explanation of Significant Variances<br />

The budget hourly rate is set on the basis that full<br />

staffing levels are maintained during the year. As<br />

vacancies will invariably occur, the budget amount<br />

will in most cases be less than the actuals in any<br />

year. The 2010/11 actual hourly rate has been<br />

impacted by additional employee-related costs that<br />

resulted from a reduction in the minimum service<br />

period required to recognise long service leave<br />

liability. In addition significant non salary-related<br />

costs were incurred for recreational surveys.<br />

Service 4: marine Safety<br />

Service Description: The marine safety service is<br />

delivered on behalf of the Department of Transport.<br />

This service includes checks by Fisheries and<br />

Marine Officers of recreational boats to ensure<br />

compliance with the safety requirements.<br />

Efficiency in Service 4 is described as the<br />

average cost per hour for services delivered as<br />

outlined in the following table.<br />

explanation of Significant Variances<br />

The budget hourly rate is set on the basis that full<br />

staffing levels are maintained during the year. As<br />

vacancies will invariably occur, the budget amount will<br />

in most cases be less than the actuals in any year.<br />

The 2010/11 actual hourly rate when compared to<br />

budget hourly rate has been impacted by additional<br />

employee-related costs that resulted from a reduction<br />

in the minimum service period required to recognise<br />

long service leave liability and a significant reduction<br />

in the level of services delivered. The 2010/11<br />

actual has reduced compared to the 2009/2010<br />

actual, as the reduced service delivery in this area<br />

in 2010/11 has resulted in a reduction in the non<br />

salary-related expenses.
