2011 - Norfolk Island Inquiry
The Secretary of the Department of Regional Australia, Regional Development and Local Government asked commission staff to update the commission’s 2006 report, Review of the financial capacity of Norfolk Island.
Commission staff were also asked to make observations on the relative cost of services and the broader cost of living of the Norfolk Island community compared with similar remote communities. In addition, they were asked to examine the federal-type taxes and expenditure Norfolk Island administers.
Commission staff visited Norfolk Island in September 2011. The purpose of the visit was to meet with representatives of the Norfolk Island Government, the Administrator, and a number of business operators. Staff sought to identify changes to Norfolk Island’s circumstances since the 2006 review and to collect data to allow the 2006 calculations to be updated.
