The provision for long service leave relates to an actuarial assessment of entitlements that may become due to employees in the future. The provision is affected by a number of estimates, including the expected length of service of employees and the timing of benefits being taken. Most of the liability is expected to be incurred over the next 5 years.
The provision for site restoration was an assessment of costs to remove and treat contaminated soil and to reinstate with clean soil. The approved management plan for the affected site requires only minor reinstatement works to be performed.
The provision for revenue adjustments was an allowance for possible adjustments to amounts billed to electricity retailers. As billing data is now increasingly reliable there is no longer a need for this provision.
