Appendix F: Correction of material errors in previous annual report

  • Table 4—The reported satisfaction percentages for ICT Services and Visitor/Art Services in 2015–16, were incorrectly reported as 94.40 per cent and 83.30 per cent rather than 91.8 per cent and 94.4 per cent, respectively. This has been updated in this year’s annual report. This did not affect the overall result.
  • Water consumption—some ‘Building and Landscape’ water consumption figures, including Parliament House’s, were transposed in the 2016–17 Annual Report.
    • The landscape and building water consumption figures were incorrectly shown as follows:
      1. Figure 20—Landscape and Building water consumption figures and illustrated bar graph from 2006–07 to 2015–16 were incorrectly formatted, resulting in the displayed colours being transposed. The volumes were correct.
      2. Figure 21—the 2016–17 volume of landscape water use was 101,721 KL,
        not 96,725 KL.
  • Table 42—‘Parliament House building’ energy in 2016–17 was 144,807 GJ not 144,385 GJ. The difference is due to a correction in electricity data provided by the energy retailer ActewAGL. (Footnote 55)
  • Table 42—‘Total Energy consumption’ in 2016–17 was 145,853 GJ not 145,431 GJ.
    The difference is due to a correction in electricity data provided by the energy retailer ActewAGL. (Footnote 58)
  • Table 43—'Total Emissions' in 2016–17 was 28,313 tonnes CO2e, not 28,200 tonnes CO2e. The difference is due to a correction in electricity data provided by the energy retailer ActewAGL.
  • Figure 23—the waste figures were transposed.
  • Table 14—reported 759,005 visitors to Parliament House. An error in data entry meant that the recorded monthly data for March 2017 was incorrectly reported as 73,591. The entry has now been corrected to 64,591. The correct number of visitors to Parliament House in 2016–17 should read 750,005.
  • Table 45—the legal services expenditure table published in the 2016–17 Annual Report was published in compliance with paragraph 11.1 (ba) of the Legal Services Directions 2017 and not the repealed paragraph 11.1 (ba) of the Legal Services Directions 2005.
    • The legal services expenditure table published in the 2016–17 Annual Report also mis-labelled the rows. The correct table is set out below, Table 45.
