Adjustments to the Summary of Financial Activity Table Due to Vote Restructuring#

There have been no restructuring adjustments to prior year information in the Summary of Financial Activity table.

Department expenditure has decreased in 2018/19 mainly due to an impairment and loss on sale of two properties as a result of a Treaty settlement.

Multi Category Expenses and Capital Expenditure has decreased in 2018/19 largely due to the completion of a significant amount of work in 2017/18 relating to the Canterbury Earthquake recovery.

End of Year Performance Reporting

Performance information for this appropriation will be reported by Land Information New Zealand in the 2018/19 Annual Report.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

The decrease in this appropriation for 2018/19 is mainly due to:

  • a decrease of $23.234 million for Purchase of Land and Improvements - Operational due to completion of a significant amount of this work programme in 2017/18
  • a decrease of $5.363 million for Purchase of Land and Improvements - Capital due to completion of a significant amount of this work programme in 2017/18
  • a decrease of $10.938 million for Initial Write-down in the Value of Land and Improvements, Loss on Disposal of Land and Improvements, and Mass Movement of Land appropriation categories due to the completion of a significant amount of the work programmes for these areas in 2017/18, and
  • this is partially offset by an increase of $12.662 million for Management and Clearance of Land and Clearance of Built Structures and Associated Works due to the timing of work which is dependent on future use decisions in the Residential Red Zone.
