Australian Government Property Data Collection Attachment B: Cost Data Specifications Cost File 2013-14 All italicised words are defined terms, the definitions of which are provided in the PRODAC dictionary or in the data element specifications. These specifications are to be read in conjunction with the Property File specifications. Scope Each agency must provide specified data for buildings in which the agency leased or owned 500 m2 or more of usable office area at any time during the reporting period, unless the building is located overseas or is an Exempt Military or Intelligence Property. This scope includes office properties, special purpose properties and other types of property located in Australia or Australia’s external territories. The financial information reported is to be actuals, based on accrual accounting and exclusive of GST. All data must be collected and collated in accordance with these specifications and submitted using PRODAC Online at http://prodac.c3hosted.com/. Cost File The Cost File is made up of two datasets – Cost and Administration Cost. Each agency is to report the following data for the reporting period for each building. Refer to the Property File for the building data elements that must be reported for each building. Cost data set elements E02: Building identifier C01: Rent expense C02: Lessor’s outgoings expense C03: Repair and maintenance expense C04: Energy expense C05: Water and sewerage expense C06: Cleaning and waste removal expense C07: Other operating expense C08: Relocation and minor refurbishments expense C09: Depreciation and amortisation expense Page 1 of 21 PRODAC Cost File 2013-14 Attachment B C10: Write down and impairment of assets expense C11: Net losses from disposal of asset expense C12: Revenue C13: Gains C14: Tenancy area variation o Net Lettable area – July to June o Leased-out area – July to June C15: Agency comment Note: E20: Tenancy identifier is no longer required. Tenancy area variation: if the NLA or Leased-out area in a tenancy changed at any point during the reporting period, the agency will need to report monthly NLAs and Leased-out areas for that property. This would only occur if a lease or sublease commenced, ended or was subject to an area variation during the reporting period. Administration Cost data set elements C16: Administration expense aggregated at the agency level o Average Staffing Level (ASL) – Graduate to SES3 o Total costs – Graduate to SES3 o Travel costs o Training costs o Property management services o Other contractors and consultants o PRODAC buildings – Total Net Lettable Area (NLA) o PRODAC buildings – Number of buildings o Non-PRODAC buildings – Total Net Lettable Area (NLA) o Non-PRODAC buildings – Number of buildings o Preferred allocation method Derived Elements Agencies are not required to provide data on the following list of elements. These derived elements are calculated by Finance using the data collected from agencies. DC01: Total operating expenses DC02: Total tenancy expenses DC03: Net tenancy expenses DC04: Tenancy type DC05: Cost per square metre DC06: Cost per workpoint DC07: Cost per occupied workpoint Page 2 of 21 PRODAC Cost File 2013-14 Attachment B Dictionary The following definitions apply for the purposes of the Australian Government Property Data Collection (PRODAC). Each data element and derived element is also a defined term, where the definition is contained within the data specifications for the element. Definitions listed in the PRODAC property file specifications also apply for the purpose of these specifications. Building assets Include: Exclude: Notes: Leasehold improvements, flooring, floor coverings, suspended ceilings, painting/finishing of surfaces, signage, window treatments, fit-out, fittings.

ICT specific fit-out items such as ICT racks, LANs, etc. Scientific equipment or measurement equipment other than building control systems. An item is a building asset if it is included above, irrespective of whether it is used for an operational activity or is located in an office, non-office area or leased-out area. Items of building assets are classified as either a minor asset or a capitalised asset. Capitalised, in relation to an asset, means an asset from which the agency expects to receive economic benefits during more than one financial year. Contingent rent means contingent rent as defined in AASB 117: Leases. Contingent rents include variable rent escalations (such as CPI increases) and market rent reviews. Integrated security system means a security system that forms part of the fixed building fit-out and is capitalised as part of that building’s fit-out cost. Lessor in relation to a property, means the entity from which the agency directly leases the property. The lessor is either the owner of the property or the head lessee where the agency leases the property under a sublease, memorandum of understanding or similar arrangement. Page 3 of 21 PRODAC Cost File 2013-14 Attachment B Minimum lease payment means minimum lease payment as defined in AASB 117: Leases. Minimum lease payments include base rent and fixed rent escalations. Minor asset means a low value asset that the agency has expensed directly in the agency’s income statement. Reporting period means the 2013-14 financial year, from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014. Tenancy is one building in which an agency occupies or has a right to occupy space under one or more leases. Where one or more buildings covered by a single lease; or a complex of owned buildings located on a single site, costs should be reported per building or apportioned based on the Net Lettable Area for each building covered by the lease.

If an agency has more than one building under a lease, the costs should be reported for each building. (‘Multiple’ is no longer used for this element).

If a staff member spends 75 per cent of their time on property tasks and the remainder on security tasks, the ASL is 0.75. This is then multiplied by the average staff cost for a person at that staff member’s level to determine the ASL cost. In the ‘Total cost per ASL’ column report the full year average cost for 1 ASL per the particular level.

If C14 = ‘Variation’, D01avg = ∑ D01all months ÷ 12 DC05 = DC03 ÷ D01avg Units/Format: Australian dollars per square metre ($nnnn/m2) Cost per workpoint (DC06) Derivation: For each of an agency’s ‘mainly office’ tenancies: Net tenancy expenses divided by workpoints Formulas: DC06 = DC03 ÷ WP Notes: Format: Australian dollars per workpoint ($nnnnn/WP) Cost per occupied workpoint (DC06) Derivation: For each of an agency’s ‘mainly office’ tenancies: Net tenancy expenses divided by occupied workpoints Formulas: DC07 = DC03 ÷ OWP Notes: Format: Australian dollars per workpoint ($nnnnn/OWP) Page 21 of 21
