1   Amounts have been restated, for comparative purposes only, to be consistent with Schedule A of the 2004/05 Estimates.
2   Executive and Support Services includes the Minister's Office, the Minister of State's Office, Deputy Minister's Office and the finance, administration, information technology and human resource support services for all ministry core businesses. Corporate Services staff FTEs under Executive and Support Services also support the Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection and other agencies through service agreements.
3   The Agricultural Land Commission has its own service plan.
4   Under a new accounting policy, the Crown Land Special Account is used to record free Crown grants and nominal rent tenures at fair market value for all of government. Except for $20,000 the budget shown here is offset by a matching revenue resulting in a zero impact to the government's budget.

In accordance with government's budget streamlining and workforce adjustment plans, the table also shows a 21 per cent decrease in the ministry's operating budget (when the Crown Land Special Account figure is excluded) and a 19 per cent reduction in staff from last year to the current year.2
2  

Does not include transfer of functions and FTEs (p. 42). 2003/04 baselines have been restated to account for this.
