The department currently has 78 agreements (2014: 176) for the leasing of premises where the department has raised a provision to restore the premises to their original condition at the conclusion of the lease. The decrease reflects consolidation of property leases in 2014-15 following integration of DFAT and former-AusAID. The provision reflects the present value of this obligation.
