Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This determination authorises an extra $40 million in government spending for the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development.

What this does: Under the Appropriation Act (No. 2) 2018‑2019, the Finance Minister has special "advance" powers to urgently allocate funds without waiting for Parliament to pass new legislation. This instrument uses that power to increase the Department's budget for payments to states, territories, and local governments.

Key details:

Amount: $40,000,000
Purpose: State, ACT, NT and local government payments (typically grants or funding agreements with state and territory governments)
Legal basis: Section 12 of the Appropriation Act (No. 2) 2018‑2019

This is a routine administrative mechanism used when additional funds are needed urgently during the financial year and there isn't time to wait for new budget bills.
