2005–06 Performance

Average Cost

The total cost of the Authority's operations for the 12 months under review was $7.546 million, compared to an expenditure limit of $8.774 million. There were 227 submissions compared to the target of 200.

The average cost per submission of $33,200 was well below the expected average of $43,900.

The combination of expenditure, which was under the approved expenditure limit used to set the target, and the number of submissions, which was well above target, resulted in the average cost of each submission being below target.

Compared to the previous financial year, the average cost per submission has increased due to an increase in the cost of operations of $882,000 and there were 31 fewer submissions.
