1.11 Acquisition of Assets<br />

Assets are recorded at cost on acquisition except as stated below. The cost of acquisition includes<br />

the fair value of assets transferred in exchange and liabilities undertaken.<br />

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised as assets and<br />

revenues at their fair value at the date of acquisition, unless acquired as a consequence of<br />

restructuring administrative arrangements. In the latter case, assets are initially recognised as<br />

contributions by owners at the amounts at which they were recognised in the transferor agency’s<br />

accounts immediately prior to the restructuring.<br />

1.12 Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E)<br />

Asset Recognition Threshold<br />

Purchases of property, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the Statement of<br />

Financial Position, except for purchases costing less than $2,000, which are expensed in the<br />

period of acquisition (other than where they form part of a group of similar items which are<br />

significant in total).<br />

Revaluations<br />

Basis<br />

Land, buildings, plant and equipment are carried at valuation. Revaluations undertaken up to 30<br />

June 2002 were done on a deprival basis; revaluations since that date are at fair value. This<br />

change in accounting policy is required by <strong>Australian</strong> Accounting Standard AASB 1041<br />

Revaluation of Non-Current Assets. Valuations undertaken in any year are as at 30 June.<br />

the adjusted useful lives based on the <strong>Australian</strong> Valuation Office revised useful lives.<br />
