3. Non-government contributions

Industry contributions for funding of the Forest Practices Board
1,111
MAIB Road Safety Task Force funding
720
4. Departmental revenue not paid into the Consolidated Fund
The major component of additional revenue related to registration related fees collected on behalf of external bodies being in excess of budget estimates by approximately $17.800m.
5. Output Group 1 Transport Policy Advice and Planning
Additional expenditure represents additional funds of $280,000 as a result of a review of expenditure of costs across the Department and $291,000 for Abt Railway contractor costs.
6. Output Group 2 Land Transport Safety Programs
Under-expenditure in this Output Group reflects a reduction of $104,000 as a result of a review of costs across the Department, $ 1.400 million transferred to Output Group 3 due to structural changes in the Traffic Management Branch Outputs and a change to the method of distributing MAIB Road Safety Task Force funding which no longer required the Department to receive the Department of Police and Public Safety's portion of the funding directly from the MAIB and then transfer the funds.
7. Output Group 3 Provision of Transport Services and Infrastructure
Over-expenditure in this Output Group was a result of a reduction of $227,000 as a result of a review of costs across the Department offset by $1.4 million transferred from Output Group 2 due to a structural change in the Traffic Management Branch Outputs.
8. Output Group 4 Energy Advisory and Regulatory Services
Over-expenditure relates to additional funds of $68,000 as a result of a review of costs across the Department and expenditure of $35,000 on the Tasmanian Gas Project which was reimbursed by the Department of State Development.
9. Output Group 5 Workplace Standards

11. Output Group 7 Support for Minister in Infrastructure Development and Business Management
Over-expenditure relates to the cost of staging the 2001 Infrastructure Conference plus $122,000 additional funds as a result of a review of costs across the Department.
12. Output Group 8 Racing Services
Over expenditure relates to revenues received that support Racing Services activities, payment of revenue to external bodies collected on behalf of those bodies, and additional funding of $122,000 as a result of costs across the Department.
13. Administered Payments
Approval for additional funds was received from the Government for the following:
$’000
Bruny Island Ferry Service
26
The Crown entered into a contract with North Western Shipping & Towage Co Pty Ltd to provide an ongoing ferry service between Bruny Island and Kettering for a period of ten years. The contract expires in December 2008. Clause 2 of schedule 4 includes a formula for indexation of the contract price from 28 February each year.
In relation to this contract, an additional $26,000 was required for the 2001-02 financial year. Approximately $20,000 of this request relates to indexation and the remaining $6,000 relates to modification of the ferry.
Private Forests Tasmania (PFT)
272
In 2001-02, PFT budgeted to receive $300,000 of revenue from the Private Forests Service Levy. However, due to delay in the implementation of the levy PFT anticipated that it would only receive $100,000. Thus, funding of $200,000 was required.
In addition, funding provided to PFT did not include a component for any increases in the State Service Wage Agreement (SSWA). This resulted in an additional cost of $72 000 for PFT in 2001-02 which funding was approved for.
Payments to School Bus Operators: Contract Services
700
The increase in funds required was a result of the cost of providing service extensions and/or upgrades of bus size to meet varying service demand. This item is difficult to forecast due primarily to the change in contract payment rates at different stages across parts of two school years.
14. Capital Investment Program
Under expenditure in the Capital Investment Program relates to a reduction in Commonwealth funding of $9.134 million offset by a higher than anticipated carry forward of funds from 2000-01.
