This response covers the passenger and light commercial vehicle fleet owned by State Fleet (Department of Treasury and Finance). Expenditure figures for the 2008?09 and 2009-10 financial years are based on actual expenditure for purchase price, finance costs, depreciation and resale (directly from State Fleet records) and estimated expenditure for fuel costs, maintenance costs, insurance, registration and management fees derived from information provided by contracted suppliers (e.g. fuel companies and Fleet Managers).
The majority (approximately 95%) of passenger and light commercial vehicles used by general government agencies are owned by State Fleet. These vehicles are leased to agencies on an operating lease basis. A number of public corporations also lease vehicles through State Fleet.
(1) Total expenditure in 2008-09 was an estimated $392.9 million. Total expenditure in 2009-10 was an estimated $351.7 million. A breakdown of these expenses is at (6).
(2) [see Tabled Paper No.].
(3) For operational reasons State Fleet does not make its vehicle asset register publicly available. For instance a number of agencies (e.g. Police) use vehicles for covert operations or functions that require strict vehicle anonymity.
(4) 2008-09: $171.3 million. 2009-10: $133.9 million.
(5) Refer (6).
(6) [see Tabled Paper No.]
