Financial performance at a glance
The department recorded a favourable net result of $36.2 million in 202122, compared with the unfavourable net result of $18.1 million estimated in the revised budget.
This favourable variance is mainly due to actual revenue exceeding the revised revenue budget by $35.0 million. This is mainly attributable to the revaluation of data held in the South Australian Integrated Land Information System (SAILIS). This asset was revalued from $264.1 million at 30 June 2021 to $316.5 million at 30 June 2022. The impact of this revaluation resulted in income of $30.8 million being reported as a gain on revaluation (with the balance reported against the asset revaluation surplus). This is detailed further in note 5.3 of the financial statements. The remainder of the revenue variance is due to additional fees and charges being received.
The favourable variance is also due to actual expenses being lower than the revised expenses budget by $19.3m. The majority of this underspend relates to funding which the department will seek to carry forward into 2022-23.
