The agency answers to this and related questions are expected to cover all expenditures including day to day costs such as system maintenance and licence fees. Across all agencies expenditure would have been in excess of $10m per annum more if the shared services model was not being introduced.
Estimates Committee Supplementary Information Question 42 was recently answered and had a much narrower focus in that it asked for the names and numbers of departments that did not comply with the directive by the Director General DPC as to the need for agencies to consider deferring any decision to upgrade or replace corporate service systems. Hence, the figures in the two sets of answers cannot be directly compared.
Albany Port Authority

These types of costs are not proportioned back to ARA from LandCorp, consequently there are no costs for ARA.

DPI
The responses provided below cover both the Department for Planning and Infrastructure (DPI) and the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) as the work of the WAPC is performed by DPI staff.
The responses depict annual rather than six monthly figures as this more accurately reflects agency reporting and the way in which licences etc fall due.
The responses relate solely to finance systems costs. The DPI and the WAPC do not own licences for payroll (and HR) systems but, instead, utilise the services of an ASP (Application Service Provider). This entails the agency paying a fee per employee per payroll rather than paying for upgrades, renewals or new software.
