reporting requirements of the Public Governance,
Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (PGPA Act),
rules made under the PGPA Act, related Orders and
other applicable legislation. The passage of
transitional rules in April 20151 means, however, that
the relevant provisions of the Commonwealth
Authorities and Companies Act 1997 (CAC Act) and
related Orders continue to apply to this Annual
Report, with certain specified modifications,
notwithstanding the repeal of the CAC Act on
1 July 2014.
