The decrease in grants and subsidies expense is due to a one off $3.0 million contribution paid to the Roads and Traffic Authority for intersection upgrade works in the previous year Total revenue increased mainly due to rises in car park receipts, commercial leases and revenue from the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic and Athletic Centres Other gains primarily represent the emerging value of the right to receive assets over the concession period The increase in government contributions is mainly due to lower asset sales transferred to the Crown Entity, due to the final instalment of $19.0 million being paid on the former Lidcombe Hospital site in the prior year This is trial version www.adultpdf.com 46 _Auditor-General’s Report to Parliament 2009 Volume Nine _ Sydney Olympic Park
