Overview

The Further Supplementary Appropriation (Works and Buildings) Act 1910–11 was enacted in 1912 by the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia to provide an appropriation of £58,492 from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the fiscal year ending 30 June 1911. This Act was introduced to address the need for additional funding to support various government works and buildings across different departments, including Home Affairs, Trade and Customs, Quarantine, Defence, and Post and Telegraphs. The policy objective of this Act was to ensure that these departments could proceed with necessary projects and infrastructure improvements, as outlined in the detailed schedule within the Act. The appropriation was to be distributed among various projects such as the establishment of the Military College for Australia, alterations to customs buildings, construction of rifle ranges, and improvements to post offices and telegraphs.

Scope and Application

The Further Supplementary Appropriation (Works and Buildings) Act 1910–11 pertains to the allocation of funds from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the fiscal year ending 30 June 1911. This Act specifically addresses the appropriation of £58,492 for various works and buildings under the purview of several departments within the Commonwealth of Australia. The funds are allocated across different government departments, including the Department of Home Affairs, the Postmaster-General's Department, and the Department of Defence. The allocated funds are designated for projects such as the establishment of a Military College, alterations to existing buildings, construction of new works like drill halls and rifle ranges, and improvements to post offices and telegraph and telephone lines. The geographic reach of this Act is nationwide, with projects distributed across multiple states, including New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, and Western Australia. This Act does not explicitly state any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, and its application is limited to the appropriation of the specified sum for the designated purposes without any mention of extension or restriction through subordinate instruments.

Key Provisions

The main sections of the Further Supplementary Appropriation (Works and Buildings) Act 1910–11 (C1912A00042) concern the appropriation of a sum of money from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the service of the year ended 30 June 1911. Section 1 allows the Act to be cited as the Further Supplementary Appropriation (Works and Buildings) Act 1910–11. Section 2 specifies that the sum of £58,492 is to be deemed appropriated for the purposes outlined in the Schedule to this Act, which includes various projects and works such as military establishments, defence provisions, and post and telegraph services. The Schedule provides a detailed breakdown of the allocation of funds among different departments and projects. The obligations imposed by this Act primarily involve the allocation and management of the appropriated funds. The Department of Home Affairs, the Postmaster-General's Department, and the Department of Defence are each assigned specific sums for various projects, including military establishments, defence provisions, and post and telegraph services. Each department must ensure that the funds are utilised in accordance with the provisions specified in the Schedule. This includes adhering to budgetary constraints and project timelines, as well as reporting on the expenditure of these funds. The Act does not explicitly outline specific offences, penalties, or consequences for breaches of its provisions. However, breaches of financial regulations and mismanagement of public funds generally fall under broader legislative frameworks that govern public sector financial management in Australia. Penalties for such breaches can include fines, imprisonment, or both, depending on the severity and circumstances of the breach. The maximum penalties can vary widely, but they are typically prescribed by the relevant financial administration legislation or other related Acts. For instance, the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 and the Crimes Act 1914 may provide the legal basis for prosecuting breaches related to public funds mismanagement.
