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.

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.

Between 2017/18 and 2020/21, Departmental Output Expenses will increase by $92.276 million (5.6%).

The increase largely relates to:

  • Safe, Confident and Resilient Communities: Investment in Policing $91.468 million - a package of initiatives across the justice sector that will significantly improve policing services for all New Zealanders. This includes funding for an additional 880 sworn officers and 245 non-sworn employees, and
  • new funding to give effect to the policy decisions on the Reform of Family Violence Law $7.997 million.

These are partially offset by:

  • time limited funding for various Justice Sector Fund initiatives $2.196 million
  • time limited funding for Iwi/Community Panels $2.730 million
  • completion of the deployment missions; Timor-Leste community policing support programme $1.166 million and Tonga police development programme $750,000 and the consequent discontinuation of funding from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade over this period, and
  • new funding for Next Generation Radio Network $1.230 million.

Departmental Output Expenses increased by $127.292 million (8.6%) between 2012/13 to 2016/17, mainly due to new funding for increased personnel costs $92.949 million and the Road Policing Programme $27.300 million.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation will decrease by $710,000 (0.5%) to $136.657 million for 2017/18.

The decrease mainly relates to:

  • one-off transfer in 2016/17 of $4.943 million from other appropriations to this appropriation in order to align resource requirements with demand and activities
  • reductions in capital charge rate with a corresponding decrease in this appropriation by $438,000, and
  • expense transfers from 2015/16 to 2016/17 for the HRMIS project $321,000 and the Child Protection Offender Register and Risk Management Framework projects $167,000.

These are partially offset by:

  • new funding for Safe, Confident and Resilient Communities: Investment in Policing $2.666 million, and
  • increased funding in 2017/18 for Employment Costs $2.533 million.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#

This appropriation will increase by $11.676 million (6.8%) to $182.247 million for 2017/18.

The increase mainly relates to:

  • one-off transfer in 2016/17 of $4.682 million from this appropriation to other appropriations in order to align resource requirements with demand and activities
  • new funding of $3.980 million for Police Vetting Service - cost recovery
  • increased funding in 2017/18 for Employment Costs $3.088 million
  • increased funding in 2017/18 for Iwi/Community Panels $1.730 million, and
  • increased funding from the Justice Sector Funds for the marae based service model at Nga Hau e Wha marae $1.175 million.

These are partially offset by:

  • one-off funding in 2016/17 from the Justice Sector Fund for the creation of an evidence based policing centre $1.220 million, and
  • reductions in capital charge rate with a corresponding decrease in this appropriation by $536,000.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#

This appropriation will increase by $3.024 million (1.9%) to $165.959 million in 2017/18. The increase mainly relates to:

  • new funding for Safe, Confident and Resilient Communities: Investment in Policing $5.133 million
  • one-off transfer in 2016/17 of $3.789 million to other appropriations in order to align resource requirements with demand and activities, and
  • increased funding in 2017/18 for Employment Costs $2.776 million.

These are partially offset by:

  • cessation of funding from MFAT for Solomon Islands deployment $4.460 million
  • reductions in capital charge rate with a corresponding decrease in this appropriation by $485,000, and
  • changes in funding profile for various initiatives, as shown in the Current and Past Policy Initiatives table above.
