About this report
This is the Final Report of the Urban Land Development Authority (ULDA). As part of machinery-of-government changes
implemented on 1 February 2013, the ULDA was abolished and the ULDA’s functions were transitioned into Economic
Development Queensland, which is a commercialised business unit of the Department of State Development, Infrastructure
and Planning.
This report refers to the activities and performance of the ULDA for the financial year 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012 and for the
last seven months of the ULDA until 31 January 2013.
The ULDA Final Report has been developed for the Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and
Planning, the Honourable Jeff Seeney MP and ULDA stakeholders including builder partners, local government, industry
and the community.
This report contains financial statements and a summary of the ULDA’s financial and non-financial performance for
the reporting period 1 July 2011 – 31 January 2013, in line with the targets and objectives outlined in the Financial and
Performance Management Standard 2009.
It also complies with the ULDA’s legislative reporting requirements under the Financial Accountability Act 2009, the Urban
Land Development Authority Act 2007 and the Queensland Government’s Annual Report Requirements for Queensland
Government Agencies.

Urban Land Development Authority I Final Report
Message from the former Chief Executive Officer
This is the Final Report of the Urban Land Development Authority (ULDA), encompassing operations for the last 19 months
as a statutory authority.
During this period, the ULDA oversaw the successful implementation of initiatives to provide innovative, affordable and
sustainable housing solutions in communities across Queensland, the continued delivery of quality urban and residential
developments and the completion of a range of planning documents to facilitate these developments.
Initiatives implemented by the ULDA included the My Place program which assisted key workers in competitive housing
markets to buy their own home, the development of innovative housing products such as the zero net emission home at
Fitzgibbon Chase and the design and introduction of small lot affordable housing.
This period also saw the completion of significant planning work including the finalisation of development schemes for
the four greenfield Urban Development Areas (UDA) in Yarrabilba, Greater Flagstone, Ripley Valley and Caloundra South.
These areas are some of the major growth centres in South East Queensland which will ultimately provide housing for up to
340,000 people over the next 30 - 40 years.
A suite of guidelines and practice notes were completed, outlining the standards for development in UDAs and covering
a range of design areas including park planning and design, engineering standards, environmental sustainability and nonresident worker accommodation. These documents have been created to assist development within UDAs, with the aim
to ultimately provide guidance to local government and the broader development industry.
Development continues across 14 UDAs with high rise developments completed in Bowen Hills and Northshore Hamilton,
over 350 homes built in Fitzgibbon Chase, Gladstone and Mackay, and the construction of the first homes in the major
greenfield UDAs, including Caloundra South and Greater Flagstone.
Development in residential projects in the resource communities of Blackwater and Moranbah is well advanced following
the accelerated release of land into these constrained markets to improve land availability and housing affordability.
Development in Roma is also progressing well with the first residents already moved into their new homes.
As part of the government’s commitment to re-empower local government, in 2012 the ULDA worked with Brisbane City
Council to successfully delegate development assessment functions to council in the four Brisbane-based UDAs at Bowen
Hills, Northshore Hamilton, Fitzgibbon and Woolloongabba.
The last six months of the ULDA was a period of change for the authority as it prepared to transition into the Department of
State Development, Infrastructure and Planning.
During this time the ULDA continued to support the government’s objectives for the community including growing a four
pillar economy by undertaking and facilitating development in declared UDAs, lowering the cost of living through the
delivery of sustainable and affordable housing, and delivering better infrastructure and using better planning through the
preparation of development schemes for declared UDAs.
I would like to thank all involved with the ULDA over the five years of its existence. The achievements of the ULDA in that
time are a tribute to the board and employees. In particular Paul Eagles, the Chief Executive Officer until December 2012,
deserves special mention for guiding, directing and inspiring the team.

About the ULDA
The ULDA was established under the Urban Land Development Authority Act 2007 as a statutory authority responsible for
the facilitation of:
• the availability of land for urban purposes
• the provision of a range of housing options to address diverse community needs
• the provision of infrastructure for urban purposes
• planning principles that give effect to ecological sustainability and best practice urban design
• the provision of an ongoing availability of affordable housing options for low to moderate income households.
The ULDA was the plan maker, development assessment authority, and in some cases development manager for 17 declared
Urban Development Areas (UDAs) across Queensland.
During the five years the ULDA was in operation the scope and focus of the organisation expanded from the initial Brisbane
based UDAs that were declared in Bowen Hills, Northshore Hamilton and Fitzgibbon in 2008 and later Woolloongabba, to
include UDAs in:
• regional centres; Gladstone (Clinton, Tannum Sands and Toolooa), Townsville (Oonoonba), Rockhampton
and Mackay (Andergrove)
• resource communities; Moranbah, Blackwater and Roma
• strategic greenfield areas; Ripley Valley, Greater Flagstone, Yarrabilba and Caloundra South.
As plan maker the ULDA prepared development schemes for each of the declared areas which consisted of a land use plan,
infrastructure plan and infrastructure strategy. To provide further direction to stakeholders in relation to how development
might be undertaken in these declared areas, a series of guidelines and practice notes were prepared over time by the
ULDA which cover a range of planning, engineering and environmental matters.
Of the 17 UDAs declared, the ULDA worked in partnership with builders and developers to deliver residential projects in
eight communities in Fitzgibbon, Clinton, Tannum Sands, Oonoonba, Andergrove, Moranbah, Blackwater and Roma.
Through these developments the ULDA has:
• a ssisted in getting housing on the ground in resource areas where pressure has been felt due to the growth in the
mining sector, especially for key workers
• demonstrated innovative housing to improve housing choice and affordability
• implemented best practice ecological sustainability policies.
The ULDA also worked with industry to co-ordinate and provide infrastructure to facilitate the development of a key innerBrisbane riverside precinct at Northshore Hamilton.

Community engagement
Community engagement played a significant role in the planning work that the ULDA undertook in declared UDAs.
While the legislative engagement requirements in the Urban Land Development Authority Act 2007 specified a 30
business day public notification period for proposed development schemes, the ULDA always sought to undertake
more detailed engagement.
From 1 July 2011 until 31 January 2013 comprehensive community engagement activities were undertaken for the
preparation of development schemes for three UDAs.

Urban development
The urban development team was responsible for the development of land in medium to higher density UDAs. The
development role sometimes extended to the delivery of roads, infrastructure and public realm required to support the sale
of prepared lots to third party developers.
Where the ULDA was not a land owner in these UDAs, the team played a facilitation role for other State Government
agencies that were the land owners.
The urban development team was created in 2010 as part of the restructure of the ULDA in recognition of the growth in the
Authority’s development involvement in urban sites. This included facilitation of development within the Carseldine Urban
Village as well as development of ULDA owned land at Northshore Hamilton.
A major focus of the urban development team was the Northshore Hamilton UDA, where the ULDA owned approximately 60
hectares of land.
The highlights include:
Northshore Hamilton
• T
he completion of a new $5 million CityCat Terminal from which a regular express service to the CBD is
now operational.
• T
he completion of $1.5 million of road works and approximately $1.5 million of riverwalk works around
the Australand development.
• T
he completion of $10 million of trunk sewer works from Macarthur Ave to Violet St north of Kingsford
Smith Drive.
• D
esign for the completion of parks, public realm, roads and infrastructure at the western end of
Northshore Hamilton which is expected to cost approximately $60 million to deliver.
• T
he sale of just over 1 hectare of land on Remora Road for $12 million to The Shayher Group which has
started construction on a mixed-use development comprising 273 units and 5,000m2 of commercial
and retail space.
• A
development agreement with BTP Development Services (and joint venture between Graystone,
Harvest and Alceon) for up to 5 hectares of land to deliver a 50,000m2 Northshore Business and
Innovation Precinct over the next five years which is expected to realise a return of more than $25
million to the State Government.
• T
he construction of over 1,000 dwellings to date with approvals in place or construction underway on
another 500 dwellings.
In late 2012, the urban development team was tasked with facilitating the delivery of the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth
GamesTM Village which included the handover of the Commonwealth Games Village business plan from the Department
of Tourism, Major Events, Small Business and the Commonwealth Games and preparation for selection of a development
partner and consultants for early site works. The delivery of the village is being continued by EDQ.

assumed many of the responsibilities of the ULDA Board until the abolition of the ULDA on 31 January 2013.
Audit and Risk Management Committee
The Audit and Risk Management Committee oversaw the ULDA’s risk profile and key strategic and operational risks.
The committee members resigned in August 2012 as part of the transition into the Department of State Development,
Infrastructure and Planning. The department assumed many of the responsibilities of the committee until the ULDA was
abolished on 31 January 2013.
The committee met on four occasions during 2011 - 2012, providing advice and support to the CEO and the ULDA Board in
the discharge of their responsibilities under the Financial Administration Act 2009, in particular advising on financial and
governance matters of the ULDA. The committee observed the terms of its charter with due regard to Queensland Treasury’s

There were no VERs at the ULDA during this period.
There were six redundancies at the ULDA during this period. The ULDA conducted a review of the activities of the
Sustainability and Innovation Unit in May 2012 which highlighted the need for the Authority to focus its resources and
energy in its core business. The review determined to close the Sustainability and Innovation Unit, resulting in four
redundancies.

Governance
Service standards
The ULDA’s performance measures focused on the efficiency and effectiveness of the core work undertaken by the Authority.
In regard to efficiency, this performance measure applied to the decision making period undertaken by the ULDA to assess
a development application upon receipt of all information required to make a determination. Under the Urban Land
Development Authority Act 2007, the ULDA was required to decide applications within 40 business days from receipt of all
necessary information.
The ULDA set a target of under 40 business days to measure its efficiency. This timeframe did not include time taken by
an applicant to respond to information requests from the ULDA as this is outside the control of the ULDA. It also did not
include the public notification period of an application as this is a set statutory period.
In regard to effectiveness, this is a measure of how effectively the ULDA delivered on its purpose to facilitate the provision
of affordable housing for low to moderate income households. The definition of low to moderate household incomes,
affordable housing and the prices at which homes are considered affordable to rent or purchase are outlined in the ULDA’s
Housing Strategy.

ULDA’s administrative procedures and management practices had proper regard for the organisation’s Code of Conduct
and the Public Sector Ethics Act 1994. Staff were made aware and trained in the Code of Conduct and the requirements for
ethical behaviour. The Code of Conduct was on the ULDA’s intranet and in the ULDA’s register of documents which relate to
the final report.
Ministerial direction
The Urban Land Development Authority Act 2007 (the Act) provided for a wide range of powers to enable the Authority
to carry out its responsibilities. Under section 130 of the Act the responsible Minister was able to give the ULDA a written
direction about the performance of its functions (a Ministerial direction).
No Ministerial direction was given from 1 July 2011 – 31 January 2013.

Urban Land Development Authority I Final Report
Introduction
On 1 February 2013 a Proclamation was made giving effect to the commencement of the Economic Development Act 2012. A
new entity called Minister for Economic Development Queensland (MEDQ) was established to replace the former Urban Land
Development Authority (ULDA) and Property Services Group (PSG). The Urban Land Development Authority Act was repealed
and the Urban Land Development Authority abolished effective 31 January 2013.
As a consequence of these changes the services, assets and liabilities of the ULDA were transferred to MEDQ on
1 February 2013.
This is therefore the final financial report of the ULDA.
The summary of the financial performance of the ULDA for the period 1 July 2011 to 31 January 2013 highlights the key
financial results together with associated commentary. Tables and graphs have been used to illustrate comparisons between

Revaluation of investment property
The ULDA’s investment properties were independently valued by the State Valuation Services using fair value principles. The
values assigned to the land and buildings at Northshore Hamilton were adjusted to reflect their listed Brisbane City Council
zoning (primarily port or industrial use) and do not reflect the potential higher use under the existing development scheme
for this precinct. The revaluation decrement of $67.4 million has been recorded as an expense in the ULDA’s accounts as
required by Australian Accounting Standards.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2011 - 2013
Abolishment of the Urban Land Development Authority
The Urban Land Development Authority which was established under the Urban Land Development Authority Act 2007 as a
not for profit entity, worked with local and State Government, community, local landholders and the development industry
to help deliver commercially viable developments that included diverse, affordable, sustainable housing using best practice
urban design.
On 1 February 2013 a Proclamation was made giving effect to the commencement of the Economic Development Act 2012.
A new entity called Minister for Economic Development Queensland (MEDQ), a corporation sole, was established to replace
the former Urban Land Development Authority (ULDA) and Property Services Group (PSG). The Urban Land Development
Authority Act was repealed and the ULDA abolished effective 31 January 2013.
MEDQ through Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) will facilitate economic development and development for
community purposes in the State. EDQ will continue the current planning and development activities of the former ULDA
and PSG and identify new residential, urban and industrial projects.
As a consequence of these changes the services, assets and liabilities of the ULDA were transferred to MEDQ on 31 January
2013, through equity withdrawal.
This is therefore the final financial statements of the ULDA.
Basis of preparation
As a consequence of the above, the financial statements have been prepared on a liquidation basis.
References to 2013 throughout the financial statements and notes relate to the 19 month period from 1 July 2011 to 31
January 2013. Therefore amounts disclosed are not entirely comparable.

In addition, the financial statements comply with Queensland Treasury’s Minimum Reporting Requirements, to
the extent relevant, for the period ended 31 January 2013 and other authoritative pronouncements.
With respect to compliance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, the Authority has applied
those minimum requirements applicable to not-for-profit entities. Except where stated, the historical cost
convention is used.
(b) The reporting entity
The financial statements include the value of all revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and equity of the
Authority. The Authority does not have any controlled entities.
(c) Income recognition
Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration or contribution received or receivable. Amounts
disclosed are net of returns, allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(c) Income recognition (continued)
(i)Revenue from the sale of land is recognised at the time of settlement when the risks and rewards of
ownership have passed to the buyer and the Authority retains neither continuing managerial involvement
to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the units sold.
(ii)Interest is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method.
(iii)Government grants, that are non-reciprocal in nature, are recognised as revenue in the year in which
the Authority obtains control over it. Where grants are received that are reciprocal in nature, revenue is
recognised as the obligations under the funding arrangements are satisfied.
(iv) Rental income is recognised evenly over the term of the lease.
(v) Development application fees are recognised as they are received.
(d) Cash and cash equivalent
For the purposes of the Statement of Financial Position and the Statement of Cash Flows, cash assets include
all cash and cheques receipted but not banked at the end of the period as well as deposits at call with
financial institutions.
(e) Trade and other receivables
Trade debtors are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method, less provision for impairment at the amounts due at the time of sale or service
delivery. Settlement of these amounts is required within 30 days from invoice date. They are presented as
current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after reporting date.
The collectability of receivables is assessed periodically with provision being made for impairment where
required. The impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
(f)
Inventories
Inventories, being land held for sale, are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The Authority
charges all direct expenditure on development work to the relevant project. Costs include acquisition,
development and capitalised overheads and borrowing costs during development. When development is
completed borrowing costs and other holding charges are expensed as incurred.
Borrowing costs included in the cost of land held for resale are those costs that would have been avoided
if the expenditure on acquisition and development of the land has not been made. Borrowing costs incurred
while active development is interrupted for extended periods are recognised as expenses.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs
of completion, marketing and selling costs.
(g) Acquisitions of assets
Actual cost is used for the initial recording of all non-current physical asset acquisitions. Cost is determined as
the value given as consideration plus costs incidental to the acquisition, including all other costs incurred in
getting the assets ready for use, including architect’s fees and engineering design fees. However, any training
costs are expensed as incurred.
Where assets are received free of charge from a Queensland Government entity (whether as a result of a
machinery-of-government or other involuntary transfer), the acquisition cost is recognised as the gross carrying
amount in the books of the transferor immediately prior to the transfer together with any accumulated
depreciation.
Assets acquired at no cost or for nominal consideration, other than from an involuntary transfer from another
Queensland Government entity, are recognised at their fair value at date of acquisition in accordance with
AASB116 Property, Plant and Equipment.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(h) Property, plant and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment with a cost or other value equal to or in excess of the following
thresholds are recognised for financial reporting purposes in the year of acquisition.
Land
Plant and equipment
Buildings
Infrastructure
$1
$5,000
$10,000
$10,000
Items with a lesser value are expensed in the year of acquisition.
Capital works in progress are measured at cost.
(i)
Measurement of non-current physical assets
Land, buildings and infrastructure are measured at fair value in accordance with AASB 116 Property, Plant and
Equipment, and Queensland Treasury’s Non-Current Asset Policies for the Queensland Public Sector. In respect
of these asset classes, the cost of items acquired during the financial year has been judged by management of
the Authority to materially represent their fair value at the end of the reporting period.
On revaluation, accumulated depreciation is restated proportionately with the change in the carrying amount of
the asset and any change in the estimate of remaining useful life.
Non-current physical assets measured at fair value are comprehensively revalued at least once every five years
with interim valuations, using appropriate indices, being otherwise performed on an annual basis where there
has been a material variation in the index.
Any revaluation increment arising on the revaluation of an asset is recognised, net of tax, in other
comprehensive income and to the asset revaluation surplus of the appropriate class in equity. To the extent it
reverses a revaluation decrement for the class recognised in profit or loss. A decrease in the carrying amount
on previously recognised in profit or loss, the increase is first valuation charged as an expense, to the extent it
exceeds the balance, if any, in the revaluation surplus relating to that class.
Plant and equipment is measured at historical cost less depreciation in accordance with Treasury’s Non-Current
Asset Policies. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of these items.
Separately identified components of assets are measured on the same basis as the assets to which they
relate.
(j)
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment
Land is not depreciated as it has an unlimited useful life.
Plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis so as to allocate the net cost or revalued amount
of each asset, less its estimated residual value, progressively over its estimated residual life to the Authority.
Assets under construction (work-in-progress) are not depreciated until they reach practical completion.
Any expenditure that increases the originally assessed capacity or service potential of an asset is capitalised
and the new depreciable amount is depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. All other repairs
and maintenance are charged to profit and loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

(j) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment (continued)
For each class of depreciable asset the following depreciation and amortisation rates are used:
Class
Rate %
Plant and equipment:
Office equipment
10 - 20
Leasehold improvements 20 - 40
Buildings
2.5-20
Infrastructure
2.5
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each
reporting period.
(k) Impairment of non-current assets
All non-current physical assets are assessed for indicators of impairment on an annual basis. If an indicator of
possible impairment exists, the Authority determines the asset’s recoverable amount. Any amount by which the
asset’s carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount is recorded as an impairment loss.
The asset’s recoverable amount is determined as the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and
depreciated replacement cost.
An impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, unless the asset is
carried at a revalued amount. When the asset is measured at a revalued amount, the impairment loss is offset
against the asset revaluation surplus of the relevant class to the extent available.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised
estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.
A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in
which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
(l)
Investment property
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially
recognised at cost including transaction costs. Where investment property is acquired at no or nominal cost it
is recognised at fair value and is subsequently carried at fair value, being revalued as at each reporting date.
Fair value is based on selling prices in an active property market adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the nature,
location or condition of the specific investment property.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income for the period in which they arise as part of other income. Investment property is not
depreciated. Rental revenue from investment property is recognised as income on a periodic straight line basis
over the lease term.
(m) Unincorporated joint venture operations
The Authority’s interest in unincorporated joint ventures (classified as jointly controlled operations) is brought
to account by recognising in its financial statements the assets it controls, the liabilities that it incurs, the
expenses it incurs and its share of income that it earns from the sale of land by the joint venture.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(n) Trade and other payables
Trade creditors are recognised upon receipt of the goods or services ordered and are measured at the nominal
amount i.e. agreed purchase/contract price, gross of applicable trade and other discounts. Amounts owing
are generally unsecured and are generally settled on 30 day terms. Amounts payable for the acquisition of
land are recognised at the time of settlement, and are payable in accordance with contract terms. They are
presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date.
(o) Financial instruments
Recognition
Financial assets and liabilities are classified depending on the purpose for which they were acquired at initial
recognition and the designation re-evaluated at the end of each reporting date. Financial assets acquired
principally for the purpose of selling in the short term are classified as financial assets at fair value through
the profit or loss.
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position on trade date, the date the
Authority becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Classification
Financial instruments are classified and measured as follows:
• Cash and cash equivalents - held at fair value through profit or loss
• Receivables - held at amortised cost
• Payables - held at amortised cost
• Borrowings - held at amortised cost
Measurement
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, plus any transaction costs directly attributable to borrowings,
then subsequently held at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the
rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of a financial
instrument (or, where appropriate, a shorter period) to the net carrying amount of that instrument.
Any borrowing costs are added to the carrying amount of the borrowing to the extent they are not settled
in the period in which they arise. Borrowings are classified as non-current liabilities to the extent that the
Authority has an unconditional right to defer settlement until at least 12 months after the reporting date.
The Authority does not enter into transactions for speculative or hedging purposes. Apart from cash and cash
equivalent, the Authority holds no financial assets classified at fair value through profit or loss.
All disclosures relating to the measurement basis and financial risk management of other financial instruments
held by the Authority are included in the notes.
Impairment
The Authority assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial
asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired and
impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more
events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events)
has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be
reliably estimated.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(p) Employee benefits
Employer superannuation contributions, annual leave and long service leave levies are regarded as employee
benefits.
Payroll tax and workers’ compensation insurance are a consequence of employing employees, but are not
counted in an employee’s total remuneration package. They are not employee benefits and are recognised
separately as employee related expenses.
Short-term obligations
Wages and salaries due but unpaid at reporting date are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position at
the current salary rates.
For unpaid entitlements expected to be paid within 12 months, the liabilities are recognised at their
undiscounted values. Entitlements not expected to be paid within 12 months are classified as non-current
liabilities and recognised at their present value, calculated using yields on fixed rate Commonwealth
Government bonds of similar maturity, after projecting the remuneration rates expected to apply at the time of
likely settlement.
The Authority is excluded from the Queensland Government’s Annual Leave Central Scheme (ALCS), so
recreation leave is shown on the Statement of Financial Position. The liability for employee benefits is
recognised in accrued employee expenses (note 22).
Prior history indicates that on average, sick leave taken in each reporting period is less than the entitlement
accrued. This is expected to recur in future periods. Accordingly, it is unlikely that existing accumulated
entitlements will be used by employees and no liability for unused sick leave entitlements is recognised.
As sick leave is non-vesting, an expense is recognised for this leave as it is taken.
Long-term employee benefit obligations
Under the Queensland Government’s long service leave scheme, a levy is made on the Authority to cover the
cost of employees’ long service leave.
The levies are expensed in the period in which they are payable. Amounts paid to employees for long service
leave are claimed from the scheme quarterly in arrears.
No provision for long service leave is recognised in the financial statements, the liability being held on a
whole-of-government basis and reported in the financial report prepared pursuant to AASB 1049 Whole of
Government and General Government Sector Financial Reporting.
Retirement benefit obligations
Employer superannuation contributions are paid to QSuper, the superannuation plan for Queensland
Government employees, at rates determined by the Treasurer on the advice of the State Actuary. Contributions
are expensed in the period in which they are paid or payable. The Authority’s obligation is limited to its
contribution to QSuper.
Therefore, no liability is recognised for accruing superannuation benefits in these financial statements, the
liability being held on a whole-of-government basis and reported in the financial report prepared pursuant to
AASB 1049 Whole of Government and General Government Sector Financial Reporting.
Executive remuneration
Key executive management personnel and remuneration disclosures are made in accordance with Financial
Reporting Requirements for Queensland Government Agencies issued by Queensland Treasury.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(q) Provisions
Provisions are recorded when the Authority has a present obligation, either legal or constructive, as a result
of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the
amount has been reliably measured. They are recognised at the amount expected at reporting date at which
the obligation will be settled in a future period.
As the Authority is a government body, it is exempt from certain fees and taxes (rates, stamp duty, land tax)
that would otherwise be payable in the private sector in relation to development projects. To ensure that the
Authority does not have a competitive advantage over private sector competitors, provision is made for the
equivalent costs of all exempt fees and taxes. These funds are required by the Queensland government to be
directed to the delivery of affordable housing outcomes.
(r)
Infrastructure contributions liability
The Authority charges and collects infrastructure contributions from developers. These contributions are:
1. applied to the construction of infrastructure, which is subsequently transferred to the relevant authority; or
2. transferred to the relevant authority; or
3. transferred to the relevant authority to fund the provision of infrastructure.
As such the contributions received are disclosed in the statement of cash flows but are not revenue. The
liability for amounts received but not yet utilised is recognised in trade and other payables (note 20).
(s) Finance/borrowing costs
Finance costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred, other than finance costs
associated with land development which are capitalised to land inventories.
Finance costs include:
• Interest on bank overdrafts and short-term and long-term borrowings; and
• Ancillary administration charges.
(t) Insurance
The Authority’s non-current physical assets and other risks are insured through the Queensland Government
Insurance Fund, with premiums being paid on a risk assessment basis. In addition, the Authority pays
premiums to Workcover Queensland in respect of its obligations for employee compensation and has a
contractual obligation to pay for environmental insurance over specified land at Northshore Hamilton.
(u) Contributed equity
Non-reciprocal transfers of assets and liabilities between wholly-owned Queensland State Public Sector entities
as a result of machinery-of-government changes or other involuntary transfers are adjusted to Contributed
Equity in accordance with Interpretation 1038 Contributions to Owners Made to Wholly Owned Public Sector
Entities. Equity contributions are similarly adjusted against equity.
(v) Taxation
The Authority is exempt from commonwealth taxation with the exception of Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) and
Goods and Services Tax (GST). As such, FBT and GST receivable from and payable to the Australian Taxation
Office are recognised. Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of associated GST, unless GST incurred
is not recoverable. In this case it is recognised as part of the asset cost or as an expense.
The Authority is subject to the provisions of the National Tax Equivalent Regime (NTER), an administrative
arrangement where commonwealth taxation laws are notionally applied to the Authority. In accordance with the
requirements of the NTER, the Authority would pay an income tax equivalent to Queensland Treasury. Currently

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(v) Taxation (continued)
an arrangement exists between the Authority and Queensland Treasury whereby the tax equivalent expense can
be retained by the Authority and directed to the delivery of affordable housing. This is via an equity injection
on 1 July each year.
The charge for current income tax equivalent expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any nonassessable or disallowed items. It is calculated on the basis of tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at 31
January 2013.
Deferred tax equivalents are accounted for using the liability method in respect of temporary differences
arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.
No deferred income tax equivalent will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a
transaction, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax equivalents are calculated at the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively
enacted at 31 January 2013 and are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability
is settled. Deferred tax equivalents are credited in the Statement of Comprehensive Income except where it
relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax equivalent is adjusted
directly against equity.
Deferred income tax equivalent assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax
losses only if it is probable that future tax profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences and
losses.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption
that no adverse change will occur in income tax legislation and the anticipation that the Authority will derive
sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of
deductibility imposed by the law.
(w) Issuance of financial statements
The financial statements are authorised for issue by the former Chief Executive Officer of the Authority at the
date of signing the Management Certificate.
(x) Judgements and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements necessarily requires the determination and use of certain critical
accounting estimates, assumptions, and management judgements that have the potential to cause a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Such estimates,
judgements and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on going basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in future periods as relevant.
Estimates and assumptions that have a potential significant effect are outlined in the following financial
statement notes:
Valuation of Property, Plant and Equipment – Note 18
Provisions – Note 23
Contingencies – Note 30
Impairment of non-current assets – Note 1(k)
Recovery of deferred tax assets – Note 1(v)
(y) Rounding and comparatives
Amounts included in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest $1,000 or, where that amount
is $500 or less, to zero, unless disclosure of the full amount is specifically required. Sub-totals and totals may
not add due to rounding, but the overall discrepancy is no greater than two.

Prior period adjustments During the 2011-13 financial period the following errors were discovered relating to the prior financial periods.
(a) Selling and marketing costs
Selling and marketing costs have been incorrectly capitalised as project costs and included in inventory and
the cost of land sold for each of the development areas. These costs should have been excluded from the cost
of inventory and expensed as incurred in the relevant financial period.
This prior period adjustment has the following impacts on the financial statements:
• Increases in expenses of $708,000 for 2009-10 and $1.966 million for 2010-11;
• Decrease in cost of land sold of $420,000 for 2010-11;
• Decreases in inventories of $708,000 for 2009-10 and $2.254 million for 2010-11;
• Increases in deferred tax asset of $212,000 for 2009-10 and $676,000 in 2010-11;
• Decreases in the closing balance of retained surplus of $496,000 for 2009-10 and $1.578 million for 2010-11;
• Decreases in deferred tax expense of $212,000 in 2009-10 and $464,000 in 2010-11.
(b) Deferred land payments
The liability in relation to land purchased under deferred payment contractual arrangements has not been
discounted to reflect the time value of money. The liability should have been initially recorded at the
discounted value with the notional interest being recognised over the period of the repayment.
This prior period adjustment has the following impacts on the financial statements:
• Decreases in payables of $1.245 million for 2009-10 and $3.002 million for 2010-11;
• Decreases in inventories of $1.245 million for 2009-10 and $3.002 million for 2010-11.
(c) Infrastructure contributions provision
The liability in relation to infrastructure contributions has been incorrectly classified as a provision in the
Statement of Financial Position. The balance should have been disclosed as a liability as the amount to be
repaid is known and does not meet the definition of a provision.
This prior period adjustment has the following impacts on the financial statements:
• Decreases in provisions of $2.751 million for 2009-10 and $10.867 million for 2010-11;
• Increases in payables of $2.751 million for 2009-10 and $10.867 million for 2010-11.
(d) Project management cost recovery
Project management fees have been incorrectly classified as user charges revenue in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income. These fees are an internal recovery of wages and should be disclosed as part of
employee benefit expenses.
This prior period adjustment has the following impacts on the financial statements:
• Decreases in user charges revenue of $1.375 million for 2009-10 and $3.046 million for 2010-11;
• Decreases in employee benefit expenses of $1.375 million for 2009-10 and $3.046 million for 2010-11.
(e) Employee entitlements
Accrued employee benefits have been incorrectly split between current and non-current portions. These
benefits relate to annual leave and should be classified in full as a current liability as this leave could be taken
at any point within the next financial year.
This prior period adjustment has the following impacts on the financial statements:
• Decrease in accrued employee benefits (non-current) of $53,000 for 2009-10 and $129,000 for 2010-11;
• Increase in accrued employee benefits (current) of $53,000 for 2009-10 and $129,000 for 2010-11.

Other financial assets
Term deposits with a term in excess of three months have previously been included in cash and cash
equivalents. These should be classified as short term financial assets on initial recognition.
This prior period adjustment has the following impacts on the financial statements:
• Decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $6,163,000 for 2010-11;
• Increase in other financial assets of $6,163,000 for 2010-11.

Other financial liabilities (continued)
All borrowings are Australian denominated amounts and are carried at amortised cost with interest being capitalised
as it accrues. Repayment dates vary based on the timing of receipts from land sales. There have been no defaults or
breaches of the loan agreement during the period.
The outstanding loan value (book value) is split between current and non-current based on the portion of the
loan that is expected to be settled in the next twelve months. QTC use client loan repayment schedules to calculate
the portion of principle at reporting period for this information.
The total of approved facilities is $278.8 million (2011: $121.8 million). As at 31 January 2013, $204.4 million

Financial risk management
The Authority’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks - credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.
Financial risk management is implemented pursuant to government and board policy. These policies focus on the
unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance
of the Authority.
All financial risk is managed by Executive Management under policies approved by the board. The board provides
written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas.

No collateral is held as security and no credit enhancements relate to financial assets held by the Authority.
The Authority manages credit risk through the use of management reports. This strategy aims to reduce the exposure
to credit default by ensuring that the Authority invests in secure assets and monitors all funds owed on a timely
basis. Exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis.
The method for calculating any provisional impairment for risk is based on past experience, current and expected
changes in economic conditions and changes in client credit ratings. These economic changes form part of the
Authority’s documented risk analysis assessment in conjunction with historic experience and associated industry data.
Financial assets have not had their terms renegotiated so as to prevent them from being past due or impaired, and
are stated at the carrying amounts as indicated.
Ageing of past due but not impaired as well as impaired financial assets is disclosed in the following tables:

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk refers to the situation where the Authority may encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated
with financial liabilities.
The Authority is exposed to liquidity risk in respect of its payables and borrowings from Queensland Treasury
Corporation. The borrowings are based on the Queensland Government’s gazetted floating rate.
The Authority manages liquidity risk through the use of management reports. This strategy aims to reduce the
exposure to liquidity risk by ensuring the Authority has sufficient funds available to meet employee and supplier
obligations at all times. This is achieved by ensuring that minimum levels of cash are held within the various bank
accounts so as to match the expected duration of the various employee and supplier liabilities.
The following table sets out the liquidity risk of financial liabilities held by the Authority. It represents the
contractual maturity of financial liabilities, calculated based on cash flows relating to the repayment of the principal
amount outstanding at reporting date.

borrowings from QTC. The Authority does not undertake any hedging in relation to interest rate risk.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The following interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on a report similar to that which would be provided
