2 2012–13 Budget Measures Statement

Introduction

The 2012−13 Budget Measures Statement describes the expenditure, savings and revenue decisions in the general government sector. It contains the following sections:

Part 1: Revenue measures — reports 2012–13 Budget revenue measures

Part 2: Budget measures by agency — reports 2012–13 Budget expenditure, savings and agency revenue measures by agency; that is, classified according to the operational and administrative structure of the government. Budget measures are shown on a gross basis; that is, expenditure includes amounts funded by revenues received for the specific purpose. The revenue is then disclosed as a revenue offset.

In addition to the new budget measures, a number of measures were approved in the period following the 2011−12 Mid-Year Budget Review. These measures are shown as memorandum items.

Expenditures are recorded as negative (-) items, while savings and revenues are recorded as positive (+) items.

Initiatives and savings are ongoing in nature unless an explicit Cabinet decision is made to the contrary.

Operating revenue — - 300 -1 400 -1 600 -1 300

The government is introducing a stamp duty concession that will apply for the next four years for purchases of off-the-plan apartments in the Adelaide City Council area. This concession further supports the government’s objective of creating a vibrant city for people to live and work and encourages higher density inner-city living in line with the government’s 30-year plan.

The concession will provide a full stamp duty concession for the first two years (capped at stamp duty payable on a $500 000 apartment) and a partial concession for the next two years.

A full stamp duty exemption will be available for all apartments purchased off-the-plan with a market value of $500 000 or less, where the contract is entered into on or after 31 May 2012 and to 30 June 2014. This exemption will save purchasers of eligible off-the-plan apartments up to $21 330. Where an eligible apartment has a market value greater than $500 000, the purchaser will be entitled to a stamp duty concession of $21 330.

For eligible off-the-plan apartment purchase contracts with a market value of $500 000 or less entered into from 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2016, stamp duty will be payable on the notional land value of the apartment and the value of any construction already undertaken — not the full market value of the apartment. Purchasers of eligible apartments where no construction has commenced will therefore pay a level of duty broadly in line with duty paid by purchasers of house and land packages. This concession will save purchasers of eligible off-the-plan apartments up to $15 500.

The land value of an apartment will be set at 35.0 per cent of the market value of the apartment, with the value of construction to reflect the nature of works already performed. Where a contract is entered into from 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2016 to purchase an off-the-plan apartment with a market value greater than $500 000, the purchaser will be entitled to a stamp duty concession of up to $15 500 (adjusted for construction works completed prior to the date the contract is signed).

The stamp duty concession will replace the existing inner city rebate scheme.

Abolish payroll tax exemption for apprentices and trainees



Operating revenue — 27 900 29 300 30 800 32 400

From 1 July 2012, the existing payroll tax exemption for the wages of eligible trainees and apprentices will be abolished and replaced with a grant scheme administered by the Department of Further Education, Employment, Science and Technology (DFEEST).

These grants are intended to ensure that the government’s assistance is targeted to training areas most in need.

Further details on the critical skills investment program to be administered by DFEEST are available in Part 2 ‘Budget measures by agency’.



Defer the abolition of stamp duty on non-real property transfers




The abolition of stamp duty on non-real property transfers will be deferred until budget circumstances allow. The government had previously announced that stamp duty on non-real property transfers would be abolished from 1 July 2013.

The significant downward revision to state revenues, including Goods and Services Tax revenue grants, over the forward estimates has restricted the government’s ability to provide substantial further tax relief at this time.

The government will monitor its fiscal position and will reschedule the abolition of this tax once general purpose revenues have improved to a level that enables tax relief while maintaining a fiscally-responsible budget position.

The government’s decision to defer the abolition of stamp duty on non-real property transfers until budget circumstances allow is consistent with decisions recently taken by the Queensland and Northern Territory governments.

Defer the abolition of stamp duty on non-quoted marketable securities




The abolition of stamp duty on non-quoted marketable securities will be deferred until budget circumstances allow. The government had previously announced that stamp duty on non-quoted marketable securities would be abolished from 1 July 2012.

As with stamp duty on non-real property transfers, the government will monitor its fiscal position and reschedule the abolition of this tax once the government’s general purpose revenues improve to a level that enables the tax relief to be provided in a fiscally-responsible manner.

Memorandum items — taxation measures prior to the 2012–13 Budget

Motor vehicle registration fees — conditional registration for historic, left hand drive and special interest vehicles



Operating revenue 16 27 67 116 169

This initiative varies the criteria for entry into the historic and left-hand drive vehicle conditional registration scheme in order to preserve the historic value of vehicles, introduce uniformity through common entry dates and introduce the special interest vehicle category of street rods into the scheme.

Entry to the Conditional Registration Scheme will be limited to vehicles manufactured before 1 January 1979. This will lead to a minor increase in motor vehicle registration revenue as the number of vehicles entering the scheme and paying the lower conditional registration fees is estimated to reduce compared with the existing entry criteria.

To provide support to the housing market, the first home bonus grant will remain at $8000 for eligible first home contracts entered into before 1 July 2013. The government had previously announced that the bonus grant would be reduced to $4000 from 1 July 2012, and end from 1 July 2013.

The $8000 first home bonus grant is available for eligible first home buyers who purchase a newly constructed home up to $400 000. The grant phases out for properties valued up to $450 000. The first home bonus grant will still end from 1 July 2013.

It is estimated that over 1000 first home buyers will benefit from the $8000 grant in 2012–13.

TVSPs

The 2012–13 Budget includes an additional 1000 full-time equivalent (FTE) reduction target (over three years) recognised in individual agency budgets. This measure represents the estimated cost of the targeted voluntary separation packages (TVSPs) to assist in achieving these savings.



Public sector skills and experience retention entitlement

A skills and experience retention entitlement will be introduced for public sector employees who have completed 15 or more years of effective service.

The new entitlement will be phased in, with up to two working days skills and experience retention entitlement in 2012–13, up to three working days entitlement in 2013–14, and then fixed at a maximum of four working days entitlement from 2014–15 onwards. There will be a transitional entitlement of up to two working days in 2011–12, provided the person was employed as at 1 July 2012.

Unlike other standard leave entitlements, employees will also have the option each year of electing to take a cash payment of $180 per day (indexed by the Consumer Price Index from 2013–14) instead of taking leave days.

The entitlement will be prorated for part-time employees and leave days can be accumulated for up to five years, after which point any unused days will expire.

The skills and experience retention entitlement will not apply to South Australia Police employees who benefit from the Retaining Police Knowledge and Experience entitlement established in the South Australian Policy Enterprise Agreement 2011.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————– 2011–12 2012–13 2013–14 2014–15 2015–16 Estimate Budget Estimate Estimate Estimate ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————– Operating expenses — -956 -1 113 -1 024 -1 021 ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

The 2010–11 Budget included a savings initiative for the transfer of disability client trust management to the Public Trustee from the then Department for Families and Communities.

Under the revised policy arrangements, disability clients receiving a trust account management service through the Department for Communities and Social Inclusion (DCSI) as at 1 April 2011 will continue to receive this service until such time as they no longer require it. The service will also be available to those disability clients receiving a trust account management service through DCSI as at 20 September 2010 who transferred to another administrator.

As a consequence the savings from this initiative will no longer be achieved. The disability client trust management service operated by DCSI will not be available to new clients who entered the system after 1 April 2011.

Disability community visitors scheme



This initiative, to be phased in over two years from 2012–13, will provide people with a disability with visiting, advocacy and inspection services in order to promote and protect their rights and wellbeing.

This will be achieved through the establishment of an expanded and integrated independent mental health and disability community visitors scheme to visit clients in over 400 disability accommodation settings managed or subsidised by the state government.

Disability housing construction



The initiative provides $61.5 million over four years in capital grant funding to the South Australian Housing Trust for the construction of new community based disability housing.



Disability sector support



The government is transitioning to individualised funding arrangements for people with disabilities. This is consistent with the proposed National Disability Insurance Scheme. This change will have a major impact on the way not-for-profit organisations receive funding for the provision of disability services as individuals choose where their funding is best spent.

This initiative provides $1.0 million over two years to support not-for-profit organisations to undertake business planning in preparation for the transition from the current block funding arrangements to a more competitive disability services environment.

Disability services additional support

This initiative provides additional funding increasing to $44.8 million by 2015–16 for people with a disability and their carers. The additional support will assist disability clients requiring a range of accommodation support, community support, community access and respite services for carers. This additional support builds on growth funding provided for disability services in the 2011–12 Budget.

The initiative will provide $24.1 million in capital expenditure over four years for the redevelopment of the Parks Community Centre facilities. The works will include:

replacing the 25 metre indoor pool and constructing an indoor children’s pool and changing facilities

building a main entry, café and public plaza

refurbishing the two storey multi-purpose building and two basketball courts

refurbishing the two theatres

refurbishing and extending the children’s centre building

building two outdoor soccer pitches

building a new playground

refurbishing existing and constructing additional car parking

undertaking landscaping works.

There is also additional expenditure for the relocation costs of government agencies, including further investing expenditure of $4.6 million in 2013–14.

The investing expenditure is partially offset by savings in the ongoing operating costs for the redeveloped facilities.

The reduction in operating revenue is due to a reduction in rent received from non-government tenants.

A portion of the site will be sold to be used for additional residential housing.



Strathmont Centre



This initiative provides $3.0 million per annum (indexed) in ongoing operating funding, phased in from 2013–14, along with transition and supported accommodation construction costs to transition all remaining residents currently accommodated at the Strathmont Centre into community living arrangements.

The construction of the community living accommodation will be managed by the South Australian Housing Trust through the provision of a $13.5 million capital grant ($3.9 million in 2012–13, $7.3 million in 2013–14 and $2.2 million in 2014–15).

The surplus land at Strathmont will be sold. Other existing services provided from the Strathmont site will remain.

This revenue measure is for the phased introduction of supported accommodation fee harmonisation measures commencing in 2013–14.

It is proposed to reduce the number of fees in the existing fee structure to provide more equitable fee arrangements across the state. There are currently a range of different fee structures for similar services over different sites. This initiative will streamline fees down to three categories.

Utilities budgeting support



This initiative provides $1.0 million per annum (indexed) to assist lower income households reduce financial hardship associated with rising utilities cost pressures.

This will include the introduction of a utilities literacy program which will build the capacity of lower income individuals and families to prevent further financial difficulties through improved financial management and energy efficiency practices.

The existing Emergency Electricity Payment Scheme which provides once-off financial assistance to avoid disconnection will also be reviewed and expanded to assist more families.

This initiative provides $2.4 million in 2012–13 for revised arrangements associated with the Facilities Management Efficiencies savings initiative announced in the 2010–11 Budget. The initiative included ongoing savings from the extension of across government facilities management arrangements to housing maintenance.

Following a business case to ascertain the best value for money provision of housing maintenance, the savings will now be realised through the development and procurement of a multi-trade contractor model by the South Australian Housing Trust. To allow sufficient time for the procurement process and subsequent transition, new arrangements will now be in place from 1 July 2013 rather than 1 July 2012.

Safety of frontline volunteers



This initiative provides $630 000 per annum (indexed) from 2012–13 for additional training for the South Australian Country Fire Service (CFS) and South Australian State Emergency Service (SES) volunteers.

The additional resources will provide six training officers who will cover the six CFS and four SES regions to deliver increased training and reduce the training delivery burden on CFS and SES volunteers.

This will help ensure that the state’s 18 000 volunteers are provided with nationally endorsed training to assist in responding to emergencies and maintaining volunteers’ safety.





National Emergency Warning System



This initiative provides $1.7 million over four years to meet the ongoing costs of supporting enhancements to the National Emergency Warning System (Emergency Alert).

The system enhancements will enable location based emergency warning messages to be sent to mobile phones located within an affected area during an emergency. The current Emergency Alert system sends emergency warning messages to mobile phones based on the phone’s billing location, not its actual location.

Savings from the abolition of the payroll tax exemption for apprentices and trainees will be redirected to better target support for training in areas of critical skills.

Registered group training organisations will be assisted through grants to support the training of apprentices and trainees. This approach recognises the higher completion rates that group training organisations achieve and the key support they provide to small to medium size enterprises, to which they hire apprentices and trainees.

Other organisations that employ apprentices and trainees who complete their training in a priority skill area will receive a completion bonus.

The state was to provide half of the investment ($2.25 million) with a loan from Low Carbon Australia (established by the Commonwealth Government) proposed to fund the other half of the investment. This project will now not proceed.

A more detailed assessment arising from changes in circumstances determined that the payback period for the investment is no longer viable and the business case for the project can no longer be justified.

This initiative provides additional resources of $358 000 to extend the wind down period for Playford Capital Pty Ltd by 12 months.

Playford Capital was established to provide seed capital and attract co-investment into innovation technology ventures. As trustee of the PC IIFF Trust, Playford Capital is also responsible for managing the Innovation Investment Follow-on Fund on behalf of the Commonwealth.

Playford Capital has ceased making new investments and has been working with the existing portfolio of companies with the aim of achieving exits by the end of 2012.

An independent review of Playford Capital’s investment portfolio found that the current target end date of 31 December 2012 is not achievable if Playford Capital is to meet all of its contractual obligations to the Commonwealth. The review recommended extending the wind down date by 12 months, to 31 December 2013.

The Government of South Australia will ensure that any investments remaining in the PC IIFF Trust after the expiry of the extended wind down date will be professionally managed and that approval for any changes to the management arrangements for the PC IIFF Trust will be sought from the Commonwealth Government.

The Department for Health and Ageing is required to offset any ongoing impacts of the 2011–12 overspend and deliver its aggregate savings by 2014–15.

The funding provided in 2011–12 is to offset the projected overspends in prison health, mental health, the post-acute care program as well as unachieved revenue and savings targets.

The funding provided in 2012–13 and 2013–14 provides the department a more even annual build up of savings to enable it to achieve that outcome. The annual growth in savings target (prior to the addition of the increased efficiency dividend and full-time equivalent reduction announced in this budget) is now $100.0 million in 2012–13, $150.3 million in 2013–14, $53.4 million in 2014–15 and $8.0 million in 2015–16.

The new Office for Business Review and Implementation has been established in the department to drive the achievement of savings and an improved overall budget result.

The enterprise system for medical imaging will deliver an integrated system that distributes and stores medical imaging studies and reports for use by clinicians across the health system.

This initiative will require $18.7 million of investing expenditure over three years, which will be partially offset by $11.8 million of existing annual program expenditure (from the Bio-Medical Equipment and Special Purposes Fund programs) and the use of $6.0 million from the National Partnership on Hospital and Health Workforce Reform funding.

This initiative will also require $11.3 million of operating expenditure to support the existing system until the new system is operational in 2013–14 and train users. This will be partially offset by the existing operating budget of $10.0 million over two years and Commonwealth funding for the implementation of activity based funding ($1.3 million in 2011–12).

The new system will result in a net reduction of $0.5 million in operating costs from 2013–14.

This initiative provides $110.0 million in 2012–13 for the grade separation of the Australian Rail Track Corporation’s interstate rail line and the metropolitan rail line at Goodwood. Undertaking the works in 2012–13 coincides with the closure of the Noarlunga line for upgrade and electrification works. This is the first stage of the joint state and Commonwealth Government funded $443.0 million upgrade of the Goodwood Rail Junction and Torrens Rail Junction.

The grade separation of the interstate freight transport line from the line used for metropolitan passenger services will remove the need for trains on either track to stop while those on the other line pass through the junctions. The project will speed up the movement of freight trains through Adelaide, improve the reliability of passenger services and boost national productivity.

The Commonwealth Government has allocated $232.1 million to the two rail junctions. The state is required to fund the balance of the project. The Commonwealth’s contribution will be received in 2015–16.

This initiative provides savings of $372.9 million over five years from the suspension of the electrification of the Gawler and Outer Harbor rail lines.

The electrification of the Adelaide to Noarlunga rail line (including the Tonsley line) will proceed, along with the extension and electrification of the rail line from Noarlunga to Seaford. The rail re-sleepering works will continue as planned on all rail lines.

The train protection system will be rolled out across the rail network as the system is electrified. The train protection system reduces the likelihood of a train collision or derailment due to excessive speed or the failure of a driver to observe a signal or speed restriction. This will commence with the installation of the protection system on the electrified Adelaide to Seaford line.

The construction of a new rail station at St Clair and the completion of the Elizabeth turnback will continue as planned. The turnback will support increased frequency of rail services between Adelaide and the Elizabeth Station.

Overall, the network train capacity will be increased by around 25 per cent to service the Seaford extension and provide additional capacity and frequency across the rail system. The rail fleet will be a mixture of existing diesel and new electric rail cars.

There is a reduction in operating expenditure of over $12 million per annum due to the reduced scope of the upgrade.

This initiative varies the criteria for entry into the historic and left-hand drive vehicle conditional registration scheme in order to preserve the historic value of vehicles, introduce uniformity through common entry dates and introduce the special interest vehicle category of street rods into the scheme.

Entry to the conditional registration scheme will be limited to vehicles manufactured before 1 January 1979. This will lead to a minor increase in motor vehicle registration revenue as the number of vehicles entering the scheme and paying the lower conditional registration fees is estimated to reduce compared with the existing entry criteria.

The additional expenditure is for one full-time equivalent ongoing to assist to manage, operate and audit the scheme.

One-off water security rebate to residential drinking water customers



This initiative provides $45.7 million in 2012–13 for the application of a once-off water security rebate to SA Water customers from 1 January 2013 (residential drinking water bills). This adjustment is in recognition of significant water price increases necessary to deliver water security infrastructure.

A two tier rebate will be applied, being $45.00 for accounts that had drinking water usage of less than or equal to 120 kilolitres in the prior year and $75.00 for accounts that had drinking water usage of more than 120 kilolitres in the prior year.

Properties, such as retirement villages and blocks of flats, that have multiple residences on a single land title will automatically receive a minimum rebate of $45.00 and an additional $45.00 for each 120 kilolitres billed above 120 kilolitres in the prior year.

Vacant residential allotments that record no water usage in the prior year will not receive the water security rebate. Country Lands accounts will also not receive the water security rebate. These properties are outside urban areas, are typically associated with rural production and accordingly do not attract residential pricing.

Included as part of this initiative, SA Water will receive a community service obligation payment of $600 000 for its implementation and administration costs.
