7 - 2 Budget Estimates 2014-15


Introduction

The Premier and Cabinet cluster works for the people of New South Wales by supporting the

Premier and Cabinet and working with other clusters to drive the Government’s objectives under

NSW 2021, coordinate policy and services throughout the whole of government and enable effective stewardship of the public service. It provides thought leadership across the public sector, contributing a unifying intelligence to the system of government.

Until 24 February 2014, the Department of Premier and Cabinet Agency included the Office of

Environment and Heritage and the Office of Local Government, as separate divisions. Following the issue of the Administrative Arrangements Order 2014, commencing on that day, these divisions were transferred to standalone agencies.

Subsequent to this change, the new agencies along with the other agencies comprising the

Environment and Heritage portfolio, such as the Environment Protection Authority, will report the residual 2013-14 period projection (for the period 24 February to 30 June 2014) and the whole of 2014-15 Budget in the Planning and Environment cluster. This will be explained further in the next section.

The Premier and Cabinet cluster also oversees investment in infrastructure and coordinates

‘independent accountability organisations’ such as the Ombudsman’s Office and the Independent

Commission Against Corruption.

The Premier and Cabinet cluster is the lead or co-lead for achieving the following NSW 2021 goals:

 invest in critical infrastructure

 involve the community in decision-making on government policy, services and projects

 improve government transparency by increasing access to government information

 restore trust in state and local government as a service provider

 increase the competitiveness of doing business in New South Wales.

As the lead cluster in the NSW public sector, the Premier and Cabinet cluster:

 provides strategic policy advice on state and national issues to guide decision-making

 leads the Government’s agenda for change in New South Wales

 coordinates and leads departments to deliver key community programs

 manages machinery-of-government issues

 takes a lead in national policy and intergovernmental relations

 coordinates government services in rural and regional communities

Budget Estimates 2014-15 7 - 3


 drives the government-wide achievement of NSW 2021 goals

 contributes to an efficient, customer-focused public sector

 facilitates private sector partnerships and investment

 provides independent advice to help the Government identify and prioritise the delivery of critical public infrastructure across the state

 facilitates a whole-of-government approach to run major events and organise official events such as ceremonial occasions, State and official receptions and Head of Mission visits.

Services

The cluster’s key services are:

 supporting and coordinating the delivery of government priorities identified in

NSW 2021

 coordinating significant infrastructure and investment projects to support economic development

 applying the 20-year State Infrastructure Strategy to assess the State’s infrastructure needs and priorities

 monitoring and reviewing major capital projects worth over

$

100 million through

Infrastructure NSW, in partnership with the Treasury

 delivering the foreshore urban renewal project at Barangaroo

 delivering the Government’s ‘Simpler Government Services Plan’ and implementing a new

‘customer-centric’ one-stop-government service model through Service NSW

 supporting the Cabinet process and the Premier’s participation in meetings of the Council of

Australian Governments

 coordinating the activities of government agencies to ensure they are aligned at a regional level

 drafting and publishing legislation

 providing ministerial support

 using a whole-of-government approach for special events, which includes supporting the

Governor, Premier and Ministers

 supporting the Government’s commitment to red tape reduction.



2014-15 Budget Highlights

In 2014-15, the cluster’s key initiatives will include:



$

269 million for Service NSW, to convert and integrate motor registries into the Service NSW one-stop-shops and digital channels. With the transfer of other similar functions from agencies, including Births, Deaths and Marriages, Fair Trading and Environment & Heritage,

Service NSW will handle 800 transactions that were previously delivered across the various agencies delivering an enhanced NSW customer experience



$

19.5 million



$

3.0 million as the final contribution to successfully hosting the 2015 Asia Football Cup.

(a) Decreased expenditure in 2013-14 and further decrease in 2014-15 reflects the November 2013 renegotiations in the print media contracts. The 2013-14 Budget and the 2013-14 Revised amounts are the result of the previous contract, where the media suppliers invoiced DPC and then the costs were on charged to the relevant agencies. The new contract allows for the media outlets to bill directly to the government agencies, resulting in DPC’s expenses reducing.
