A3.16 – Summary of distribution of incremental costs under the general standards for Option B
A summary of the distribution of 10-year quantifiable costs by state and territory of the proposed general standards under Option B is presented in Tables A3.28 to A3.30 incurred by small facilities, medium facilities and large facilities, respectively. As shown in Table A3.28 the average annualised cost for a small facility is estimated to be $2,211 in present value dollars. For medium facilities the average annualised cost is estimated to be $5,614 (see Table A3.29) and for large facilities it is $9,702 (see Table A3.30).

Appendix 4 – Estimation of quantifiable incremental costs of the proposed taxon standards and discussion of unquantifiable costs
The purpose of Appendix 4 is to estimate the quantifiable incremental costs of the proposed animal welfare taxon standards and to discuss unquantifiable costs and their estimation difficulties. All cost estimates are based on the estimated population of facilities, keepers and enclosures as discussed in Appendix 2. Furthermore, all costs are presented for ten years and discounted at a rate of 7% according to OBPR requirements. It is assumed that the proposed standards will commence operation from 2013/14. Sensitivity tests are included with each of the incremental costs presented with the use of alternative discount rates of 3% and 10%.
