Our Mission Responding to the hopes of all Western Australians for their housing and construction needs.
Our Vision Leading in the provision of housing services and development of a built environment which contributes to:
supportive, vibrant and sustainable communities; a robust economy; strong regional development; and the natural environment
for the benefit of all Western Australians.
Our Role To provide housing for Western Australians who cannot otherwise afford their own homes by arranging affordable home finance, rental housing and land.
The Department also builds homes, develops land and undertakes joint venture projects with other housing providers. Its programs are aimed at low-income homebuyers and renters, disadvantaged groups and people with special housing needs.
As part of its ‘Works’ function, the Department delivers, manages and maintains non-residential buildings in Western Australia.

Director General’s Foreword
The 2002-03 financial year was the second for the Department of Housing and Works, since its inception on 1 July 2001 through the amalgamation of the former Ministry of Housing and parts of the former Department of Contract and Management Services.
It was pleasing to see many systems, processes and operations successfully refined within the Department and the evolution of a cohesive and purpose-driven organisation. In particular, the Works Procurement function has been significantly restructured and reorganised to provide two distinct functions – the Public Works Strategy Directorate with its whole-of-Government focus on advisory services and policy development; and the Project Services Directorate with a pivotal role to play in asset planning and project management, on behalf of a diversity of client agencies.
The non-residential works agenda is varied and challenging – from Government projects ranging from heritage precincts such as Fremantle Prison, to sensitive projects such as the Bali Memorial and ultra-large scale developments such as the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The Government’s focus on health, education and justice as priority areas has had an important impact on the Department and its project portfolio. Several major hospital and health service upgrades are in progress, along with state-
of-the-art schools and the visionary Nyandi Women’s Prison in Bentley.
Our Department’s approach to these and other projects is increasingly driven by the State Government’s Sustainability agenda. The Department of Housing and Works has been actively involved in the process of developing the State Sustainable Strategy that aims to balance environmental, social and economic imperatives for the future growth of Western Australia. There are many sustainability considerations relevant to the design and construction of public buildings, and the Department has initiated a number of projects to test new approaches to factors such as energy conservation and greenhouse gas emissions.
In this regard, the Department has the opportunity to be a role model to the private sector and to Government counterparts in other States and Territories.
I would like to acknowledge the flexibility and commitment of staff who have embraced the new challenges presented to them and adapted to a changing culture and organisational structure
The Western Australian Building Management Authority is a residual of the amalgamation of the Ministry of Housing and the Department of Contract and Management Services. The Authority's annual report has been included as a separate section of this report.

Works Procurement
Works Procurement provided a range of building-related management services to deliver the State Government’s Capital Works and Maintenance Programs. These services are delivered using extensive in-house expertise in asset planning, project delivery and maintenance planning for Government non-residential buildings. The Department of Housing and Works is committed to ensuring probity, value for money and effective risk management in all aspects of its operations.
Highlights 2002-03
The value of non-residential works managed during the year (including new works and improvements) exceeded $220 million.
Building Design Contracts
During the year, the Works Procurement Directorate awarded 279 contracts for service to building design professionals with a combined value of $12.9 million. The following are some of the major contracts for service awarded:
1. Bali Memorial
The Department assisted the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority (formerly Kings Park Botanic Garden) and the Department of the Premier and Cabinet in planning a memorial to those who were lost or injured in the bombings in Bali in October 2002, their families and those involved in the aftermath.
The memorial will be located on the top of the escarpment in Kings Park overlooking Perth water and will be complemented by an informal barbecue area. A design was chosen following feedback from the public on
design proposals commissioned from three Perth-based architectural firms. The Department has put in place an intensively-managed construction process that will ensure the completion of the project for the anniversary of the event in October 2003. The total cost of the project is $850,000 including $500,000 for the cost of the memorial.
2. CBD Courts Complex
This project recommenced in earnest in October 2001 and since June 2002 the project has gained momentum with the appointment of a Project Director.
Cabinet has endorsed the project and allocated the funds in the capital works program for the management of the project procurement. The membership of the project team is currently being filled. The positions will involve a long-term engagement to manage the project to completion in late 2007.
Non-residential building works contracts
Over the same period Works Procurement awarded 251 non-residential building works contracts, at a combined contract value of $222 million. The following are some of the major construction contracts commenced during the year:
1. The Metropolitan Low Security Women’s Prison (Nyandi)
The construction of the new Metropolitan Low Security Women’s Prison (Nyandi) commenced in March 2003. The intention of the new facility is to create a community atmosphere within the complex, utilising small-
7
scale domestic residential-style accommodation.
The $11.0 million construction contract is due for completion in March 2004.
2. Sir Charles Gardiner Hospital Emergency Department Upgrade and Other Major Health Projects
The contract to upgrade the Emergency Department at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, was awarded in January 2003. The $8 million construction work, programmed for completion in April 2004, is being undertaken in four stages to allow the hospital to maintain its emergency services at all times.
Similar upgrades were undertaken at Rockingham-Kwinana District Hospital Emergency department, King Edward Memorial Hospital Delivery Suite and Osborne Park Hospital New Theatre Block for a total cost of $29 million.
3. Canning Vale College
The contract to construct the first stage of the new high school for Canning Vale was awarded in January 2003 for $12.4 million. The project is scheduled for completion for the commencement of the 2004 school year. The school is to be constructed in two distinct and separate stages, initially providing for years eight to ten, with years eight and nine commencing in 2004. The project will eventually be expanded to include facilities for years 11 and 12.
The school will have modern and innovative facilities developed in consultation with the school community including specialist areas for performing and visual arts, material and information technologies, student services, a sports hall and a library resource centre.
4. Lotteries Federation Walkway
The Botanic Garden and Parks Authority requested the Department to arrange, design, document and construct an elevated walkway in the grounds of Kings Park.
The walkway is at the top of the escarpment above the old Swan Brewery and below the Women’s Suffrage Memorial. The project consists of approximately 150 metres of on-ground walkways and approximately 250 metres of elevated walkways including a bridge.
Completed Projects
The following significant projects were completed during the year.
1. Mindarie College
The Department of Education and Training’s new $15 million senior college was built at Mindarie. The two-storey building constructed from coloured pre-cast concrete and masonry blocks was successfully delivered in January, in time for commencement of the school year. The facility features performing arts and multi-media production suites, ceramic, painting and drawing studios, an auditorium and teaching facilities for computing, science, metal and woodworking machine rooms.
2. Kinross College
Stage two of the College’s development was completed at Kinross in time for the new school year last January. A new auditorium and further teaching facilities were later completed in May 2003, bringing to a conclusion the site’s $15 million development.
The development offers two learning community-teaching blocks, a library, progressive community centres for technology and the arts, with a
8
distinctive covered sports area in addition to extensive hard courts.
3. Australian Marine Complex – Jervoise Bay
The construction of the infrastructure for the Australian Marine Complex project, formerly known as the Jervoise Bay development, for the State was completed. Major components of the project, included:
a protected and dredged harbour; a 15,000 tonne loadout wharf and a 3,000 tonne loadout wharf; a common user facility including a large movable Fabrication Hall; various other on site facilities including portal cranes and workers’ amenities; and a 80-hectare fabrication precinct /industrial estate.
The $118 million of infrastructure is now complete.
Special Government Projects
1. Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre

Old Treasury Building
4. Sunset Hospital
In May 2002, the State Government established the community-based Sunset Steering Committee to consult with the broader community and advise Government on possible future uses for the former Sunset Hospital site in Dalkeith.
In early June 2003, the Committee presented a concept plan and report to the Minister for Housing and Works. The Minister released the Sunset Community Village concept plan for public comment in early June 2003.
5. Old Treasury Buildings
The Old Treasury Buildings are one of the most significant heritage sites in Perth, bounded by St Georges Terrace, Barrack Street, Hay Street and Cathedral Avenue.
Design solutions will need to be considered for any new development on the building site that ensures heritage, financial, social and urban design matter are properly addressed. A forum of key stakeholders was held on the site in December 2002 to discuss potential design issues and processes that may advance the development of the buildings. At the forum the Minister proposed additional
9
consultation with stakeholders on the future of the buildings.
Draft heritage, planning and design guidelines are being prepared to ensure that any redevelopment complements the heritage values of the existing building. Key stakeholder groups are being consulted on the
guidelines.
Procurement options for the buildings are also being investigated, to identify how best to conserve the buildings whilst taking into the account the guidelines, market condition and Government requirements.

Fremantle Prison
Fremantle Prison
Fremantle Prison is one of Western Australia’s most significant heritage sites. It closed as an operating prison in 1991 and has since been developed as a tourism and heritage precinct. A Fremantle Prison Trust Committee, formed in 1992, advises the Minister for Housing and Works in relation to the Fremantle Prison site.
The Department of Housing and Works provides support to the Trust, managing day-to-day running of the complex and provides advice on conservation.
Highlights 2002-03
Visitor Services
The year marked the first full financial cycle for the in-house management of the tourism operation by the Department. Despite what has been widely acknowledged as one of the most difficult operating environments in the tourism sector, visitation grew at the Prison by 16 per cent with more than 121,000 tour sales. Targeted marketing and profile-building, supported by innovative new branding and improvements to product delivery, contributed to this positive result. Revenues generated by the in-house tourism operation have enabled an unprecedented 75 per cent increase in recurrent maintenance spend to $233,000.
Public Programs
A special event, Catalpa Day, took place on Easter Monday to raise public awareness of a fascinating story from the Prison’s convict origins, thus adding to the success of the annual Descendants’ Day celebrations. The program included a convict escape re-enactment on the tall
ship Leeuwin, themed guided tours and a stage play. The events resulted in an increase of 206 per cent in visitors for the day and ongoing interest in the story and a related exhibition project. It has been proposed that this program will continue on as an annual event.
Master Plan Project
Launched in May 2002, the Master Plan project was initiated to identify the issues associated with sustainable use and development. The aim of the project is to develop a ten-year strategic plan for the site. Following extensive stakeholder and public consultation, the final plan was completed in June 2003. The plan will be submitted to Cabinet for consideration in late 2003.
Outlook 2003-04
Visitor Services
An ongoing program of product development and enhancement will focus on both day and evening tours. Both areas have remained substantially unchanged for some time. The proposed development of the Prison’s tunnel system as a tourism attraction will be fully explored. It is believed that the availability of tunnel tours could increase annual visitor numbers by up to 40 per cent.
Master Plan
Subject to endorsement of the final Master Plan for Fremantle Prison by State Cabinet, the Department will establish a process to implement the key short-term recommendations with a focus on opportunities such as:
17
upgrading tourism facilities and infrastructure in the Gatehouse complex, adaptation of Main Parade Ground for public events; and initiation of the Prison Tunnels tourism development.
The Department will also develop a framework and process for implementing the $2.34 million Strategic Maintenance Program. The program has been fully funded over a three-year period commencing in 2004-05.
Output Measures
The following output measures apply to the management of precincts.
Measure Actual2002-03
Target2002-03
Precincts managed 5 5
Minister’s satisfaction with the management of Fremantle prison Not available Greater than 51
Management status reports for precincts delivered within the agreed timeframe 100% 95%
Average cost per precinct managed $459,033 $294,730
The Minister for Housing and Works’ satisfaction survey was not completed, due to transition of Ministerial portfolios late in 2002-03. The increase in the average cost per precinct managed was due to additional expenses associated with the maintenance and development of Fremantle Prison. The presentation and restoration of this heritage-listed asset has had a positive effect on the revenue produced from the prison’s tourist operations.

The Act covers a wide variety of works relating to: transport; water supply, sewerage and drainage; public buildings, parks, gardens and grounds for public recreation; protection and conservation of places or environmental features; harbours, ports, quarries and similar works.
Specialist works agencies, such as the Department of Planning and Infrastructure and Government Trading Enterprises, have their own enabling legislation and do not rely on the Public Works Act. The Department uses Public Works Act powers for its core business of procurement and maintenance of public buildings.
Most Government departments and agencies do not have powers to construct buildings or other infrastructure. Generally, public works required for the purposes of these departments or Minister for Housing and Works constructs agencies through the Department. The Minister for Housing and Works administers the Public Works Act with the assistance of the Department and other public authorities.
Housing Act 1980
The State Housing Commission (the Commission) was established under the State Housing Act 1946 and continued under the current Housing Act 1980. The Commission is a body corporate and an agent of the Crown. The objectives of the Act are to:
improve existing housing conditions; provide housing and land for housing; provide assistance to enable persons to obtain accommodation or improve the standard of their accommodation; encourage the development and redevelopment of land for housing and related purposes; and carry into effect of agreements and arrangements entered into with the Commonwealth with respect to housing.

acquire, hold, maintain, improve, exchange, lease and dispose of real and personal property; borrow and lend money; and give guarantees, indemnities, and undertakings whether in respect of the payment or repayment of moneys, the performance of obligations, or otherwise.
19
The Commission can employ its own staff and does not have a power to use the staff and services of other agencies.
Country Housing Act 1998
The Country Housing Act established the Country Housing Authority. The Country Housing Authority is a body corporate and an agent of the Crown. The objectives of the Act are to:
provide housing outside the metropolitan regions for farmers and their employees and for retired farmers in connection with certain businesses and services; borrow and lend money; and acquire, hold, manage, improve, develop and dispose of real and personal property.
The Country Housing Authority is governed by a six-member Board appointed by the Minister, the State Treasurer and the Minister responsible for the Technology and Industry Development Act 1983.
The Country Housing Authority cannot employ its own staff but has the power to use the staff and services of other agencies. It currently uses the staff and services of the State Housing Commission.
Government Employees Housing Act 1964
This Act established the Government Employees Housing Authority, or GEHA. GEHA is a body corporate and an agent of the Crown. The objectives of the Act are to:
procure land and houses for Government employees; maintain those houses; and lease and dispose of those houses or land.
GEHA is governed by an eight-member Board appointed by the Minister.

Housing Loan Guarantee Act 1957
This Act is intended to encourage, through provisions for guarantees and indemnities, the building and purchasing of houses by:
enabling institutions concerned with advancing loans for the purposes of building houses or with making financial assistance available for the purposes of purchasing houses, or with both, to increase amounts of advances and financial assistance for those purposes; and
20
enabling institutions mentioned above to borrow money to be applied in the building and purchasing of houses.
The Treasurer is authorised to give guarantees and indemnities to encourage the building and purchase of houses.

II. CURRENT LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
Machinery of Government (Miscellaneous Amendment) Bill 2003
The Machinery of Government Bill is being prepared by the Department of Premier and Cabinet and is expected to be enacted in the Spring Session of Parliament.
The Bill makes provisions for the State Housing Commission, the Government Employees’ Housing Authority and the Country Housing Authority to be merged to
21
become a single Housing Authority under the Housing Act 1980. Management of the Housing Authority will be vested in the Chief Executive Officer who will manage the consolidated functions. The functions of the Housing Authority will be described in each relevant Act. The existing Boards will subsequently be abolished. The separate funds set up under each Act have not been merged, nor are the financial provisions. The Minister will be separate from the Housing Authority and will have the power to direct the Authority.
Housing Bill
Cabinet approved drafting of a new Housing Bill in December 2001. This Bill will continue the single Housing Authority and allow repeal of the Housing Act 1980,the Government Employees’ Housing Act 1964, and the Country Housing Act 1998.
A Counsel has been allocated to the drafting of this Bill but due to other legislative priorities substantial progress has not been made.
Public Works Act Amendment Bill
Cabinet approved drafting of amendments to the Public Works Act in December 2001. These amendments clarify the role and functions of the Minister for Housing Works and will abolish the Western Australian Building Management Authority.
Architects Bill 2003
The drafting instructions for the final Architects Bill were forwarded to Parliamentary Counsel in May 2003. Once the Department has received and accepted the final draft, the Bill will be submitted to Cabinet for approval to print.Introduction to Parliament will depend on the Government’s legislative priorities.
Construction Contracts Bill 2003
The drafting instructions for the final Construction Contracts Bill were
forwarded to Parliamentary Counsel in March 2003. Once the Department has received and accepted the final draft, the Bill will be submitted to Cabinet for approval to print. Introduction to Parliament will depend on the Government’s legislative priorities.
Repeal of the Housing Societies Act
Cabinet approval is being sought for repeal of the Housing Societies Act. The Act provides a framework for establishing and managing terminating building societies. The use of terminating building societies has been wound down in favour of loans schemes through Keystart. Over a long period of time, existing terminating building societies have amalgamated rather than having been wound up. As a result, accumulated reserves are concentrated in the few remaining societies, and if wound up under the current Act, the controllers of those societies would reap a windfall profit of approximately $8 million. The proposal before Cabinet is to repeal the Act and transfer the surplus to the State Government to fund public housing.
Building Act
The proposed Building Act will update and consolidate the framework for establishing building standards and issuing of building licences. Drafting instructions were prepared under the previous Government and endorsed by Cabinet in 2000. Drafting has not proceeded and a number of policy issues need to be reconsidered. The main issue is the use of private sector certification.
The Building Control Branch from the Department of Local Government and Regional Development are now part of the Department of Housing and Works. The knowledge and expertise of the Branch will help to expedite the progress of this legislation.

Year of the Built Environment
The Western Australian Government has proclaimed 2004 to be the Year of the Built Environment. The built environment can be defined as the buildings, places and structure in which we live, work and play.
The Year of the Built Environment 2004 is strongly supported, in Western Australia, by the built environment industry and the Minister for Housing and Works. This Western Australian initiative has gained the support of the Federal Government to make the Year of the Built Environment an Australia-wide event.
Highlights 2002-03
A Chair and State Steering Committee were appointed to plan the celebrations and events for the Year of the Built Environment 2004, to encourage community, industry and Government involvement.
The Federal Government announced that the Year of the Built Environment will receive national support through a program of events and formal funding of $168 million.
Outlook 2003-04
Planning for the year will proceed with the following key activities:
the development and completion of a marketing and communications plan including publications and display material; the development of a Commonwealth Website to encourage and enhance the national focus; and the development and implementation of a calendar of events, including the management of an activities program.

Sustainability
The State Labor Government will release a State Sustainability Strategy later this year to guide the implementation of sustainability in Western Australia over the next five to 10 years and beyond. Sustainability refers to meeting the needs of current and future generations through integration of environmental protection, social advancement and economic prosperity.
The Department of Housing and Works has been actively involved in the process of developing the Strategy through written submissions, participation in workshops and ongoing liaison at officer level.
The Department is committed to sustainability and has implemented a number of initiatives in advance of the release of the Strategy:
the implementation of a policy requiring all owners to disclose the Australian Building Greenhouse Rating Scheme (ABGRS) rating of their
buildings at the time a proposal is being considered to accommodate a Government agency. A proposal is currently being considered to accommodate a Government agency. Office buildings under the Department’s control will be ‘energy-audited’ and assigned an ABGR rating; planning for an innovative school incorporating a number of sustainability initiatives to be built at Harvest Lakes, South Atwell. This project is designed to demonstrate the key elements of sustainable design to the students and to the broader community; transfer of responsibility for building control standards and the Building Code of Australia to the Department in late April 2003. This supports Government initiatives in sustainable buildings by allowing direct input into building standards and regulatory frameworks.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT OPINION
To the Parliament of Western Australia
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND WORKS PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2003
Audit Opinion In my opinion, the key effectiveness and efficiency performance indicators of the Department of Housing and Works are relevant and appropriate to help users assess the Department’s performance and fairly represent the indicated performance for the year ended June 30, 2003.
Scope The Director General’s Role The Director General is responsible for developing and maintaining proper records and systems for preparing performance indicators.
The performance indicators consist of key indicators of efficiency and effectiveness.
Summary of my Role As required by the Financial Administration and Audit Act 1985, I have independently audited the performance indicators to express an opinion on them. This was done by looking at a sample of the evidence.
An audit does not guarantee that every amount and disclosure in the performance indicators is error free, nor does it examine all evidence and every transaction. However, my audit procedures should identify errors or omissions significant enough to adversely affect the decisions of users of the performance indicators.

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND WORKS CERTIFICATION OF PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003
I hereby certify that the performance indicators are based on proper records, are relevant and appropriate for assisting users to assess the Department of Housing and Works performance, and fairly represent the performance of the Department for the financial year ended 30 June 2003.

Performance Indicators
Outcome: Value for money in the delivery and management of Government projects, properties and office accommodation.
The Department of Housing and Works delivers, manages and maintains non-residential buildings across the State. A wide range of services are provided to facilitate the State Government's capital works and maintenance programs. These include:
a coordinated and specialist approach to procurement and management of the State Government’s non-residential capital works and office accommodation requirements; responsibility for managing the Government’s exposure to building and construction related risk and performing all commercial interface roles in architecture and building where appropriate; maintenance of appropriate contracting and building standards for the delivery of the State Government’s non-residential capital works procurement program; and establishment and maintenance of appropriate office and building standards for the State Government’s accommodation needs.
The Department participates in partnerships with private sector service providers. Capital works and non-residential projects are designed by private sector architects and constructed by commercial builders under contract to and managed by the Department.
Changes to the output and indicators for 2002-03 The Department of Housing and Works output measures for 2002-03 include the previous output measures for the Western Australian Building Management Authority, as the Department was responsible for the procurement of the Government’s building works in 2002-03. The Western Australian Building Management Authority continues as a legal entity servicing State borrowings.
The Department adopted a shared Outcome, Key Effectiveness Indicator, Output 1 statement and Output 1 description for 2002-03 to provide an inclusive definition of its expanded services.
Determination of Client Satisfaction Satisfaction surveys are based on the use of a 7-point Likert-type scale. The response rating is based on the proportion of respondents surveyed who were satisfied. Respondents were asked to provide a rating of the Department’s services in the range ‘Very satisfied’, ‘Satisfied’, ‘Slightly satisfied’, ‘Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied’, ‘Slightly dissatisfied’, ‘Dissatisfied’ or ‘Very dissatisfied’. All ‘Not applicable’ or ‘Don’t know’ responses have been excluded from the satisfaction rating.
A ‘satisfied respondent’ for a particular question is defined as a person providing a response in the range ‘Very satisfied’ to ‘Slightly satisfied’ inclusive. The number of responses to a question falling in this range, divided by the total number of valid responses to the question, is taken as a percentage and reported as the client satisfaction rating.
33
Key Effectiveness Indicator:
Client satisfaction that services, in relation to the delivery and management of Government projects, properties and office accommodation, provide value for money.
Actual 1999-00 Actual 2000-01 Actual 2001-02 Actual 2002-03 Target 2002-03 84% 69% 67% 82% 75%
This indicator was determined by client surveys. Survey statistics: Population number 56 Number of valid responses 50 Responses as percentage of total population 89% Number of not applicable or don’t know responses in above population 17
The extent to which value for money was achieved is measured through a survey of executive-level officers of client agencies to determine the extent to which they consider buildings have been delivered, managed and maintained at agreed standards. Agreed standards reflect the requirements of Government and of the client agencies in relation to the satisfactory delivery, management and maintenance of Government buildings and accommodation.
The increase in client satisfaction indicates the client acceptance of the Department’s increased involvement in the delivery, management and maintenance of Government buildings. With the transition to a new reporting Minister late in 2002-03, the Minister’s response was not included in the above result.
Additional effectiveness measures are included for the whole-of-Government coordination of the procurement for Western Australian office accommodation requirements and the ongoing management of the office accommodation portfolio.
Effectiveness Measure 2: Occupational density for the city and metropolitan region.
Actual2001-02
Lettable Area 2002-03
Employee numbers (FTEs) 2002-03
Area per employee Actual 2002-03
Target2002-03
21.6 301,000 sq m 13,940 (estimated) 21.6 17.0
This measure indicates developments in occupational density that can lead to improved performance in the management of Government office accommodation standards. Occupational density is the average net lettable area per employee leased and owned Government office accommodation as at 30 June 2003.
The area per employee has been static for the last four. The design benchmark of 17m2 per employee for new office fitouts was contained in the Office Accommodation manual published by Treasury in February 1999. Although occupation density is reviewed regularly with departments, at this stage there is no directive for them to comply with this benchmark.
34
Effectiveness Measure 3: Vacancy rate for the city and metropolitan region.
Actual2001-02
Lettable Area 2002-03
Vacant Area 2002-03
Vacancy Rate 2002-03
Target2002-03
0.25% 301,000 sq m 4,275 sq m 1.4% 0%
This measure indicates the actual performance in minimising the vacant office accommodation space under management. The vacancy rate is the percentage of total marketable office accommodation by area that is vacant in leased and owned Government office accommodation as at the 30 June 2003. Through the effective management by the Commercial Property branch, the vacancy rate has remained at a small percentage despite the increase in availability of leased accommodation.
Output 1: Delivery and management of Government projects, properties and office accommodation.
Output description: Management services for the planning and delivery of public buildings and infrastructure assets; leasing and coordination of Government's office accommodation portfolio; and the on-going management of Government properties; ensuring probity, integrity, management of risk and the achievement of value for money outcomes. Includes policy development and advice to the State Government in relation to the building and construction industry.
Efficiency indicator 1.1 – Special Projects: Average cost per special project managed.
Actual 2001-02 Actual 2002-03 Target 2002-03 $327,418 $197,833 $448,545
This measure is calculated as the total cost allocated to this service, including overheads, divided by the number of special projects managed.
The Department provided project management for 11 special projects for new or improved future use developments.
The redistribution of resources of the previous Government Projects Office and the reduction in Capital User Charges has reduced the cost allocated to this service.
Efficiency indicator 1.2 – Major and Heritage Contracts: Cost as a percentage of the value of capital works projects managed through head office.
Actual 2001-02 Actual 2002-03 Target 2002-03 2.2% 2.26% 1.98%
This indicator is calculated from the total costs allocated to this service, including all overheads, divided by the value of works billed and expressed as a percentage.
The value of works billed (invoiced) recovers the expenditure on consultant and builder contracts for capital and other non-residential building works. Clients are Government agencies. This is a key indicator for evaluating the cost of the service in relation to the value of the works projects managed through Perth Head Office.
35
Works managed was less than the target forecast due to the value of works billed being less than estimated and the reconsideration of some key projects of the 2002-03 capital works program by agencies.
Efficiency indicator 1.3 – Capital and Maintenance Works Programs: Cost as a percentage of the value of client agency works programs managed.
Actual 2001-02 Actual 2002-03 Target 2002-03 0.57% 0.52% 0.51%
This indicator is calculated by dividing the total cost allocated to this service, including all overheads, by the value of the portfolio of capital and maintenance works being organised for clients and expressed as a percentage.
The Department provided expertise to assist client agencies in the development and management of their capital works and maintenance programs. This is a key indicator in assessing the input necessary to provide this assistance.
Efficiency indicator 1.4 – Precincts: Average cost of precinct managed.
Actual 2001-02 Actual 2002-03 Target 2002-03 $221,638 $459,033 $294,730
This indicator is calculated as the total cost allocated to this service, including all overheads, divided by the number of precincts managed.
Precincts are defined as properties or contiguous sites where several agencies may have an interest or a presence. Precincts may also be places where ownership is unclear or in transition. The Department provides a management service in such situations. This is a key indicator in showing the input necessary in providing this service to assist agencies and Government.
Included are substantial costs associated with the maintenance and development of Fremantle Prison. The preservation and restoration of this heritage-listed asset has had a appositive effect on the revenue produced from the prison’s tourist operations.
Efficiency indicator 1.5 – Regional jobs: Cost as a percentage of the value of minor works and maintenance services managed through regional offices.
Actual 2001-02 Actual 2002-03 Target 2002-03 15.9% 15.1% 17.9%
The indicator is determined by the proportion of total cost allocated to this service, including all overheads, and the value of minor works and maintenance services managed through regional offices.
‘Minor works and maintenance services’ includes contract development and contract management for minor works, breakdown repairs and maintenance jobs for client agencies in regional areas. This is a key indicator for assessing the cost of provision of this service in the regions.
The key efficiency measure was well within the target forecast due to the increased value of minor works and maintenance services managed through regional office and the decreased cost of management through the co-location of works and housing offices.
36
Efficiency indicator 1.6 – Maintenance jobs: Cost as a percentage of the value of minor works and maintenance services managed through head office.
Actual 2001-02 Actual 2002-03 Target 2002-03 3.97% 6.28% 6.27%
This indicator is calculated as the total cost allocated to this service, including all overheads, divided by the value of minor works and maintenance services managed through Perth Head Office. These works were implemented through facility management contracts.
‘Minor works and maintenance services’ includes development and management of property management contracts for minor works, breakdown repairs and maintenance for client agencies in metropolitan (non-regional) areas.
The year 2002-03 figures include additional services such as a call centre, over those in 2001-02.
Efficiency indicator 1.7 – Regional Goods and Services contracts: Cost as a percentage of the value of goods and services contracts developed through regional offices.
Actual 2001-02 Actual 2002-03 Target 2002-03 14.3% 18.8% 15.3%
The indicator is calculated as the total cost allocated to this service, including all overheads, divided by the turnover value of the goods and services contracts developed by regional offices and expressed as a percentage.
Contracts are developed specifically for individual client agencies located in regional areas for the purchase of goods or services. Contracts are developed with suppliers for a range of widely-used products that can be accessed by agencies and other approved buyers including Local Government, Public Benevolent Institutions, Universities, third-party providers to Government, Government Trading Enterprises and State and Federal Government agencies. This is a key indicator for assessing the cost of provision of this service in regional areas.
The volume of goods and services contracts developed through regional offices was significantly restricted due to the SSC delegated authority constraints placed on this work.
Efficiency indicator 1.8 – Office Buildings: Cost per building managed.
Actual 2001-02 Actual 2002-03 Target 2002-03 $531,841 $865,346 $670,277
This indicator is calculated as the total cost allocated to this service, including overheads, divided by the number of buildings under management.
The Department managed 22 office buildings at 30 June 2003. The average cost per building managed increased primarily as a result of the increase in capital user charges.
37
Efficiency indicator 1.9 – Lease Administration: Cost per lease administered.
Actual 2001-02 Actual 2002-03 Target 2002-03 $4,251 $3,081 $2,816
This indicator is calculated as the total cost allocated to this service including overheads, divided by the number of leases administered.
The Department administered 412 leases at 30 June 2003, compared to 434 leases at 30 June 2002.

To the Parliament of Western Australia
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND WORKS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2003
Audit Opinion In my opinion,
(i) the controls exercised by the Department of Housing and Works provide reasonable assurance that the receipt and expenditure of moneys, the acquisition and disposal of property, and the incurring of liabilities have been in accordance with legislative provisions; and
(ii) the financial statements are based on proper accounts and present fairly in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia and the Treasurer’s Instructions, the financial position of the Department at June 30, 2003 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Scope The Director General’s Role The Director General is responsible for keeping proper accounts and maintaining adequate systems of internal control, preparing the financial statements, and complying with the Financial Administration and Audit Act 1985 (the Act) and other relevant written law.
The financial statements consist of the Statement of Financial Performance, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Cash Flows, Summary of Consolidated Fund Appropriations and Revenue Estimates, and the Notes to the Financial Statements.
Summary of my Role As required by the Act, I have independently audited the accounts and financial statements to express an opinion on the controls and financial statements. This was done by looking at a sample of the evidence.
An audit does not guarantee that every amount and disclosure in the financial statements is error free. The term “reasonable assurance” recognises that an audit does not examine all evidence and every transaction. However, my audit procedures should identify errors or omissions significant enough to adversely affect the decisions of users of the financial statements.

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND WORKS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003
1. Departmental mission and funding
The Department's mission is to respond to the hopes of all Western Australians for their housing and construction needs.
The Department is predominantly funded by Parliamentary appropriations. Revenues controlled by the Department are net appropriated under the Financial Administration and Audit (Net Appropriations) Determination 2002/2003, which causes all revenue controlled by the Department to be subject to net appropriation in the 2003 financial year. The financial statements encompass all Funds through which the Department controls resources to carry on its functions.
In the process of reporting on the Department as a single entity, all intra-entity transactions and balances have been eliminated.
2. Significant accounting policies
The following accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation of the financial statements. Unless otherwise stated these policies are consistent with those adopted in the previous year.
General Statement
The financial statements constitute a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards, Statements of Accounting Concepts and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, and Urgent Issues Group (UIG) Consensus Views as applied by the Treasurer's Instructions. Several of these are modified by the Treasurer's Instructions to vary application, disclosure, format and wording. The Financial Administration and Audit Act and the Treasurer's Instructions are legislative provisions governing the preparation of financial statements and take precedence over Accounting Standards, Statements of Accounting Concepts and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, and UIG Consensus Views. The modifications are intended to fulfill the requirements of general application to the public sector, together with the need for greater disclosure and also to satisfy accountability requirements.
If any such modification has a material or significant financial effect upon the reported results, details of that modification and where practicable, the resulting financial effect, are disclosed in individual notes to these financial statements.
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AAS 29.
The statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting using the historical cost convention, except for certain assets and liabilities which, as noted, are measured at fair value.
45
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND WORKS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003
Administered assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues are not integral to the Department in carrying out its functions and are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, forming part of the general purpose financial report of the Department. The administered items are disclosed on the same basis as is described above for the financial statements of the Department. The administered assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues are those which the Government requires the Department to administer on its behalf. The assets do not render any service potential or future economic benefits to the Department, the liabilities do not require the future sacrifice of service potential or future economic benefits of the Department, and the expenses and revenues are not attributable to the Department.
As the administered assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues are not recognised in the principal financial statements of the Department, the disclosure requirements of Accounting Standard AAS 33, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Instruments, are not applied to administered transactions.
(a) Output Appropriations
Output Appropriations are recognised as revenues in the period in which the Department gains control of the appropriated funds. The Department gains control of appropriated funds at the time those funds are deposited into the Department's bank account or credited to the holding account held at the Department of Treasury and Finance. Refer to Note 14 for further commentary on output appropriations.
(b) Contributed Equity
Under UIG 38 “Contributions by Owners Made to Wholly-Owned Public Sector Entities“ transfers in the nature of equity contributions must be designated by the Government (owners) as contributions by owners (at the time of, or prior to transfer) before such transfers can be recognised as equity contributions in the financial statements. Capital contributions (appropriations) have been designated as contributions by owners and have been credited directly to Contributed Equity in the Statement of Financial Position. Capital appropriations which are repayable to the Treasurer are recognised as liabilities. Refer to Note 28 for further commentary on the application of UIG 38 and TI 955
(c) Net Appropriation Determination
Pursuant to section 23A of the Financial Administration and Audit Act, the net appropriation determination by the Treasurer provides for retention of the following moneys received by the Department:
Provision of Contract Services; Executive Vehicle Scheme; GST Input Credits; GST receipts on sales: Rental Income sufficient to cover outgoings paid for government owned buildings and other departmental revenue.
In accordance with the determination, the Department retained $61.064m in 2003 ($6.289m in 2002). Retained revenues may only be applied to the outputs specified in the 2002-2003 Budget Statements.
46
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND WORKS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003
(d) Grants and Other Contributions
Grants, donations, gifts and other non-reciprocal contributions are recognised as revenue when the Department obtains control over the assets comprising the contributions. Control is normally obtained upon their receipt.
Contributions are recognised at their fair value. Contributions of services are only recognised when a fair value can be reliably determined and the services would
be purchased if not donated.
(e) Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of goods and disposal of other assets and the rendering of services, is recognised when the Department has passed control of the goods or other assets or delivery of the service to the customer.
(f) Acquisitions of assets
The cost method of accounting is used for all acquisitions of assets. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given up or liabilities undertaken at the date of acquisition plus incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisition.
Assets acquired at no cost or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised at their fair value at the date of acquisition.
(g) Depreciation of non-current assets
All non-current assets having a limited useful life are systematically depreciated over their estimated useful lives in a manner which reflects the consumption of their future economic benefits.
Depreciation is calculated on the straight -line basis, using rates which are reviewed annually. Expected useful lives for each class of depreciable asset are:
Heritage assets 100 years Buildings 40 years Computer Hardware & Software 3 to 5 years Air Conditioning 10 years Office furniture and fittings 10 years Office machines and equipment 5 years
(h) Revaluation of Land, Buildings and Infrastructure
The Department has a policy of valuing land and buildings at fair value. The annual revaluations of the Department's land and buildings undertaken by the Valuer General's Office are recognised in the financial statements.
(i) Leases
The Department's rights and obligations under finance leases, which are leases that effectively transfer to the Department substantially all of the risks and benefits incident to ownership of the leased items, are initially recognised as assets and liabilities equal in amount to the present value of the minimum lease payments. The assets are disclosed as buildings depreciated to the Statement of Financial Performance over the period during which the Department is expected to benefit from use of the leased assets. Minimum lease payments are allocated between interest expense and reduction of the lease liability, according to the interest rate implicit in the lease.
47
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND WORKS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003
Finance lease liabilities are allocated between current and non-current components. The principal component of lease payments due on or before the end of the succeeding year is disclosed as a current liability, and the remainder of the lease liability is disclosed as a non-current liability.
The Department has entered into a number of operating lease arrangements for properties, motor vehicles and office equipment where the lessor effectively retains all of the risks and benefits incident to ownership of the items held under the operating leases. Equal instalments of the lease payments are charged to the Statement of Financial Performance over the lease term as this is representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased property.
(j) Cash
For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash assets and restricted cash assets. These include short-term deposits that are readily convertible to cash on hand and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
(k) Accrued Salaries
The accrued salaries suspense account (refer note 16) consists of amounts paid annually into a suspense account over a period of 10 financial years to largely meet the additional cash outflow in each eleventh year when 27 pay days occur in that year instead of the normal 26. No interest is received on this account.
Accrued salaries (refer note 27) represent the amount due to staff but unpaid at the end of the financial year, as the end of the last pay period for that financial year does not coincide with the end of the financial year. Accrued salaries are settled within a few days of the financial year-end. The Department considers the carrying amount of accrued salaries to be equivalent to the net fair value.
(l) Receivables
Receivables are recognised at the amounts receivable as they are due for settlement no more than 30 days from the date of recognition.
Collectability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off. A provision for doubtful debts is raised where some doubt as to collection exists.
(m) Software
Significant costs associated with the acquisition or development of computer software are capitalised and amortised on a straight line basis over the periods of the expected benefit, which varies from three to five years.
(n) Payables
Payables, including accruals not yet billed, are recognised when the Department becomes obliged to make future payments as a result of a purchase of assets or services. Payables are generally settled within 30 days.
48
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND WORKS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003
(o) Interest-bearing liabilities
Borrowing costs expense is recognised on an accrual basis
(p) Amounts Due to the Treasurer
The amount due to the Treasurer is in respect of a Treasurer's Advance, approval of which is renewed for each financial year. The amount is therefore repayable within a maximum period of one year. No interest is charged on this advance.
(q) Employee benefits
Annual leave
This benefit is recognised at the reporting date in respect to employees' services up to that date and is measured at the nominal amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Long service leave
The liability for long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date is recognised in the provisions for employee benefits and is measured at the nominal amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. The liability for long service leave expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date is recognised in the provisions for employee benefits and is measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given, when assessing expected future payments, to expected future wage and salary levels including relevant on costs, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Superannuation
Staff may contribute to the Pension Scheme, a defined benefits pension scheme now closed to new members, or to the Gold State Superannuation Scheme, a defined benefit lump sum scheme now also closed to new members. All staff who do not contribute to either of these schemes become non-contributory members of the West State Superannuation Scheme, an accumulation fund complying with the Commonwealth Government's Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992. All of these schemes are administered by the Government Employees Superannuation Board (GESB).
The superannuation expense comprises the following elements:
(i) change in the unfunded employer's liability in respect of current employees who are members of the Pension Scheme and current employees who accrued a benefit on transfer from that Scheme to the Gold State Superannuation Scheme; and
(ii) employer contributions paid to the Gold State Superannuation Scheme and the West State Superannuation Scheme.
49
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND WORKS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003
The superannuation expense does not include payment of pensions to retirees, as this does not constitute part of the cost of services provided by the Department in the current year.
A revenue “Liabilities assumed by the Treasurer” equivalent to (i) is recognised under Revenues from State Government in the Statement of Financial Performance as the unfunded liability is assumed by the Treasurer. The GESB makes the benefit payments and is recouped by the Treasurer.
The Department is funded for employer contributions in respect of the Gold State Superannuation Scheme and the West State Superannuation Scheme. These contributions were paid to the GESB during the year. The GESB subsequently paid the employer contributions in respect of the Gold State Superannuation Scheme to the Consolidated Fund.
Employee benefit on-costs
Employee benefit on-costs, including payroll tax, are recognised and included in employee benefit liabilities and costs when the employee benefits to which they relate are recognised as liabilities and expenses. (See notes 4 and 25).
(r) Resources Received Free of Charge or For Nominal Value
Resources received free of charge or for nominal value which can be reliably measured are recognised as revenues and as assets or expenses as appropriate at fair value.
(s) Comparative Figures
Comparative figures are, where appropriate, reclassified so as to be comparable with the figures presented in the current financial year.
The functions previously reported under the Western Australian Building Management Authority have now been transferred to the Department of Housing and Works. There are significant differences between the current year amounts and the comparatives shown.
(t) Rounding of amounts
Amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar.
(u) Project Development costs
Project development costs, other than those directly attributable to the construction of assets, are expensed as it is generally expected that the Department will not derive any future economic benefits from the projects being managed. The projects are being managed and developed on behalf of government.
50
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND WORKS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003
3. Outputs of the Department
Information about the Department's outputs and, the expenses and revenues which are reliably attributable to those outputs is set out in the Output Schedule. Information about expenses, revenues, assets and liabilities administered by the Department are given in note 38.
The key output of the Department:
Output 1: Delivery and management of Government projects, properties and office accommodation
This output comprises the Management services for the planning and delivery of public buildings and infrastructure assets: leasing and coordination of Government’s office accommodation portfolio: and the on-going management of government properties: ensuring probity, integrity, management of risk and the achievement of value for money outcomes. Includes policy development and advice to Government in relation to the building and construction industry.

A capital user charge rate of 8% has been set by the Government and represents the opportunity cost of capital invested in the net assets of the Department used in the provision of outputs. The charge is calculated on the net assets adjusted to take account of exempt assets. Payments are made to the Department of Treasury and Finance on a quarterly basis.
The previous year's comparison included Interest expense now shown as Borrowing costs expense. (See Note 5).

Output appropriations are accrual amounts reflecting the full cost of outputs delivered. The appropriations revenue comprises a cash component and a receivable (asset). The receivable (holding account) comprises the depreciation expense for the year and any agreed increase in leave liability during the year.
The assumption of the superannuation liability by the Treasurer is only notional revenue to offset the notional expense reported in respect of current employees who are members of the pension scheme and current employees who have a transfer benefit entitlement under the Gold State scheme.
The following liabilities have been assumed by the Treasurer during the financial year:

About the Western Australian Building Management Authority
The Western Australian Building Management Authority was established under the PublicWorks Act 1902 as a body corporate. The Authority was responsible for servicing borrowings dating from the 1984-85 Capital Works Program and the 1996 borrowings for construction of the Peel Health Campus.

Statutory requirements related to staffing and compliance with statutory reporting requirements as well as the Public Sector Standards and Codes have been integrated into the Department of Housing and Works’ annual report.

WESTERN AUSTRALIAN BUILDING MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2003
Audit Opinion In my opinion, the key effectiveness and efficiency performance indicators of the Western Australian Building Management Authority are relevant and appropriate to help users assess the Authority’s performance and fairly represent the indicated performance for the year ended June 30, 2003.
Scope The Accountable Authority’s Role The Accountable Authority is responsible for developing and maintaining proper records and systems for preparing performance indicators.
The performance indicators consist of key indicators of efficiency and effectiveness.
Summary of my Role As required by the Financial Administration and Audit Act 1985, I have independently audited the performance indicators to express an opinion on them. This was done by looking at a sample of the evidence.
An audit does not guarantee that every amount and disclosure in the performance indicators is error free, nor does it examine all evidence and every transaction. However, my audit procedures should identify errors or omissions significant enough to adversely affect the decisions of users of the performance indicators.

WESTERN AUSTRALIAN BUILDING MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS 2002/2003
Outcome: Value for money in the management of WABMA borrowings.
The Western Australian Building Management Authority (WABMA) is a body corporate established under the Public Works Act 1902. WABMA is responsible for servicing borrowings dating from the 1984/85 Capital Works Program and the 1996 borrowings for construction of the Peel Health Campus.
The previous output measures of the WABMA were transferred to the Department of Housing and Works (DHW) on 1 July 2002, as the Department was responsible for the procurement of the Government’s building works for 2002/03.
The Peel Health Campus loan repayment, that is a cost to WABMA, has a revenue payment from the Health Department to balance the cost. The loan repayment has no effect on the cost of producing DHW services and therefore zero cost is included in calculating DHW efficiency indicators. Similarly, the costs of servicing borrowings made during the period 1984 to 1987, to fund the State capital works building program are excluded. These costs were covered by a direct appropriation from Treasury.

The total value of WABMA borrowings were managed completely and in a timely manner for zero cost to the Western Australian Building Management Authority. These output measures indicate that the management of the WABMA borrowings for Peel Health Campus loan and 1984/87 WATC borrowings, provided value for money.

WESTERN AUSTRALIAN BUILDING MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2003
Audit Opinion In my opinion,
(i) the controls exercised by the Western Australian Building Management Authority provide reasonable assurance that the receipt, expenditure and investment of moneys, the acquisition and disposal of property, and the incurring of liabilities have been in accordance with legislative provisions; and
(ii) the financial statements are based on proper accounts and present fairly in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia and the Treasurer’s Instructions, the financial position of the Authority at June 30, 2003 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Scope The Accountable Authority’s Role The Accountable Authority is responsible for keeping proper accounts and maintaining adequate systems of internal control, preparing the financial statements, and complying with the Financial Administration and Audit Act 1985 (the Act) and other relevant written law.
The financial statements consist of the Statement of Financial Performance, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Cash Flows and the Notes to the Financial Statements.
Summary of my Role As required by the Act, I have independently audited the accounts and financial statements to express an opinion on the controls and financial statements. This was done by looking at a sample of the evidence.
An audit does not guarantee that every amount and disclosure in the financial statements is error free. The term “reasonable assurance” recognises that an audit does not examine all evidence and every transaction. However, my audit procedures should identify errors or omissions significant enough to adversely affect the decisions of users of the financial statements.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003
1. Significant accounting policies
The following accounting policies have been adopted by the Western Australian Building Management Authority (WABMA) in the preparation of the financial statements. Unless otherwise stated these policies are consistent with those adopted in the previous year.
General Statement
The financial statements constitute a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards, Statements of Accounting Concepts and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, and Urgent Issues Group (UIG) Consensus Views as applied by the Treasurer's Instructions. Several of these are modified by the Treasurer's Instructions to vary application, disclosure, format and wording. The Financial Administration and Audit Act and the Treasurer's Instructions are legislative provisions governing the preparation of financial statements and take precedence over Accounting Standards, Statements of Accounting Concepts and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, and UIG Consensus Views. The modifications are intended to fulfill the requirements of general application to the public sector, together with the need for greater disclosure and also to satisfy accountability requirements.
If any such modification has a material or significant financial effect upon the reported results, details of that modification and where practicable, the resulting financial effect, are disclosed in individual notes to these financial statements.
Basis of Accounting
The statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting using the historical cost convention, except for certain assets and liabilities which, as noted, are measured at fair value.
(a) Output Appropriations Output Appropriations are recognised as revenues in the period in which WABMA gains
control of the appropriated funds. WABMA gains control of appropriated funds at the time those funds are deposited into WABMA’s bank account or credited to the holding account held at the Department of Treasury and Finance.
(b) Contributed Equity
Under UIG 38 “Contributions by Owners Made to Wholly-Owned Public Sector Entities“ transfers in the nature of equity contributions must be designated by the Government (owners) as contributions by owners (at the time of, or prior to transfer) before such transfers can be recognised as equity contributions in the financial statements. Capital contributions (appropriations) have been designated as contributions by owners and have been credited directly to Contributed Equity in the Statement of Financial Position. Capital appropriations which are repayable to the Treasurer are recognised as liabilities.
(c) Cash
For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash assets and restricted cash assets. These include short-term deposits that are readily convertible to cash on hand and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
82
WESTERN AUSTRALIAN BUILDING MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003
(d) Lease receivable
WABMA completed construction of the Peel Health Campus in 1998-99. WABMA funded the project from borrowings through the Western Australian Treasury Corporation. Borrowing costs associated with the construction of Peel Health Campus were capitalised during the construction period.
The fully operational Peel Health Campus is leased to a private health services provider. WABMA reports this asset as a lease receivable.
The Department of Treasury and Finance ultimately intends to take over this lease receivable.
(e) Payables
The amount shown in the Statement of Financial Position as payables relates to the accrued interest on the repayment of borrowings to WATC.
(See Note 21).
(f) Interest bearing liabilities
Borrowings arranged through the Western Australian Treasury Corporation (WATC) were to meet funding for Capital Works programs (1984-87 financial years) and to meet funding for construction of the Peel Health campus.
The 1984 –87 borrowings were initially matched in the statement of financial position with building assets that WABMA had procured. These buildings are no longer controlled by WABMA and were written-back in the 1995-96 financial year resulting in an abnormal loss of $ 156 million in that year. WABMA is now carrying an equity deficit that is diminishing each year as the borrowing is repaid.
The Peel Health Campus borrowings were restructured on 15 June 2001 by agreement between WABMA and WATC. No change to WABMA’s liability for the Peel Health campus borrowings occurred. The loan repayment schedule and the maturity date were altered to better match with the primary revenue stream associated with the leasing of Peel Health Campus (note 1d).
Borrowings are initially recognised at the amount of net proceeds received. Borrowings are then treated as a monetary liability measured at the present value of the cash flows associated with their service and eventual repayment. Such value is determined by discounting the cash flows at the rate of interest implicit in the original agreement.
Premiums and discounts associated with raising the borrowings are amortised over the terms of the borrowings.
Interest is payable at nominated times throughout the year and is accrued for the period between the last payment date and the end of the financial year.
Net fair value is determined on a current risk adjusted market rates basis.
The Department of Treasury and Finance ultimately intends to take over both of these facilities.

WESTERN AUSTRALIAN BUILDING MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2003
(g) Leases
WABMA, as a lessor, has entered into a finance lease for the use of the Peel Health campus facility. WABMA’s rights and obligations under finance leases, which are leases that effectively transfer to the lessee substantially all of the risks and benefits incident to ownership of the leased items, are initially recognised as a lease receivable asset equal to the cost of constructing Peel Health Campus (see note 14). The lease receivable asset is allocated between current and non-current components. The finance revenue resulting from the lease is allocated between interest revenue and reduction of the lease receivable, according to the interest rate implicit in the lease.
(h) Revenue Recognition
Revenue comprises interest revenue only.
Interest is recognised progressively based on the interest rate implicit in the finance lease.
(i) Comparative Figures
Comparative figures are, where appropriate, reclassified so as to be comparable with the figures presented in the current financial year.
The functions previously reported under the Western Australian Building Management Authority, except for the loan portfolio, have now been transferred to the Department of Housing and Works. There are significant differences between the current year amounts and the comparatives shown.
(j) Rounding of amounts
Amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar.

The following assets have been assumed from/(transferred to) other state government agencies during the financial year:
Determined on the basis of the following estimates provided by agencies:
Output appropriations are accrual amounts reflecting the full cost of outputs delivered. The appropriations revenue comprises a cash component and a receivable (asset). The receivable (holding account) comprises the depreciation expense for the year and any agreed increase in leave liability during the year.
The assumption of the superannuation liability by the Treasurer is only notional revenue to offset the notional expense reported in respect of current employees who are members of the pension scheme and current employees who have a transfer benefit entitlement under the Gold State scheme.

Where assets or services have been received free of charge or for nominal consideration, the authority recognises revenues equivalent to the fair value of the assets and/or the fair value of those services that can be reliably determined and which would have been purchased if not donated, and those fair values shall be recognised as assets or expenses, as applicable.
The assets and liabilities previously reported under the Western Australian Building Management Authority have been transferred to the Department of Housing and Works as at 1 July 2002. WABMA retains only the loans transactions for the Peel Campus receivable and the repayment of the WATC loans.
Cash held at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia is in a sub-account of the Government of Western Australia Bank Account. WABMA receives no interest on the balance.
The cash is restricted to the payment to the Department of Treasury and Finance for CAMS share of the Commonwealth Bank account used by WABMA and CAMS prior to the "Machinery of Government" restructure.
