OUTCOME 15 SPORT AND RECREATIONImproved opportunities for community participation in sport and recreation, and excellence in high-performance athletes, through initiatives to help protect the integrity of sport, investment in sport infrastructure, coordination of Commonwealth involvement in major sporting events, and research and international cooperation on sport issues
MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS • Helped embed sport firmly into school life to benefit Australian children, including working with
the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) to develop the new Sporting Schools initiative.
• Supported the completion of 10 new and upgraded sport and recreation facilities, with 14 more projects currently underway.
• Supported the organisation of the Asian Football Confederation Asian Cup, the International Cricket Council Cricket World Cup and the Netball World Cup tournaments being held in 2015 by collaborating across Government and with major sporting event organisers.

• Improved the resilience of the Australian sports sector to integrity challenges by developing the Australian Sports Integrity Network.
• Supported the Australian Government’s participation in the Review of the World Anti-Doping Code, culminating in the World Conference Against Doping in Sport in November 2013.

• Continuing work with betting regulators on a consistent regulatory framework for sports betting markets, and with the betting industry to meet key measures under the National Policy on Match-fixing in Sport.
• Coordinating State and Territory Government efforts to implement a nationally consistent legislative approach to address match-fixing and corruption in sport.

1 Budgeted appropriations taken from the 2014-15 Health Portfolio Budget Statements and re-aligned to the 2013-14 programme group structure.2 Administered appropriation variance relates mainly to the Brookvale Oval upgrades ($5.0m) and Brisbane Inner Norths Sports Complex ($0.675m).
The responsibility of these two programmes has been transferred to the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development as part of the Community Developments Grant Programme. As the function no longer sits with the Department, the funding is required to be returned to consolidated revenue as part of the Final Budget Outcome process.
3 Departmental appropriation combines ‘Ordinary annual services (Appropriation Bill 1)’ and ‘Revenue from independent sources (s31)’.4 ‘Expenses not requiring appropriation in the budget year’ is made up of depreciation expense, amortisation, make good expense and audit fees.
This estimate also includes approved operating losses – please refer to the departmental financial statements for further information. Some reclassifications have been made to the Budget estimates to more accurately reflect the allocation of departmental depreciation by outcome.
