3.1 Develop and approve global fiscal strategy based on whole-of-Government fiscal position (CBRC)

Within each year's Budget cycle, the Government (based on advice from Queensland Treasury), will review the fiscal position of the State to estimate the resources available for allocation within the Budget and other policy settings.

Based on Treasury's briefings with regard to:

• expenditure forward estimates
• administered receipts
• controlled receipts
• grants and subsidies
• Australian Government payments
• interest
• dividends
• tax equivalent payments
• royalties
• fines and forfeitures.

The Cabinet Budget Review Committee (CBRC) approves a global fiscal strategy.

Governance

This process is the responsibility of CBRC.

Timing

The timing of this process is dependent on the timing of the State Budget. Based on a June Budget, this process is likely to occur in December.
