Key Issues |
|
· The 2018‑19 Budget commits $2.6 billion in funding over the Budget and Forward Estimates period to drive infrastructure development across Tasmania, with a further $1.1 billion in new infrastructure funding included in this Budget. This significantly exceeds the Government’s commitment to increase infrastructure expenditure by 20 per cent compared to the long-term expenditure average. |
|
· The Government maintains a strong focus on ensuring that infrastructure investment within Tasmania is directed towards projects that: - meet the demands of population and economic growth; - increase safety for the community; - harness the existing strengths of the Tasmanian economy; - stimulate economic activity and jobs growth across all areas of the State; and - lead to an increase in the efficiency of service delivery across both the private and public sectors. |
|
· The additional $1.1 billion in new infrastructure investment included in this Budget primarily reflects the implementation of the Government’s 2018 State election commitments. These projects reflect the Government’s policy priority areas of health, education, affordable housing and law and order. |
|
· Significant infrastructure investment reflected in the 2018-19 Budget and Forward Estimates includes: - roads and bridges ($1.1 billion); - hospitals and health ($475.6 million); - human services and housing ($205.3 million); - schools and education ($192.2 million); and - law and order ($169.7 million). |
|
· The level of infrastructure investment reflected in the 2018‑19 Budget is above long-term historical infrastructure investment levels. As a result, the Government continues to achieve its infrastructure related Fiscal Strategy Action which requires that the level of investment in non-financial assets exceeds the value of depreciation over the Budget and Forward Estimates period. |
Overview
Over the 2018‑19 Budget and Forward Estimates period, the Government will invest $2.6 billion in vital community infrastructure projects, including:
· roads and bridges ($1.1 billion);
· hospitals and health ($475.6 million);
· human services and housing ($205.3 million);
· schools and education ($192.2 million);
· law and order ($169.7 million);
· tourism, recreation and culture ($142.2 million);
· ICT to support service delivery ($54.2 million); and
· other infrastructure ($21 million).
The record investment of $2.6 billion in infrastructure, over a four year period, is significant and above long‑term historical infrastructure investment levels. Most importantly, this level of investment is $1 billion above the infrastructure investment of $1.6 billion that the Government budgeted for in the 2014-15 Budget. This increase has been made possible due to the Government’s commitment to strong fiscal management and the significant improvement in the Budget position.
The Government will work with agencies to manage the roll-out of this record level of infrastructure investment. The Government’s infrastructure program represents a significant forward pipeline of infrastructure investment that can be relied upon by Tasmanian businesses and industry and that will stimulate economic activity and jobs growth across the State. The pipeline includes major projects such as the $576 million new Bridgewater Bridge and the $270 million new Northern Prison.
Important infrastructure investment outside of the General Government Sector is also planned by Government businesses. There are also a number of potential projects of nationwide significance being progressed by the State’s electricity businesses, in particular a second electricity interconnector between Victoria and Tasmania and the Battery of the Nation project. As these projects progress, it means billions of dollars in new infrastructure investment in Tasmania over the next decade.
In order to manage this unprecedented infrastructure investment, the Government will this year:
· develop a 30-year Infrastructure Strategy;
· deliver a 10-year Infrastructure Pipeline detailing the major Government infrastructure projects and spending proposed across inner budget agencies, Government Business Enterprises and State-owned Corporations; and
· establish a construction industry roundtable to ensure that the commercial sector, along with local government, work collaboratively with the State Government to maximise the opportunity and to deliver, efficiently and effectively, the record levels of investment occurring now and, importantly, into the future. The construction industry roundtable will deliver a whole-of-sector view on the short, medium and long‑term goals that need to be achieved to ensure that the capacity and capability of the sector is well placed to deliver the forecast record levels of infrastructure investment.
The record $2.6 billion General Government Sector infrastructure investment program includes State funding for co‑funded (Australian and State Government) roads projects that is reflected in the Government’s Roads for Our Future Program. In accordance with established Budget management practice, a provision of $180 million has been included for additional Australian Government roads funding (pending finalisation of the next five year agreement). This is based on Australian Government roads funding over recent years and provides a more accurate estimate of the likely level of infrastructure expenditure that will occur over the Forward Estimates period.
It is essential that a strong Budget position is maintained in order to facilitate the funding of infrastructure investment on a sustainable basis. The infrastructure program has been formulated having regard to the Government’s Fiscal Principles contained in its Fiscal Strategy and will deliver on Strategic Action 5, namely, infrastructure investment will maintain existing assets, respond to economic and population growth and reflect the changing needs of the community.
Chart 6.1 outlines the infrastructure investment from 2012‑13 to 2017‑18 and the 2018‑19 Budget and Forward Estimates. The chart includes the provision for Estimated Future Australian Government Roads Funding.

Notes:
1. This Table includes expenditure (both Purchases of Non‑Financial Assets and associated expenses) for all infrastructure projects, but does not include minor asset purchases for non‑infrastructure projects. For these reasons, the Table is not equivalent to the Purchases of Non‑Financial Assets presented in chapter 4 of this Budget Paper. Table 6.4 provides a reconciliation of Purchases of Non‑Financial Assets to Total Infrastructure Expenditure.
2. Estimated Outcome expenditure for some agencies, when compared with the 2017-18 Original Budget, may reflect the expenditure of funding carried forward from previous years and additional funding provided throughout the year for specific projects.
3. The existing five year roads funding agreement with the Australian Government expires at the end of 2018‑19. Based on Australian Government roads funding over recent years, an Estimated Future Australian Government Roads Funding provision of $60 million has been included in 2019‑20, 2020-21 and 2021-22 to provide a more accurate estimate of the likely level of infrastructure expenditure that will occur over the Forward Estimates period.
Table 6.2 provides infrastructure investment project details by agency, including projects which are continuing from a previous Budget year and new infrastructure projects that have been funded by the Government in the 2018‑19 Budget. Completion dates reflect the current best estimates.

Notes:
1. This Table does not include irrigation, water and sewerage or rail related expenditure, as this type of expenditure is in the form of grants or equity injections to entities outside of the General Government Sector and the resulting infrastructure is not held within the General Government Sector.

3. More details on the Housing Program are provided in the Department of Communities Tasmania chapter in Government Services Budget Paper No 2.
4. The Royal Hobart Hospital Redevelopment is funded by both the State and Australian Government. In respect of the RHH, practical completion of K‑Block is anticipated in mid-2019. Final payments occur in 2019-20 following commissioning. More details are provided in the Department of Health chapter in Government Services Budget Paper No 2.
5. This reflects new State Government funding of $35 million, of which $21 million has been allocated over the 2018‑19 Budget and Forward Estimates period.

Notes:
1. These projects include both State and Australian Government funding.
2. Funding for these projects was provided as part of the State Government’s 2014 election commitment of $110 million for the road funding package which included the co-contribution and Roads for Our Future Projects.
3. The State Government’s contribution to the Midland Highway has now been reflected in the State Road Upgrades - Southern Region and the State Road Upgrades - Northern Region.
4. Funding for these projects is part of the State Government’s 2018 election commitments.
5. The Estimated Total Cost for this item reflects funding beyond the 2018‑19 Budget and Forward Estimates period.
6. The completion date for this project is yet to be finalised.
7. The Australian Government committed funding for a number of its 2016 election commitments that relate specifically to Local Government roads. This funding will be provided to the relevant council via the State Government.
8. This allocation includes Bass Highway road safety improvements.
9. Ongoing funding for this item is contingent on the finalisation of a new five-year roads funding agreement with the Australian Government.
10. The Australian Government has advised that the initial focus of this Program will be the Bass Highway corridor.
Reconciliation between Infrastructure Investment and Purchases of Non‑Financial Assets
Purchases of Non‑Financial Assets is an accounting classification under the Australian Accounting Standards. It appears on the Income Statement and Cash Flow Statement and reflects purchases of non‑financial assets such as land, buildings, plant and equipment, infrastructure and intangible assets. While the majority of the Purchases of Non‑Financial Assets is comprised of Infrastructure Investment projects, there is a portion of Purchases of Non‑Financial Assets expenditure that is not included in this chapter. Such items include Budget allocations for:
· the Government’s fleet management services;
· ambulance, surgical and medical equipment;
· computer software; and
· other smaller capital items.
Conversely, Infrastructure Investment projects can include allocations of expenditure which are not classified as Purchases of Non‑Financial Assets under the Australian Accounting Standards, but are directly related to infrastructure projects. This expenditure can include items such as employee entitlements, infrastructure maintenance, Australian Government Loan Repayments and other supplies and consumables.
Table 6.4 provides a reconciliation between the two measures.

2. These totals differ to the totals in Table 6.2 due to the unallocated provision for Australian Government roads funding that is not included in that table.
Infrastructure Investment outside of the General Government Sector
This chapter provides information on infrastructure investment in the General Government Sector. Infrastructure investment undertaken by Government Business Enterprises or State‑owned Companies is outside of the General Government Sector and is therefore not included in the definition of infrastructure investment for the purpose of this chapter. Information on infrastructure investment undertaken by these entities can be found in entity annual reports and on entity websites.
The 2018‑19 Budget does, however, include equity and other contributions provided through the General Government Sector to Metro Tasmania Pty Ltd, Tasmanian Irrigation Pty Ltd, Tasmanian Railway Pty Ltd, Tasmanian Water and Sewerage Corporation Pty Ltd and TT-Line Company Pty Ltd to undertake major infrastructure works.
All equity contributions to these entities are made through Finance-General.
Metro Tasmania Pty Ltd
The 2018-19 Budget reflects equity contributions to Metro Tasmania Pty Ltd for the capital component of the Derwent River ferry service establishment ($500 000 per annum over three years from 2019-20) and investment in a single ticketing system ($7.5 million over four years).
This is in addition to equity contributions of $4.5 million in 2018-19 and 2019-20 to implement a Metro Bus Infrastructure capital initiative, as announced in the 2016-17 Budget.
Tasmanian Irrigation Pty Ltd
The 2018-19 Budget reflects equity contributions to Tasmanian Irrigation Pty Ltd for Tranche Three irrigation projects ($70 million over four years from 2019-20) in order to double the amount of water available through Tasmanian Irrigation Schemes by 2025. Additional equity contributions are also provided for on farm energy initiatives ($5.5 million over three years from 2018-19).
This is in addition to equity contributions of $10 million in 2018-19 for Tranche Two irrigations projects, as announced in the 2017-18 Budget.
Tasmanian Railway Pty Ltd
The Tasmanian Rail Revitalisation Program is a program to continue to remediate Tasmania’s Freight Rail Network. As part of their respective 2015‑16 Budgets, the Tasmanian and Australian Governments each committed $59.8 million to complete Tranche One of the Program over four years.
As part of the 2017-18 Budget, the Tasmanian Government committed additional funding of $59.8 million over four years, commencing in 2019‑20, in order to facilitate Tranche Two of the Program. In its 2018‑19 Budget, the Australian Government reflected a matching contribution of $59.8 million towards the second Tranche of this Program.
The Tasmanian Government contribution to the Tasmanian Rail Revitalisation Program was previously reflected as grant payments through the Department of State Growth. For consistency, these payments have been reclassified, and will be made as equity contributions through Finance-General.
Tasmanian Water and Sewerage Corporation Pty Ltd
The 2018-19 Budget reflects contributions of $20 million per annum over ten years, commencing in 2018‑19, to the Tasmanian Water and Sewerage Corporation Pty Ltd to implement an accelerated infrastructure investment program.
TT-Line Company Tasmania Pty Ltd
TT‑Line Company Pty Ltd has recently signed contracts for the construction of two new ships to replace the current Spirit of Tasmania vessels. The design specifications provide for the 212 metre long vessels that will accommodate 1 800 passengers and up to 600 passenger vehicles. The company expects that the new vessels will commence operations in 2021.
