note 18. Contingent aSSetS and Contingent liaBilitieS<br />

Contingent assets<br />

In accordance with the NSW Government Planning Committee decision of July 2006, the Corporation transferred its East<br />

Darling Harbour site assets (Barangaroo site) to Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority (SHFA) in December 2007. Under the<br />

terms of the transfer of the Barangaroo site assets to SHFA, SHFA also acquired the Corporation’s existing Passenger<br />

Cruise Terminal located at Barangaroo. Following the establishment of Barangaroo Delivery Authority (BDA), the<br />

entitlements and obligations relating to the existing Passenger Cruise Terminal were transferred to BDA. In the event the<br />

Passenger Cruise terminal at Barangaroo is required by BDA for redevelopment, the Corporation is required to relocate<br />

from the existing Passenger Cruise Terminal.<br />

The Corporation entered into a construction contract in November 2011 to build a new Passenger Cruise Terminal at White Bay.<br />

Costs incurred are paid for initially by the Corporation and capitalised as construction in progress in the financial statements<br />

of the Corporation. Some of these amounts incurred have been subsequently reimbursed by BDA which is treated as revenue<br />

in the financial statements of the Corporation (20<strong>12</strong>: $10.551 million; 2011: $2.753 million). Future reimbursements of<br />

construction costs from BDA have not been recognised in the financial statements as the Corporation only recognises<br />

reimbursement revenue once expenditure has been incurred by the Corporation.<br />

Contingent liabilities<br />

As is common with an entity of Sydney Ports size there are a number of commercial disputes and claims in the ordinary<br />

course of business made by external parties under various contracts with the Corporation. There are no known claims at<br />

the date of this report that are expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.<br />
