made under the
Financial Management Act 1996, s19D (Amendment of performance criteria)
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This statement outlines the reasons for the amendment of performance criteria under section 19D of the Financial Management Act 1996.

Section 19D (3) (f) of the Financial Management Act 1996 provides that the Minister may by instrument amend performance criteria if changes happen in the priorities of the department.

The amendment relates to the transfer of Heritage: 

from
Output Class 1.5:  Environmental Regulation
Department of Territory and Municipal Services
to
Output 1.6:  Heritage
Chief Minister’s Department 

The original targets reflected services being provided by the Department of Territory and Municipal Services, which are now being provided by the Chief Minister’s Department.

The notifiable instrument is retrospective, applying from 1 July 2010, the date that Heritage transferred from the Department of Territory and Municipal Services to the Chief Minister’s Department, and that the Chief Minister’s Department assumed responsibility for the functions within this measure.
