Commitments Receivable

The Torres Strait Regional Authority (TSRA) receives rental income from the provision of staff housing. This is a necessary activity given the geographic location and housing availability in the Torres Strait.

Lease for office and residential accommodation
Lease payments exist for 3 office accommodations. The leases increase at CPI each year. One lease is for a period of 22 months with no renewal option to extend for 1 additional year, the second lease is for a period of 2 years with an option to extend for an additional 2 years and the third lease is for a period of 3 years with an option to extend for an additional 3 years.

The TSRA currently leases 9 houses for staff and contractor accommodation. Lease terms range from 1 month to 3 years with varying expiry dates.

Agreement for the provision of motor vehicles
Two vehicles are leased for operating activities of the TSRA. There are no contingent rentals and no renewal or purchase options available to the TSRA.

This schedule should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes.
