Summary of Financial Activity#

Note - where restructuring of the vote has occurred then, to the extent practicable, prior years information has been restated as if the restructuring had occurred before the beginning of the period covered. In this instance Total Appropriations for the Budgeted and Estimated Actual year may not equal Total Appropriations in the Details of Appropriations and Capital Injections.

1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#

Output Expenses

Between 2013/14 and 2021/22, output expenses are forecast to increase by over $77 million (51%).

The increase largely relates to new funding appropriated over consecutive Budgets toward Whanau Ora outcomes achieved through a Whanau Ora approach - new funding of $2.500 million per annum in Budget 2017, $10 million per annum in Budget 2016, $12.440 million per annum in Budget 2015, and over $37 million from previous Budget announcements. There have also been contributions of over $9 million per annum from Vote Social Development to support Whanau Ora commissioning.

Funding for Maori Housing has also contributed to the increase ($5 million per annum in Budget 2017, $9.950 million per annum in Budget 2016, and $5.735 million per annum in Budget 2015).

Other Expenses

Between 2013/14 and 2021/22 other expenditure is forecast to increase by just over $2 million (46%).

There are appropriated funds of $9 million for a Crown contribution to the Parihaka community which created a single year spike in 2017/18.

Multi-Category Expenses and Capital Expenditure

Between 2013/14 and 2021/22 multi-category expenses are forecast to increase by just under $16 million (30%).

The increase is mainly due to funding increases for the following:

• funding increases up to $3.500 million per annum for whanau-centred family violence interventions

• $2.500 million per annum for Moving the Maori Nation - supporting Maori Culture and Sport

• approximately $2 million per annum for Rangatahi Maori Suicide Prevention, and

• $2.500 million per annum increase for Strengthening and Promoting Maori Tourism.

1.4 - Reconciliation of Changes in Appropriation Structure#

The table below shows the establishment of the Nga Ratonga mo nga Kaipupuri Whenua Maori (Services for Maori Land Owners) departmental output appropriation from 1 July 2018 with a transfer from the existing departmental output appropriation: Hotaka Ratonga Whenua Maori (Maori Land Service Programme), which will be disestablished from 1 July 2018. The transfer reflects the new direction of Te Ture Whenua Maori legislative changes.

Explanations of the reasons for changing the appropriation structure are noted in the details of each appropriation in Parts 2-4.
