1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
Departmental Output Expenses
Departmental output expenses increased as a result of the establishment of the One Billion Trees Programme. Time-limited funding for Rebuilding Forestry Emission Trading Scheme Infrastructure results in a drop in expenditure in 2021/22.
Non-Departmental Output Expenses
Non-Departmental output expenses have decreased, primarily due to the lease of the Lake Taupo forest expiring. Expenditure will decline further in the 2021/22 year.
Non-Departmental Other Expenses
Non-Departmental other expenses have decreased in 2021/22 due to an expense transfer for Forestry grants and programmes.
