The Estimates contain requests from Vote Ministers for appropriations.

An appropriation provides a Vote Minister with authority to incur expenditure, expenses or liabilities. It establishes the maximum expense, liability or expenditure that can be incurred. Estimates include:

  • how appropriations will be spent
  • significant changes in the Vote
  • how performance will be measured
  • any differences from previous years.

The Public Finance Act 1989 requires that the Estimates accompany the Appropriation (2012/13 Estimates) Bill, which is the first Appropriation Bill relating to 2012/13 financial year. The Bill must be passed within three months of delivery of the Budget.

See Budget Data for Excel workbooks containing the data published in the Estimates 2012/13.
