Appendix 2 aims to show all Commonwealth expenditure directly attributable to environmental activities. However, expenditure on environmental activities is not always readily identifiable, for example, where it is only one part of a larger project and not able to be separately identified. Consequently, the figures provided underestimate total Commonwealth environment-related expenditure. The figures provided for tax expenditures (tax concessions) are the cost to revenue estimated by the Australian Taxation Office and the Treasury.
The expenditure figures do not include general-purpose payments to the States and Territories that may then be spent on environmental activities. Nor do figures include general funding to tertiary educational bodies that may be applied to environmental research or training.
Figures have been provided for activities with an environment or heritage benefit as their primary or secondary goal. Environment benefit has been defined as:
· the prevention, reduction or elimination of waste, pollution or other degradation of the environment; and/or
· the conservation, rehabilitation, restoration or enhancement of the environment.
Although some programmes may not seem strictly of an environmental nature, the aim of the statement is to show a broad range of programmes that have an identifiable environmental element.
Figures for new measures include inflation consistent with other Budget statements. Other figures are expressed in 2001-02 prices unless otherwise indicated. There are some significant gaps in the figures for future years. Often this reflects the fact that the document is reporting components of larger programmes and that decisions about how these programme funds will be deployed in future years have not yet been made.
Not all dollar figures in the text are included in the tables of new measures, programmes and tax expenditure estimates. For instance, those dollar figures that are only broadly indicative or are provided as illustrations of particular projects, or are partially funded from Commonwealth outlays, are excluded.
All dollar figures are rounded to the nearest $100,000. This means that figures in tables may not add up to totals given in tables or in the text. Forward estimates from 2002-03 onwards are only estimates and are subject to normal budgetary procedures.
Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information presented in this document represents the net cost to the Commonwealth: the figures are exclusive of any GST which may be payable by the Commonwealth and which is recoverable as an input tax credit.
Natural Heritage Trust programmes can include funding from outside the Trust. Some programmes have departmental allocations in addition to Trust funds. There may also be corporate and divisional overheads included in the expenditure.
Table A2.1: Environment Activities - Programme and Tax Expenditure Estimates
This table lists activities under the theme sections as used in Chapter 4. `na' denotes that spending cannot be precisely identified but it does not mean that spending is not occurring. The outyears (2002-03 onwards) do not reflect the extension of funding of $1 billion over 5 years for the Natural Heritage Trust. The Commonwealth will be seeking matching funding for the extension of the Trust from the States and Territories. NB: contact details for agencies can be found in Table A3.1, and full contact details with regards to each particular programme listed in Table A2.1 can be found on the following website- www.ea.gov.au/about/budget/2001/.
