Key Issues · The 2019‑20 Budget continues the Government’s significant investment in infrastructure, with a record $2.8 billion in funding committed over the Budget and Forward Estimates period to agency projects across the State. · Infrastructure investment allocated over the 2019‑20 Budget and Forward Estimates period in the General Government Sector includes funding for roads and bridges ($1.6 billion); hospitals and health ($352.6 million); human services and housing ($212.5 million); schools, education and skills ($194 million); and law and order ($170.6 million). · In addition, the 2019‑20 Budget supports a significant level of investment outside the General Government Sector, with $792 million in equity contributions specifically for infrastructure investment to be undertaken by government businesses (together with TasWater) in 2019‑20 and across the Forward Estimates period. This brings the Government’s total investment in infrastructure in Tasmania over the 2019‑20 Budget and Forward Estimates period to a record and unprecedented total of $3.6 billion. · Significant investment through equity contributions will support essential statewide infrastructure programs including: the Tasmanian Rail Revitalisation Program; the Tasmanian Irrigation Scheme; TasWater infrastructure investment programs; and the replacement of two new TT‑Line vessels. · The 2019‑20 Budget provides over $90 million to deliver Stage 2 of the Royal Hobart Hospital Redevelopment, including $63 million in new funding. This brings the total funding allocated to the Royal Hobart Hospital Redevelopment over the 2019‑20 Budget and Forward Estimates period to $172.8 million. · Population growth and greater economic activity are placing pressure on the existing road network. The Government has committed an additional $189.5 million over the 2019‑20 Budget and Forward Estimates period towards new projects that will ease congestion and improve safety. · The level of infrastructure investment allocated in the 2019‑20 Budget remains well 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. |
Over the 2019‑20 Budget and Forward Estimates period, the Government will invest $2.8 billion through Government agencies in vital community infrastructure projects, including:
· roads and bridges ($1.6 billion);
· hospitals and health ($352.6 million);
· human services and housing ($212.5 million);
· schools, education and skills ($194 million);
· law and order ($170.6 million);
· tourism, recreation and culture ($151.7 million);
· ICT to support service delivery ($53.3 million); and
· other infrastructure ($13 million).
The record agency infrastructure investment of $2.8 billion over a four year period is significantly above long‑term historical infrastructure investment levels, and maintains the Government’s continued focus on strategic investment to support the State’s economic growth.
The agency infrastructure investment program includes State funding for co‑funded (Australian and State Government) roads projects under the new National Partnership Agreement for Land Transport Infrastructure Projects, including the Roads of Strategic Importance projects and the new Urban Congestion Fund.
It is essential that the Government invests in projects that will contribute to the improved delivery of Government services in Tasmania, and which will continue to support the State’s growing economy and population. 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.
Important infrastructure investment outside of the General Government Sector is also planned by government businesses and TasWater, supported by State Government equity investment of nearly $800 million over the Budget and Forward Estimates period.
The Government’s planned infrastructure program presents a significant forward pipeline of infrastructure investment that can be relied upon by Tasmanian businesses and industry. It will continue to support economic activity and jobs growth across the State. This will be enhanced by the release of the State’s first 30‑year Infrastructure Strategy this year. The Government will continue to work with agencies, government businesses and industry to manage the roll‑out of this record level of infrastructure investment.
Chart 6.1 details agency infrastructure investment from 2013‑14 to 2018‑19 and the 2019‑20 Budget and Forward Estimates.
Table 6.1 details infrastructure investment expenditure within the General Government Sector by agency.

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 6.5 provides a reconciliation of Purchases of Non‑Financial Assets to Total Infrastructure Expenditure.
2. Estimated Outcome expenditure for some agencies, when compared with the 2018‑19 Original Budget, may reflect the expenditure of funding carried forward from previous years and additional funding provided for specific projects.
This chapter primarily 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 as 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 2019‑20 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 and TT‑Line Company Pty Ltd, to undertake major infrastructure works. Support is also provided to Tasmanian Water and Sewerage Corporation Pty Ltd.
All equity contributions to these entities are made through Finance‑General.
In the 2019‑20 Budget and Forward Estimates, the total equity funding allocated to infrastructure investment is $792 million. When combined with the General Government Sector agency infrastructure funding, this takes the total investment by the State and Australian Governments in infrastructure over this period to $3.6 billion.

The 2019‑20 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 from 2019‑20), and $4.5 million in 2019‑20 for the Metro Bus Infrastructure capital initiative.
The 2019‑20 Budget reflects State equity contributions to Tasmanian Irrigation Pty Ltd for Tranche 3 irrigation projects of $70 million over four years from 2019‑20, and support for on farm energy initiatives as announced in the 2018‑19 Budget.
In addition, the Australian Government has committed $100 million towards the Tasmanian Irrigation Scheme Tranche 3.
The Tasmanian Rail Revitalisation Program is a program to continue to remediate Tasmania’s Freight Rail Network.
As part of the 2017‑18 Budget, the State Government committed funding of $59.8 million over four years, commencing in 2019‑20 to facilitate Tranche 2 of the Program. In its 2018‑19 Budget, the Australian Government also reflected a matching contribution of $59.8 million.
The State and Australian Governments have each committed a further $68 million towards Tranche 3 of this program, commencing in 2021‑22.
In addition, the State will contribute $575 000 to TasRail, towards the construction of a weighbridge at Parattah in 2019‑20.
Funding totalling $300 million will be provided to TasWater over 10 years from 2018-19, representing an increase of $100 million in the 2019-20 Budget. An initial contribution of $20 million was made in January 2019. This funding will allow TasWater to implement its accelerated infrastructure program, as well as provide support for major infrastructure projects including the decommissioning of TasWater’s Macquarie Point wastewater treatment plant, the Launceston combined sewerage and stormwater system improvements and the Freycinet Peninsula wastewater system. Funding of $180 million is reflected in 2019‑20 and over the Forward Estimates period.
TT‑Line Company Pty Ltd has signed contracts for the construction of two new vessels, with an estimated total cost of $600 million, to replace the current Spirit of Tasmania vessels. The design specifications provide for 212 metre long vessels that will accommodate 1 800 passengers and up to 600 passenger vehicles.
Table 6.3 provides infrastructure investment project details for the General Government Sector by agency, including projects which are continuing from previous Budget years and new infrastructure projects that have been funded by the Government in the 2019‑20 Budget.

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 6.5 provides a reconciliation between the two measures.
