As announced in the 2009‑10 Budget, the Government will establish the Commonwealth Property Management Framework. This framework will require agencies subject to the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 to apply a principles‑based approach to achieve a more efficient and effective use of domestic property.
Implementation of the framework is expected to result in whole‑of‑government savings of $47.6 million over three years from 2010‑11.

The Government is introducing coordinated procurement arrangements for its travel and related services. These arrangements will include central purchasing of domestic and international air travel, travel management, short‑term car hire, accommodation, and travel cards.
The costs of implementing and administering the travel services strategy will be offset by establishing a user charge arrangement, with two thirds of the resulting whole‑of‑government net savings to be returned to the budget.
For commercial confidentiality reasons, the financial impact of this measure is not for publication.

The Government will implement a range of efficiency measures identified by agencies as part of a whole‑of‑government savings exercise. Savings will be delivered by removing duplication and overlap, reducing corporate overheads, rationalising property and scaling back resources in agencies which have other opportunities to reduce the cost of services.
