Key Issues
· The provision of record total infrastructure funding of nearly $5 billion in the 2020-21 Budget demonstrates the Government’s continuing commitment to driving the State’s economic prosperity through investment in next generation infrastructure, while simultaneously supporting the development of stronger building, construction and related trades industries.
· The 2020-21 Budget also reflects the decisive action taken by the Government in response to the COVID‑19 pandemic, with many of the projects reflected in this Budget announced specifically to support the rebuilding of the economy.
· In the General Government Sector, there is record infrastructure investment over the 2020-21 Budget and Forward Estimates of $3.9 billion which includes funding for roads and bridges ($2.4 billion); hospitals and health ($369.6 million); human services and housing ($296.8 million); schools, education and skills ($218.1 million); law and order ($275.4 million); tourism, recreation and cultural assets ($198.1 million); and ICT to support service delivery ($135.4 million).
· The Budget also includes a further $70 million that has been provided to support the maintenance of existing infrastructure through the Government’s Public Building Maintenance Program, and $120.9 million, over the 2020-21 Budget and Forward Estimates, for the first four years of the Tasmanian Government Radio Network project that will significantly improve emergency communications.
· In addition to the record investment within the General Government Sector, the 2020-21 Budget supports increased investment by government businesses, with $776.9 million in equity funding allocated specifically for infrastructure investments. This includes funding for Tasmanian Irrigation to support Tranche 3 irrigation projects and additional funding to the Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority for a new visitor centre at the Cascades Female Factory.
· To support the State’s economic recovery, the 2020-21 Budget commits almost $1 billion over the next two years for next generation roads and bridges infrastructure such as the Sorell and Midway Point Causeways (part of the South East Traffic Solution project), the new Bridgewater Bridge, and the Midland, West Tamar and Bass Highway upgrades.
· The 2020-21 Budget and Forward Estimates also includes $100 million to deliver the Community Housing Growth Program, providing up to 1 000 new social housing dwellings. This investment will support Tasmania’s economic recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and deliver secure accommodation for the Tasmanians who need it most.
The 2021-21 Budget and Forward Estimates includes a record investment of $3.9 billion in community infrastructure projects, to be delivered by Government agencies, including:
· roads and bridges ($2.4 billion);
· hospitals and health ($369.6 million);
· human services and housing ($296.8 million);
· law and order ($275.4 million);
· schools, education and skills ($218.1 million);
· tourism, recreation and culture ($198.1 million);
· ICT to support service delivery ($135.4 million); and
· other infrastructure ($21.2 million).
In addition to State-only funded projects, the agency infrastructure program also includes funding for co‑funded (Australian and State Government) roads, health and tourism related projects. This includes major roads projects such as the duplication of the Sorell and Midway Causeways, Tasman Bridge upgrades and upgrades to the Bass Highway between Deloraine and Devonport; as well as funding for a number of new health projects, and projects in our National Parks and Reserves.
The 2020-21 Budget and Forward Estimates also includes infrastructure investment outside of the General Government Sector through government businesses and TasWater, supported by Government equity contributions totalling $776.9 million.
The record infrastructure investment program of nearly $5 billion, represents the combined total of the General Government Sector as well as the support the budget provides directly towards government businesses and TasWater infrastructure investment, delivered over the 2020‑21 Budget and Forward Estimates. This presents a forward pipeline of substantial works that can be relied on by Tasmanian businesses and industry and that will support the State’s recovery from the COVID‑19 pandemic. The infrastructure investment program will support economic activity and jobs across the State while providing Tasmania with next generation infrastructure.

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 Infrastructure Investment.
2. Due to the timing of the finalisation of the 2020-21 Budget, actual project expenditure, for 2019-20, may vary from final agency financial information.
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 2020‑21 Budget does, however, include equity contributions provided through the General Government Sector to directly support Metro Tasmania Pty Ltd, the Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority, Tasmanian Irrigation Pty Ltd, Tasmanian Railway Pty Ltd, Tasracing Pty Ltd and TT-Line Company Pty Ltd, to undertake major infrastructure projects. 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 2020‑21 Budget and Forward Estimates, the total equity funding allocated to infrastructure investment is $776.9 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 $4.7 billion.

Notes:
1. The total commitment for Tranche 3 irrigation projects is $185 million. Additional Australian Government funding of $20 million will be provided in 2024‑25 taking total Australian Government funding to $100 million.
2. Funding to Tasmanian Railway Pty Ltd in 2020‑21 does not include an equity transfer of $5.1 million from Sustainable Timber Tasmania.
3. In addition to the equity contributions to TasWater detailed in this table, the Government is also providing additional funding relating to the upgrade of Launceston’s combined stormwater and sewerage system.
The 2020‑21 Budget reflects equity contributions to Metro Tasmania Pty Ltd for the procurement of a single ticketing system ($7.4 million over four years from 2020-21) and the Derwent River Ferry Service ($500 000 per annum over three years commencing in 2023‑24).
PAHSMA will receive $5 million in 2020‑21 for a new visitor centre for the Cascades Female Factory at South Hobart, which includes a $3 million State contribution announced as part of the Government’s Construction Blitz, and a $2 million Australian Government contribution.
The 2020‑21 Budget includes State equity contributions to Tasmanian Irrigation Pty Ltd to support Tranche 3 irrigation projects, including $15 million over two years from 2020‑21 to prioritise the Don Irrigation Scheme. This also includes $100 million committed to Tranche 3 by the Australian Government over five years commencing in 2020‑21. Of this funding, $80 million will be provided across the Budget and Forward Estimates period, with the remaining $20 million to be provided in 2024‑25.
Funding of $5.4 million over three years, from 2020‑21, is also included to support the Energy on Farms initiatives announced in the 2018-19 Budget.
The 2020-21 Budget includes $208.8 million in equity contributions from the State and Australian Governments over the Budget and Forward Estimates period to support Tranche 2 and Tranche 3 of the Tasmanian Freight Rail Revitalisation Program. This funding supports the ongoing remediation of Tasmania’s Freight Rail Network.
The Government has also committed $5.1 million in 2020-21 to Tasmanian Railway Pty Ltd for the Forestry Industry Supply Chain and Infrastructure Package to modernise key elements of the forestry supply chain and infrastructure. This package is being funded through a transfer of equity from Sustainable Timber Tasmania.
Funding totalling $300 million will be provided to TasWater, over 10 years, from 2018-19 (contributions of $20 million were made in both January 2019 and January 2020). This funding supports TasWater’s accelerated infrastructure program and provides support to enable the decommissioning of TasWater’s Macquarie Point wastewater treatment plant. Funding of $160 million is reflected in 2020-21 and over the Forward Estimates period.
The 2020‑21 Budget reflects a State equity contribution of $8 million over two years ($2 million in 2020‑21 and $6 million in 2021-22) to Tasracing Pty Ltd for racing infrastructure in the North West of the State.
The Government remains committed to replacing the Spirit of Tasmania vessels. The Government has established a Vessel Replacement Taskforce to investigate options for greater involvement by Australian and Tasmanian businesses in the replacement of the vessels.
The Budget currently assumes that the full balance of the Vessel Replacement Fund of $218.4 million will be withdrawn in 2022‑23 and provided to TT-Line as an equity contribution to support the acquisition of new vessels.
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 2020-21 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, grant payments and other supplies and consumables.
Table 6.5 provides a reconciliation between the two measures.
