; and
–	the decrease of $1.388 million in the 2010-11 Budget from the 2009-10 estimated outcome reflects a reduction in proposed expenditure associated with a reduction in Commonwealth grant funding and cessation of non-ongoing initiatives.
•	other expenses:  the increase of $0.503 million in the 2009‑10 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to the reclassification of rebate funding for the ACTSmart initiative from ‘supplies and services’ to ‘other expenses’.
Balance Sheet
•	cash and cash equivalents:
•	the increase of $6.370 million in the 2009‑10 estimated outcome from the original budget is primarily due to the flow-on effects of the 2008‑09 audited outcome; and
–	the decrease of $3.602 million in the 2010‑11 Budget from the 2009‑10 estimated outcome is mainly due to construction costs relating to the Flemington Road Pond ($2.691 million) and payment of expected loans provided to ACT Government agencies under the Energy Efficiency Fund initiative ($0.911 million).
•	receivables:
•	the increase of $0.263 million in the 2009‑10 estimated outcome from the original budget is mainly due to the flow-on effects of the 2008‑09 audited outcome which resulted in an increase in GST receivables due to higher payments made at the end of the financial year for operating expenses; and
•	the increase of $0.941 million in the 2010‑11 Budget from the 2009‑10 estimated outcome is mainly due to loans provided to ACT Government agencies under the Energy Efficiency Fund initiative.
•	property, plant and equipment:  
–	the increase of $0.399 million in the 2009-10 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to the flow-on effects of the 2008-09 audited outcome and additional capital expenditure in the 2009-10 financial year; and
–	the increase of $3.378 million in the 2010‑11 Budget from the 2009‑10 estimated outcome is mainly due to the capitalisation of costs associated with the construction of the Dickson and Lyneham ponds as part of the ‘Accelerating Replacing Stormwater Drains with Wetlands’ initiative.
•	capital works in progress:
–	the decrease of $6.009 million in the 2009-10 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to delays in capital projects, which has necessitated the deferral of capital expenditure funding; and
–	the increase of $15.843 million in the 2010-11 Budget from the 2009-10 estimated outcome reflects funding re-profiled from 2009-10 and funding for new capital initiatives, partially offset by the capitalisation of completed project construction costs.
•	current payables:  the increase of $1.116 million in the 2009-10 estimated outcome from the original budget reflects an increase in activity levels continuing on from the 2008-09 audited result.
•	current and non current finance leases:  the net increase of $0.184 million in the 2009‑10 estimated outcome from the original budget relates to a higher number of motor vehicles held under finance leases.
•	current employee benefits:
•	the increase of $0.635 million in the 2009‑10 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to a change in accounting policy relating to the calculation of leave entitlements introduced in the 2008‑09 financial year; and
•	the increase of $0.331 million in the 2010‑11 Budget from the 2009‑10 estimated outcome is mainly due to increased permanent staff numbers and revised wage parameters.
•	other current liabilities:
•	the increase of $3.525 million in the 2009‑10 estimated outcome from the original budget relates to the funds accumulated to deliver Commonwealth projects; and
•	the decrease of $2.691 million in 2010‑11 Budget from the 2009‑10 estimated outcome is due to a reduction in revenue received in advance to fund the construction of the Flemington Road Ponds.
•	non current employee benefits:  the increase of $0.103 million in the 2009‑10 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to a change in accounting policy relating to the calculation of leave entitlements.

Notes to the Budget Statements
Significant variations are as follows:
Statement of Income and Expenses on Behalf of the Territory
•	payment for expenses on behalf of Territory:  the increase of $0.318 million in the 2009‑10 estimated outcome from the original budget and the decrease of $0.269 million in the 2010‑11 Budget from the 2009‑10 estimated outcome is largely due to rollovers from 2008‑09 to 2009‑10.
•	taxes, fees and fines:
•	the decrease of $3.414 million in the 2009‑10 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to a reduction in water abstraction charges received from ACTEW; and
•	the increase of $0.554 million in the 2010‑11 Budget from the 2009‑10 estimated outcome is mainly due to increased revenue from the transfer of water resources previously administered by the Commonwealth Government.
•	supplies and services:  the increase of $0.266 million in the 2009‑10 estimated outcome from the original budget and the decrease of $0.248 million in the 2010‑11 Budget from the 2009‑10 estimated outcome largely reflects funds rolled over from 2008-09 for the Office of the Commissioner for Sustainability and the Environment.
•	grants and purchased services:  the increase of $0.050 million in the 2009‑10 estimated outcome from the original budget and the decrease of $0.050 million in the 2010-11 Budget from the 2009‑10 estimated outcome is due to the rollover of funding from 2008‑09 to 2009‑10 for the ACT Environment Grants.
•	transfer expenses:  the decrease of $3.412 million in the 2009‑10 estimated outcome from the original budget is due to a decrease in the revenue received from the water abstraction charge.
