The following tabular statement lists each of the 53 decentralisation locations proposed in budget 2004; the number of staff earmarked for each location in the budget 2004 statement; the number of staff who applied to move to each location via the central applications facility and categorises each location as either State owned site, site acquired, site agreed, site/property under negotiation or site assessment stage. These terms are explained in a footnote to the tabular statement. The size of the office space provided at each location will be based on the decentralisation implementation group's recommendation of an average of 20 square metres per head of staff, plus 10% for future expansion. The actual space to be provided may vary depending on the detailed brief of requirements of each Department or office, and taking into account the particular business needs of each organisation, for example, training facilities, laboratory space, public office etc.
The cost of sites/properties has been included only in respect of those locations where contracts for sale have been completed.
