Appendix 2: Administrative structure of the
Department
The administrative structure of the department as at 30 June 2014 is represented on pages 8-11 of this
report. A current version is also available at the Department of State Development, Business and Innovation
website (dsdbi.vic.gov.au).
Appendix 3: Departmental objectives, indicators
and progress
As outlined in the 2013-14 Budget Paper No. 3 Service Delivery, the department’s objectives, indicators and
progress on those indicators are outlined below.
Assist businesses in accessing skilled workers to align with
Victoria’s industry needs
The indicator for this objective is ‘business skills needs assisted’.
The department’s Business Engagement Model underpins the way DSDBI interacts with industry.
Through this model, the department develops close working relationships with individual businesses to
enable the Government to better target support and tailor responses to the specific needs of businesses.
This includes training and re-training issues, labour market issues such as employee relations, labour
shortages, skilled migration, workforce development, redundancy/retrenchment and a range of skills-based
programs and services.
In 2013-14, the department:
 assisted 1,300 businesses with skills needs, exceeding the target of 1,200 businesses
 achieved 73 per cent of state sponsored skilled migrants working in their nominated field, exceeding the
70 per cent target
Department of State Development, Business and Innovation Annual Report 2013-14
129
 reduced the average processing time for state sponsorship of skilled migration applications to 17 days,
well below the target of 28 days
 met its annual target of 85 per cent client satisfaction with migration services provided.
Promote Victoria to attract tourists, investors and students
The indicator for this objective is ‘tourists, investors and students attracted’.
In 2013-14, the department:
 implemented a campaign to support the Open Up to More – Melbourne Campaign, as part of Victoria’s
China Tourism Strategy to attract Chinese visitors to the state
 continued to implement the Play Melbourne domestic marketing campaign in key interstate markets
 released Victoria’s 2020 Tourism Strategy and Victoria’s Regional Tourism Strategy 2013-2016
 developed the 2013-2016 Regional Tourism Partnership Program
 developed a cooperative marketing campaign with the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) and Australian
Centre for Moving Image (ACMI) to promote the 2013 Melbourne Winter Masterpieces. A total of 27 per
cent of attendees at Monet’s Garden (staged at NGV) and the Hollywood Costumes Exhibition (staged at
ACMI) were visitors from outside the state
 participated in Tourism Australia’s global Restaurant Australia Campaign.
International visitor expenditure in Victoria for the year ending March 2014 (latest available data) grew to
$4.8 billion compared to $4.5 billion in 2012-13, with strong growth from most key markets such as China.
Regional Victoria experienced an increase in domestic visitor expenditure to $7.2 billion in 2013-14 from $7
billion in 2012-13. Victoria experienced growth in the number of domestic overnight visitors to 19.1 million in
2013-14 from 17.8 million visitors in 2012-13.
Victoria has met its target of attracting 28 per cent of international students to Australia. In October 2013, the
Government released the IES which outlines an integrated approach to supporting Victorian providers so
they are best positioned to maintain market share into the longer term.
The department also met its target of four international marketing campaigns, with Victoria Week events held
in the UK, Dubai and Mumbai and China to promote the state’s trade and investment opportunities.
Support organisations to boost their productivity through
innovation
The indicator for this objective is ‘collaborations assisted’.
During 2013-14, the department launched several programs that directly contributed to this objective,
including:
 Driving Business Innovation Program – links Victorian businesses with opportunities to develop
innovative products and services for the Victorian public sector
 eServices Register – a new gateway that provides a simplified process for Victorian ICT companies
bidding for government work, and allows the Government to make more informed purchasing decisions
from a greater range of suppliers as well as monitor the range and scope of eServices engagements
 the $12 million Technology Innovation Fund – supports collaborative projects that harnessed new
technologies and transformed government service delivery, while responding to changing citizen
expectations and improving productivity in the public sector.
Department of State Development, Business and Innovation Annual Report 2013-14
130
In 2013-14, the department:
 provided 297 businesses with R&D assistance, exceeding its target of 180 businesses
 linked 691 companies to business networks, exceeding its target of 300 businesses.
The Government’s IVP and MPN Grants programs have been the main contributors to this indicator. The IVP
improves the capacity of Victorian SMEs to innovate in order to achieve greater productivity and
competitiveness. In 2013-14, 154 vouchers were awarded to assist companies to develop new products,
processes and services through access to R&D services and improved innovation skills. The MPN Program
encourages SMEs to cooperate in strategic areas of business and exploit opportunities beyond the reach of
each individual business. Over the year the program executed grants worth a total value of $1.7 million to 18
networks and 316 businesses.
Film Victoria also supported this objective indicator and significantly exceeded its 2013-14 targets,
supporting increased film, television and digital media productions worth $183 million, well above the annual
target of $75 million. These productions provided additional employment of 8,339 jobs, compared to a target
of 2,100 jobs.
Provide market intelligence and assistance to organisations
to make it easy to invest in Victoria
The indicators for this objective are ‘investment facilitated’ and ‘jobs derived’.
Attracting investment drives job creation, technology uptake, skill and product development and capital
growth – all of which are important contributors to the state’s economic strength. To secure investment, the
department provides a range of facilitation services, such as specialist advice and assistance with
development approvals, site identification services, and advice on infrastructure and utility provision.
In 2013-14 the department exceeded its targets for jobs and investment facilitated. The department attracted
$2.6 billion in capital investment compared to $2.2 billion in 2012-13. In 2013-14 it is expected that the
capital investment will generate 6,300 jobs compared to 4,737 jobs in 2012-13.
Over $1 billion of the investment in 2013-14 was facilitated from regional Victoria along with 2,910 jobs
compared to 1,937 jobs in 2012-13.
Major contributors to the 2013-14 results were investment by the Epworth Hospital, Alstom Australia and the
ALDP. Many of these investments were supported by the VGBOs and the regional offices.
Major Projects
The department is responsible for the delivery of complex, technically challenging and unique projects of
state significance. In 2013-14 the department was delivering 13 projects with a total state investment of $1.6
billion and a combined value of approximately $2.2 billion. These included the Melbourne Markets Relocation
Project, Melbourne Park Redevelopment, Shrine: Galleries of Remembrance, Parkville Gardens, Kew
Residential Services Project and the VEMTC.
The highlights in 2013-14 were the delivery of the VEMTC and the continued progress on the Shrine:
Galleries of Remembrance Project ahead of schedule.
MOG changes
As a result of MOG changes, the ‘energy and earth resources’ and ‘regional development and regional cities’
outputs were transferred to the department in 2013-14. These outputs and their measures were aligned with
Department of State Development, Business and Innovation Annual Report 2013-14
131
the ‘Provide market intelligence and assistance to organisations to make it easy to invest in Victoria’
objective for the 2013-14 financial year.
Energy and Earth Resources
Significant progress was made under the ALDP in 2013-14. This program funds the development of precommercial brown coal technologies to provide high-value energy products from Victoria’s vast coal reserves
for both domestic and export markets. The new projects will contribute $346 million to the ‘new investments
facilitated in regional Victoria’ measure.
During the 2013-14 year, the department held 24 stakeholder forums and community engagement sessions
compared to the target of 15 under the ‘delivery of stakeholder engagement information forums’ output
measure as part of the Clean Coal Victoria work program. The increased number of sessions was to engage
the community and provide more information about the possible future development of onshore natural gas
including coal seam gas.
During 2013-14, the department’s corporate objectives and performance measures structure was reviewed
to reflect the work under the energy and resources output.
Regional Development and Regional Cities
RDV continues to implement the $1 billion RGF to drive investment and jobs in regional Victoria. In 2013-14
regional Victoria generated over $1 billion of new investment, representing more than 40 per cent of the
statewide result. A total of 2,910 jobs were created in regional Victoria in 2013-14 which is over 45 per cent
of the state total and an increase from 1,937 jobs created in 2012-13.
Projects approved under the Economic Infrastructure and Putting Locals First Programs exceeded their
targets for 2013-14, demonstrating the calibre of projects put forward and increased awareness of these
programs through effective stakeholder management.
Create more opportunities for Victorian businesses to grow
and become more productive and competitive in the global
marketplace
The indicators for this objective are ‘exports facilitated’ and ’businesses engaged and assisted’.
The value of exports facilitated and imports replaced grew to $1.9 billion in 2013-14 compared to $1.55
billion in 2012-13 due to strong outcomes from trade missions facilitated by the department in 2013-14,
including four STMs (India, China, South-East Asia, the Middle East and Turkey). The number of businesses
participating in export programs also increased to 2,839 businesses in 2013-14 from 2,685 in 2012-13.
The department engaged with 13,000 businesses in 2013-14 exceeding the target of 12,000. New
organisational arrangements led to an improvement in delivery during the second half of the financial year.
Business engagement builds close working relationships with individual businesses to enable the
Government to better target support and tailor responses to the specific needs of businesses to invest, grow
and export. The department uses the business intelligence collected from this engagement to work with firms
to address enterprise level constraints, and work with other departments and agencies to resolve more
systemic issues. This information also informs the department’s advocacy and policy advice in areas of
regulation, infrastructure and labour and skills policy.

Business Victoria Online (BVO) supports businesses to save time and money on compliance, solve business
problems and develop skills to help them grow. In 2013-14, business interactions through BVO significantly
exceeded expectations with nearly 1.2 million interactions compared to 736,000 in 2012-13.
The Office of the Victorian Small Business Commissioner also assists small and medium businesses with
dispute resolution and aims to promote a competitive and fair operating environment for Victorian
businesses. In 2013-14 the office received a client satisfaction rating of over 90 per cent exceeding its target
of 80 per cent. The proportion of business disputes presented to the Commissioner successfully mediated
was over 80 per cent in 2013-14 which also exceeded its target of 75 per cent.

Financial performance
The department’s net result from transactions in 2014 was a surplus of $38.8 million compared with a
surplus of $14.8 million in 2013. The surplus in 2014 is largely due to timing differences relating to trust
income received in the year but the associated expenditure is planned for the following year.
Total income from transactions increased by $320.1 million from the prior year as a result of the incoming
RDV and Energy and Earth Resources functions. In addition, there were increased sales for the Kew
Residential Services Project and trust income.
Total expenses from transactions increased by $296.1 million from the prior year as a result of the incoming
portfolios mentioned above. Consistent with the increase in revenue, for the Kew Residential Services
Project there was an increase in the cost of sales.
Total assets increased by $379.2 million mainly due to an increase in cash deposits associated with the RGF
that came across with the RDV functions. There was also an increase in property, plant and equipment, land
acquisitions and expenditure on the Melbourne Markets Relocation Project.
Department of State Development, Business and Innovation Annual Report 2013-14
140
Total liabilities increased by $54.1 million mainly due to an increase in trade creditors and employee
entitlements, reflecting the larger size of the department.

assistance provided in 2013-14 was as follows:

Appendix 7: Consultancies
In 2013-14, definitions of a contractor and consultant were changed in Financial Reporting Direction 22E.
The department has applied these definitions for reporting purposes. The changed definitions mean that
comparisons with previous annual report’s data are no longer valid. The new definitions are:
 Contractor - A contractor is an individual or organisation that is formally engaged to provide works or
services for or on behalf of an entity. This definition does not include casual, fixed-term or temporary
employees employed by the entity
 Consultant - A consultant is a particular type of contractor that is engaged primarily to perform a discrete
task for an entity that facilitates decision making through a) provision of expert analysis and advice;
and/or b) development of a written report or other intellectual output.
Summary of consultancies
In 2013-14, there were 40 consultancies where the total fees payable to the consultants were $10,000 or
greater (excluding GST). The total expenditure incurred during 2013-14 in relation to these consultancies
was $8.2 million (excluding GST). Details of individual consultancies can be found at the Department of
State Development, Business and Innovation website.
In 2013-14, there were 29 consultancies where the total fees payable to the consultants were less than
$10,000 (excluding GST). The total expenditure incurred during 2013-14 in relation to these consultancies
was $172,000 (excluding GST).

The department’s goal is to foster a health and safety culture and environment that will protect its people
from workplace illness and injuries.
OH&S strategic objectives are:
 proactive initiatives to build a culture of health, safety and wellbeing
 integrating corporate health and OH&S programs
 increased education and information to ensure all managers and employees are supported to effectively
manage their OH&S responsibilities
 early intervention and an increased focus on effectively managing workplace injuries.
The department recognises that achieving these objectives requires the commitment of everyone – leaders,
people managers and employees. The department will continue to reinforce health and safety accountability
at all levels to embed health and safety as part of the way DSDBI does business. Building this culture
requires effective and meaningful consultation with employees on OH&S issues, enabling everyone to
contribute to decisions that may affect their health, safety and wellbeing at work.
The department continues to support goals by providing managers and employees with appropriate OH&S
information, effective systems to prevent injury, and proactive holistic strategies that focus on health and
wellbeing. Accordingly, the department has undertaken a range of initiatives over the past 12 months,
including:
 the completion of ‘Wellbeing and Work’, the department’s OH&S Strategy 2012-14
 680 employees trained through the Building Professional Workplaces in the department’s program to
complement and build on the Professional Workplace Framework
 restructure of DWGs to account for MOG changes
 implementation of mandatory OH&S managers training for current and new people managers
 improved instructions for emergency wardens and further development of the Personal Emergency
Evacuation Plan process for mobility-impaired employees
 ongoing provision of a holistic Health and Wellbeing Program, which includes regular seminars,
education, an online program and telephone health coaching services
 369 employees and 28 executives underwent a comprehensive preventative health assessment
 60 per cent of employees had an annual flu vaccination
 quarterly meetings of the department’s OH&S Committee to discuss and review health and safety risks,
consider policy issues and develop proactive OH&S strategies; committee activities are further supported
by a detailed OH&S planning calendar
 successful management of three Return to Work Plans.
The department has maintained its strong record in providing a safe and healthy work environment, as
demonstrated by an improved WorkCover performance.

Public administration values and employment principles
Driving public sector values
The department is committed to driving an organisational culture that attracts, develops, motivates and
retains a diverse team of talented, high-performing employees.
The Code of Conduct is reinforced to new employees of the department by an online learning module and
through the department’s On-boarding and Induction Guide. The online module explores ethical issues, and
promotes understanding and awareness of the rights, responsibilities and behaviours expected of VPS
employees. Completion of this module is a pre-requisite for confirmation of appointment following a
probationary period.
Agency personnel engaged through the seven VPS-approved Master Vendors are advised, prior to
commencing employment with the department, that they are expected to abide by the Code of Conduct and
the department’s values.
There is a discrete site on the department intranet to inform contractors and consultants engaged by the
department of their obligation to comply with the Code of Conduct, the department’s values and relevant
policies and procedures.
Information in relation to public sector conduct and the VPS employment principles is promoted via policies
on the intranet and through expert advice provided by Human Resources.
Organisational values
The department has embraced the values - accountability, respect, responsiveness, integrity, impartiality and
leadership - which are outlined in the Public Administration Act 2004, to guide employee behaviour and
promote a productive and inclusive culture.
The values are progressively being embedded into a range of human resource activities, including:
 performance management systems (both executive and non-executive)
 position descriptions for job advertisements
 relevant learning and development programs.
The department recognises that living these values will help to create a high-performance workplace that is
characterised by positive relationships and respect for others.
Selection on merit/exemptions from advertisement
Recruitment and selection processes uphold merit and equity and are fully operational within the department.
Policies, guidelines and associated documentation enshrining merit and equity continue to be promoted
through training, marketing material and expert advice provided by Human Resources.
The authority to exempt vacancies from advertisement rests with the Secretary and/or authorised delegates
in prescribed circumstances.
Dispute settlement
The department’s dispute settlement process provides for disputes arising from a number of areas, including
actions arising from section 64 of the Public Administration Act 2004. The department’s procedures provide
Department of State Development, Business and Innovation Annual Report 2013-14
223
for early intervention and informal resolution processes to be utilised wherever possible. There were no
formal disputes accepted and settled through formal processes in 2013-14.
Diversity
The department is committed to employing people with a diverse range of backgrounds and perspectives,
and recognises the invaluable contribution that these differences make to the department.
Over the last year, the department’s Diversity Program has developed, coordinated and promoted a broad
range of initiatives aimed at increasing engagement with diverse employee populations, including Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islanders, culturally and linguistically diverse employees, and people with a disability.
Women’s affairs
The department’s internal Women’s Network Forums promote the continued development of female
employees. The forums provide opportunities to hear from female leaders about their experiences as well as
opportunities for discussion and networking with colleagues across the department.
Guest speakers in in 2013-14 included Sandra Denis, Deputy Secretary, Energy and Earth Resources and
Janet Dore, CEO of the Transport Accident Commission.
Indigenous communities
The department’s updated Aboriginal Employment Plan 2014-15 was launched in March 2014. The plan
continues to align with Karreeta Yirramboi, the Victorian Aboriginal Public Sector Employment and Career
Development Action Plan, and includes four areas for action:
 employment pathways and programs at the department
 attraction, recruitment and selection processes
 supportive and inclusive working environments
 opportunities for career development.
Additional highlights in 2013-14 included:
 the launch of the department’s Aboriginal Inclusion Action Plan in March 2014
 celebration of NAIDOC Week though a combined event with the Department of Transport Planning and
Local Infrastructure, and Department of Justice
 recruitment undertaken for the 2015 graduate cohort through the Aboriginal Pathways to the VPS
Graduate Recruitment and Development Scheme
 all employees invited to express their interest in Indigenous Cultural Awareness Training with
opportunities commencing in 2014-15.
Youth Employment Scheme
The department has participated in YES – formerly known as the Victoria works for Young People Program –
since its inception, and remains committed to meeting youth employment goals and targets each year.
In 2013-14, the department accepted 20 traineeship placements across its offices. The majority of YES
trainees are in the administrative, information technology and clerical categories, with trainees undertaking
diverse roles that provide valuable on-the-job training.
Department of State Development, Business and Innovation Annual Report 2013-14
224
The department will continue to actively participate in the scheme to help build trainees’ skills and provide
employment opportunities for young people.
Culturally and linguistically diverse communities
The department’s Cultural Diversity Plan reflects its commitment to harnessing the economic benefits of
diversity by ensuring:
 the department’s programs and services pay due regard to cultural diversity in terms of awareness,
access and utilisation
 cultural diversity is recognised and promoted in current and future programs as an asset that encourages
growth and development
 the department’s internal processes, systems and practices reflect a best-practice approach to cultural
diversity.
The department provides a full report on its initiatives and achievements in multicultural affairs annually to
the Victorian Multicultural Commission as required by the Multicultural Victoria Act 2011.
Graduate recruitment and development scheme
The Victorian Public Service Graduate Recruitment and Development Scheme (GRADS) provides the
department with a valuable source of high-potential candidates with a variety of academic qualifications and
experience.
The department recruited five graduates for the 2013 program and gained an additional three graduates due
to MOG changes.
Following successful completion of the 12-month program in January 2014, seven graduates returned to the
department and were appointed to VPS Grade 3 positions.
The department has recruited seven graduates as part of the 2014 intake and will host a further 14
graduates on rotation during the course of the 2014 program.
Mentoring program
Mentoring is often cited by corporate and government leaders as a key factor in successful workforce
capability development. The department has implemented a Mentoring Program to build and to achieve
personal, professional and organisational goals. This program has been running since 2002-03 and, in 201314, attracted 64 participants (32 mentees and their mentors) representing about 6 per cent of the workforce.
The focus of the 2013-14 Mentoring Program was to inspire VPS mentees to strive for higher levels of
performance through the development of an ongoing relationship with a senior leader, an EO who can
support the mentee to realise their professional goals and career opportunities.
Learning and development
During the 2013-14 financial year, 389 participants attended 54 departmental and interdepartmental learning
and development workshops.
Department of State Development, Business and Innovation Annual Report 2013-14

Superannuation scheme
Department employees who commenced before 1994 are members of defined benefits schemes such as the
Revised, New or Transport schemes. These schemes are administered by the Government Superannuation
Office, now an operating division of Emergency Services and State Superannuation. Since 1994, all new
employees are able to nominate to have their employer contributions made to any complying accumulation
fund of their choice, including VicSuper.
Compliance with the Carers Recognition Act 2012
The Carers Recognition Act 2012 requires that all State Government Departments responsible for
developing or providing policies, programs or services that affect people in care relationships report on how
they met their obligations under the Act in their annual report (s.12).
During 2013-14, the department has continued to promote workplace flexibility for all employees, including
those in care relationships. Further work will be undertaken during the 2014-15 financial year to make
additional resources available to employees and their managers.
Appendix 11: Human rights and responsibilities
charter
The Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 (the Charter) applies to all public authorities,
including government departments and agencies.
The Charter reinforces the protection of fundamental human rights and ensures that human rights are taken
into account by the Government when it makes administrative decisions.
The department has a process for the assessment of new legislation and policies for their compatibility with
the Charter.
Staff in the department participate in human rights training upon induction, and ongoing education about
human rights is encouraged and promoted.
Appendix 12: International Victorian Government
Business Offices
The VGBO overseas network comprises 17 representative offices in strategic locations. In 2013-14, a new

Agent-General and Commissioners are administered under the Agent-General and Commissioners for
Victoria Act 2007.
The international VGBOs work in partnership with the department to facilitate foreign direct investment,

Appendix 13: Implementation of the Victorian
Industry Participation Policy
The Victorian Industry Participation Policy Act 2003 requires Victorian Government departments and public
sector bodies to report on the implementation of the Victorian Industry Participation Policy (VIPP).
Departments and public sector bodies are required to apply VIPP in all procurement activities valued at $3
million or more in metropolitan Melbourne and for statewide projects, or $1 million or more for procurement
activities in regional Victoria.
During 2013-14, the department commenced one contract which met or exceeded VIPP thresholds. A VIPP
plan was not required for this procurement as it was local by nature, with an estimated 100 per cent local
content.
The department did not commence or complete any other procurement activities which met or exceeded
VIPP thresholds in 2013-14.
There were no projects that were commenced prior to the implementation of VIPP reforms on 1 January
2013 that were completed in 2013-14.
During 2013-14, the Industry Capability Network had 20 conversations with the department’s grant recipients
and one conversation regarding design contracts for departmental projects that correspond with the
registration and issuing of an Interaction Reference Number.
Appendix 14: Office-based environmental
impacts
The following information has been prepared in accordance with FRD 24C of the Financial Management Act
1994 which requires information to be reported for sites with 10 or more FTE staff.
Through MOG changes in 2013, a number of office sites are new to the department for this financial year.
There are also a number of sites that are no longer being used by the department due to office location
changes.

Explanatory notes
 The above data is derived from four waste audits that were conducted by an external auditor over five
day periods at 121 Exhibition Street, Melbourne
 Conducting four waste audits at the 121 Exhibition Street office goes beyond the requirements of FRD
24C. However, extracting annual data from these limited sampling events is still not statistically
representative and should be read with caution
Department of State Development, Business and Innovation Annual Report 2013-14
248
 There was not a strong correlation between waste consumption and the number of FTE at 121 Exhibition
Street at the time of each audit
 The data presented above excludes the items recycled by Green Collect and Cart Collect.
Actions undertaken during the year to reduce waste
 An awareness campaign was implemented to increase awareness and understanding of what waste
items can be recycled and which bin they should be placed in
 Waste bin signage was updated across the department, reflecting changes to recycling services and
processes
 Site visits were conducted to the department’s regional offices to identify opportunities for improvement in
waste management. A key action resulting from the assessments has been to ensure these offices have
the facilities to recycle their compost, paper, toners, e-waste and other general recyclable items such as
plastics, glass, CDs and batteries
 Unwanted office waste such as CDs, batteries, e-waste and stationery was collected by Green Collect
from the department’s 121 Exhibition Street office for upcycling and recycling. Regional staff from the
department’s newer offices also began sending their office waste to head office for the Green Collect
service
 Old mobile phones were donated to the Melbourne Zoo’s They’re Calling On You Program. Used printer
toner cartridges were donated to Cart Collect for recycling
 All departmental staff have paper and landfill bins for their desks to assist in the correct sorting of waste.
An awareness campaign was run to reiterate the correct use of the bins
 An awareness campaign was run to raise staff awareness of the waste issues associated with purchasing
disposable paper coffee cups.
2014-15 targets
 Continue to visit the department’s offices to assess and improve waste management performance
 Continue to upcycle and recycle department office materials that can no longer be used
 Donate all business phones to the Melbourne Zoo’s They’re Calling on You Program
 Continue to educate and communicate with staff to reduce the total amount of waste produced by the
department, and to improve waste recycling rates.

Explanatory notes
 The department’s procurement policy prescribes that white A4 paper purchased by the department must
be Australian made and must have a minimum of 80 per cent recycled content. Exempt from this policy is
the purchase of Nallawilli Copy Paper by the department’s Indigenous Economic Development for Small
Business Team. This exemption accords with Schedule 2 of the Victorian State Purchasing Contract
which supports purchases from indigenous enterprises that are certified as members of Supply Nation
 No paper data was available for the Wangaratta office.
Actions undertaken during the year to reduce waste
 The department implemented standard monthly paper orders in 121 Exhibition Street, reducing the
number of people able to order paper and also limiting the choices to 80 per cent recycled content paper
for both A4 and A3 sizes
 Internal articles were published which detailed how many reams were used by the department last year
and the impact paper use has on the environment
 Site visits were conducted to the department’s regional offices to identify opportunities for improvement in
paper management. A key action resulting from the visits has been to ensure these offices have
appropriate facilities and processes to recycle their paper and card waste
 Old stationery items and letterhead that could not be reused were donated to Green Collect for recycling.
Collection of these items continues.
2014-15 targets
 Continue to raise awareness of the need to maintain departmental site printers for automatic black and
white printing and duplex printing
 Continue to monitor the purchasing of white A4 and A3 paper to ensure it is maintained at a minimum of
80 per cent recycled content
 Implement regular paper reduction campaigns, including posters and Environment Champion actions
 Continue to visit departmental offices to assess and improve their paper use performance
 Continue to donate all unwanted stationery and letterhead to Green Collect.

Explanatory notes
 Data was not available for all FRD 24C sites and all periods
 A majority of the department’s water usage is not separately metered. Water usage at sites without
separate meters is apportioned as per the square metre of building occupancy
 The largest factor influencing water consumption at 121 Exhibition Street, the office with the highest
number of departmental staff, is the consistency of operation of the building’s black water treatment plant.
Department of State Development, Business and Innovation Annual Report 2013-14

When functioning, the recycled water is used to flush the toilets, therefore reducing the amount of potable
(drinking) water used.
Actions undertaken during the year to reduce water use
 Explored a water saving initiative with the shared services provider who manages departmental tenancies
 Improved water data gathering processes to enable greater statistical validity and increased data
confidence levels.
2014-15 targets
 Amend procurement policy to ensure that only appliances with a minimum 3.5 star energy and water
rating can be purchased for departmental offices
 Investigate water saving opportunities at regional and metropolitan departmental sites
 Continue to work with the shared services provider to upgrade leased sites so that the offices are more
water efficient.

Explanatory notes
 The basis of the travel survey measurements has changed from source location to work location and only
the aggregate is comparable
 Staff use of departmental fleet vehicles and State Government pool vehicles has been separated as a
different methodology has been used to calculate the environmental impact of each vehicle pool
Due to
MOG changes, the department has significantly increased its fleet size and the mix of vehicles now
includes significantly more non-hybrid vehicles. The fleet size increased from 21 vehicles to 124 vehicles
 The amount of international flights taken by departmental staff increased last year. This is due to the 16
trade missions conducted during 2013-14. The trade missions are central to the Government’s increased
focus on growing the state’s exports and the state’s long-term international engagement activities. The
department’s Trade Mission Program aims to connect Victorian businesses with opportunities in global
markets through a sustained, large scale and targeted trade and investment program
 Staff travel only considers survey data between Monday to Friday, when the vast majority of staff are
working.

Appendix 17: Compliance and Attestations
Compliance with the Building Act 1993
All Victorian Government departments and funded agencies are required to comply with the requirements of
the Building Act 1993, the Building Code of Australia and statutory obligations set by Government.
The Building Act 1993 applies to construction, demolition, removal and refurbishment of capital projects, and
the Building Code of Australia relates to standards set for building regulations.
Compliance with Datavic Access Policy
Consistent with the DataVic Access Policy issued by the Victorian Government in 2012, the tabular
information included in this Annual Report will be available at the Victorian Government Data Directory
website (data.vic.gov.au) in machine readable format.
Compliance with the Disability Act 2006
The Disability Act 2006 requires that all public sector bodies prepare a disability action plan and that
departments report on the implementation of their plan in their annual report (s.38).
The department’s Disability Action Plan 2012-2015 outlines the actions that the department will take to
address potential barriers for people with disabilities and includes four key principles that the department:
 is accessible to all customers, stakeholders and staff with a disability
 recognises the significant value of employing and retaining people with a disability
 recognises, includes and promotes the participation of people with a disability in the department’s
programs and in the community
 has a shared accountability for reducing issues and barriers to people with a disability.
A highlight in 2013-14 was the celebration of International Day of People with Disability. The department
assisted in organising a VPS-wide event featuring television personality and comedian, Tim Ferguson. Tim
was joined by a panel of high-profile speakers for a question and answer session following his speech.
Compliance with National Competition Policy
Under the National Competition Policy, the guiding legislative principle is that legislation, including future
legislative proposals, should not restrict competition unless it can be demonstrated that:
 the benefits of the restriction to the community as a whole outweigh the costs
 the objectives of the legislation can only be achieved by restricting competition.
The department continues to comply with the requirements of the National Competition Policy.
Competitive neutrality requires government businesses to ensure where services compete, or potentially
compete with the private sector, any advantage arising solely from their government ownership be removed
if they are not in the public interest. Government businesses are required to cost and price these services as
if they were privately owned and thus be fully cost reflective. Competitive Neutrality Policy provides
government businesses with a tool to enhance decisions on resource allocation. This policy does not
override other policy objectives of government and focuses on efficiency in the provision of service.

Compliance with the Protected Disclosure Act 2012
(formerly the Whistleblowers Protection Act 2001)
The Protected Disclosure Act 2012 encourages and assists people in making disclosures of improper
conduct by public officers and public bodies. The Act provides protection to people who make disclosures in
accordance with the Act and establishes a system for the matters disclosed to be investigated and rectifying
action to be taken.
The department does not tolerate improper conduct by employees, nor the taking of reprisals against those
who come forward to disclose such conduct. It is committed to ensuring transparency and accountability in
its administrative and management practices and supports the making of disclosures that reveal corrupt
conduct, conduct involving a substantial mismanagement of public resources, or conduct involving a
substantial risk to public health and safety or the environment.
The department will take all reasonable steps to protect people who make such disclosures from any
detrimental action in reprisal for making the disclosure. It will also afford natural justice to the person who is
the subject of the disclosure to the extent it is legally possible.
Reporting procedures
Disclosures of improper conduct or detrimental action by the department or any of its employees and/or
officers may be made to any of the following department personnel:
 the Protected Disclosure Coordinator
 the Secretary of the department
 a manager or supervisor of a person from the department who chooses to make a disclosure
 a manager or supervisor of a person from the department about whom a disclosure has been made.
Alternatively, disclosures of improper conduct or detrimental action by the department or any of its
employees and/or officers may also be made directly to the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption
Commission (IBAC):
Level 1, North Tower, 459 Collins Street
Melbourne VIC 3000
Phone: 1300 735 135
IBAC website (ibac.vic.gov.au)
