1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
Departmental Output Expenses
The increases in annual Departmental Output expenses between 2016/17 and 2024/25 are due to new funding as a result of the Defence Mid-Point Rebalancing Review, Defence White Paper 2016, the Strategic Defence Policy Statement 2018, the Defence Capability Plan Review 2019, and the 2020 Baseline Review recommendations. The recommendations introduce into service new capabilities to enhance and maintain the outputs delivered by the New Zealand Defence Force.
Other major changes are due to new funding and expense transfers between years to enable the successful completion of components of the Defence Estate Regeneration and Consolidated Logistics Programmes, new funding for the increase in capital charge as a result of the acquisition of the Boeing P-8A Poseidon Aircraft for future air surveillance, and technical budget adjustments for movements in capital charge as a result of a decrease in the capital charge rate partially offset by increases as a result of the revaluation of assets.
Multi-Category Expenses and Capital Expenditure
The underlying baseline has been constant since 2016/17 with movements in the MCAs a result of the provision of Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Recovery support and operation deployments to United Nations and Multi-National operations that contribute to New Zealand's Security, Stability and Interests. The increase in 2020/21 is a result of the New Zealand Defence Force's delivery of isolation facilities and border services in support of the Government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Other Expenses
The other expense appropriations are higher in 2016/17 than the general trend due to the impairment and write off of assets following the Kaikoura/ Hurunui Earthquakes in November 2016 and in 2019/20 due to a forecast loss on sale of $7.260 million on New Zealand Defence Force property as a result of a Treaty settlement, a one off expense of $3,184 million to recognise the total future liability of Veterans' Entitlements as a result of a change in the accounting treatment, and the creation of two new other expenses appropriations of $14,250 related to the liability. These new appropriations for service costs and unwind of the discount rate result in the increase in expenses forecast for future years.
Capital Expenditure
The capital expenditure appropriation between 2016/17 and 2024/25 reflects the agreed level of investment in the New Zealand Defence Force as a result of Defence Mid-Point Rebalancing Review, Defence White Paper 2016, the Strategic Defence Policy Statement 2018, and the Defence Capability Plan Review 2019 recommendations. This includes introducing new capabilities into service to enhance and maintain the delivery of outputs. The increases in expenditure in 2018/19, 2019/20, 2020/21 and 2021/22 are primarily a result of forecast expenditure for the replacement and refresh of the New Zealand Defence Force's aging Air and Maritime platforms.
Benefits or Related Expenses
The major movements in annual Benefits or Related Expenses appropriations between 2016/17 and 2018/19 are primarily due to an increase in demand for Veteran services and payments and the increasing cost of services. During the 2019/20 year these appropriations were discontinued following a change in the accounting treatment of Veterans' Entitlements.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $19.533 million to $985.297 million for 2021/22. This increase between 2020/21 and 2021/22 relates to:
- increased funding of $11.017 million for the increase in capital charge as a result of the acquisition of the Boeing P-8A Poseidon aircraft for future air surveillance
- increased funding of $7.077 million to support delivery of the Strategic Defence Policy Statement 2018 by providing for military outputs at levels required to meet Government policy and capability priorities
- increased funding of $3.465 million for operating funding previously transferred to capital funding in recognition of labour incurred on capital projects
- increased funding of $2.822 million as a result of the acquisition, implementation and operation of the Future Air Mobility Capability
- increased funding of $800,000 for relocation of P-8A Poseidon aircraft related personnel
- increased funding of $521,000 for operating funding previously transferred to capital funding for maintenance expenditure which has resulted in asset improvement
- increased funding of $400,000 for the delivery of improvements to the NZDF's security capability
- increased funding of $200,000 for Ohakea community water supply, and
- increased funding of $128,000 for Ohakea Infrastructure Programme - Tranche 1.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $23.842 million to $629.091 million for 2021/22. This increase between 2020/21 and 2021/22 relates to:
- increased funding of $13.900 million that was transferred in 2020/21 for delivery of the border and isolation facilities in support of Government's response to the COVID-19 global pandemic
- increased funding of $5.796 million for funding transferred from 2020/21 to 2021/22 for the Pacific Leaders Development Programme
- increased funding of $2.753 million for the increase in capital charge as a result of the acquisition of the Boeing P-8A Poseidon aircraft for future air surveillance
- increased funding of $1.667 million for operating funding previously transferred to capital funding in recognition of labour incurred on capital projects
- increased funding of $245,000 for operating funding previously transferred to capital funding for maintenance expenditure which has resulted in asset improvement
- increased funding of $200,000 for relocation of P-8A related personnel, and
- increased funding of $182,000 for expansion of the Limited Service Volunteer Programme.
This is partially offset by:
- decreased funding of $827,000 for the reduction in the capital charge rate, and
- decreased funding of $74,000 for additional security provided in Singapore in 2020/21.
