1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
Non-departmental output expenses increases from $2.059 million in 2016/17 to $2.809 million in 2017/18 due to:
- an in-principle expense transfer of $400,000 from 2016/17 to 2017/18. This relates to the Pacific Employment Support Services contracts. These contracts have been set up as two-year outcome based contracts from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2018. The outcomes delivered and thus payments made will not be evenly spread over the two years with about $400,000 of this year's appropriation now expected to be delivered in 2017/18
- an appropriation of $50,000 for the ASB Polyfest event, which ended in 2016/17.
Departmental multi-category output expenses increases from $7.058 million in 2016/17 to $7.292 million in 2017/18 due to:
- one-year funding in 2016/17 which ended in 2016/17. This funding was for viability studies for the Pacific Cultural centre ($250,000) and for Project Tatupu ($250,000) which investigated regional housing and employment opportunities for Pacific peoples
- an increase of $750,000 from the budget initiative Ministry For Pacific Peoples - Increasing Capability And Capacity.
