Mr. Buswell requests energy and water consumption data for specific years. The response indicates that detailed energy information is already publicly available for larger agencies, but granular data for smaller entities and water usage is not readily accessible due to resource constraints and billing practices.

(1-2) Detailed information regarding energy consumption is already provided to the parliament. Energy consumption profiles of all general government sector agencies with 25 or more FTEs is detailed in the Energy Smart Government reports for 2002/03, 2003/04, 2004/05 and 2005/06 that have been tabled in Parliament and are available from the Parliamentary Library and the Sustainable Energy Development Office. Identifying the electricity consumption of agencies or offices below this threshold would be resource intensive. In relation to water usage, the State Government is conscious of the need to conserve water and has encouraged installation of water saving measures in Government owned and leased premises. These measures include the introduction of dual flush toilets, waterless urinals and water flow restrictions to hand basins. In relation to specific water usage of each agency and their individual offices, this information is not available as in a majority of cases, water charges are included as part of a general charge for outgoings and usage is not communicated to individual tenants of multi tenanted buildings. SBDC (1-2) Please refer to answer above. Ministerial Office (1-2) Please refer to answer above. Federal-State Relations (1-2) The answer will be provided by the Minister for Federal-State Relations.
