1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
Details of significant movements within each appropriation category are detailed below:
Output Expenses
The increase in 2015/16 was mainly due to the Flag Consideration Project, CabNet project implementation and supporting the regeneration of greater Christchurch.
The increase in 2016/17 was mainly due to the transfer of a full year of funding from the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) from 1 March 2016 to support ongoing Canterbury earthquake recovery work.
The decrease in 2017/18 was mainly due to the completion of some activities that transitioned from CERA to the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet following the disestablishment of CERA in April 2016.
The increase in 2018/19 was mainly due to the establishment of the Inquiry into EQC and legal expenses relating to the Canterbury earthquake recovery plus increased funding to Regenerate Christchurch.
The increase in 2019/20 is mainly due to the implementation of the Cyber Security Strategy 2018. Output expenses will decrease in the out years as Canterbury earthquake recovery activities come to an end and/or are transferred to local agencies, leaving a residual function in the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.
Other Expenses
The increase in 2015/16 was mainly due to an increase in the costs of Emergency Management as a result of floods in June 2015.
The increase in 2016/17 was mainly due to $36 million provided for reimbursement to local authorities for the expenses incurred by them in connection with the November 2016 Kaikoura earthquake and tsunami, and $3.2 million for the rehabilitation of Kaikoura Harbour.
The decrease in 2017/18 was due to a reduction in local authority emergency expenses following a spike in 2016/17 as a result of the November 2016 Kaikoura Earthquake. This was partially offset by payment of a $10 million contribution to the Christ Church Cathedral.
The increase in 2018/19 was mainly due to new funding for the fair value write-down of the suspensory loan for Christ Church Cathedral reinstatement and work delays in the restoration of the Kaikoura Three Waters Network. This was partially off-set by the contribution for Christ Church Cathedral being an appropriation in 2017/18 only.
The decrease in 2019/20 is due to the expected completion of a $15 million fair value write-down of a loan for the Christ Church Cathedral reinstatement and the completion of work related to the rehabilitation of Kaikoura Harbour.
Capital Expenditure
The decrease in 2015/16 was mainly due to the completion of the CabNet project, partially offset by the transfer of assets from CERA.
The decreases in 2016/17 and 2017/18 were mainly due to the cyclical nature of the routine replacement of the Department's fixed assets.
The increase in 2018/19 was mainly due to funding for the suspensory loan for Christ Church Cathedral reinstatement.
The decrease in 2019/20 is mainly due to the payment of the suspensory loan for Christ Church Cathedral reinstatement in 2018/19. Other general departmental capital expenditure is expected to decrease from 2019/20 to 2020/21 as the final capital items are purchased for the civil defence Fly-In Teams and expenditure returns to a steadier base. In out years departmental capital expenditure is expected to reduce reflecting the periodic fluctuations in the level of demand for capital equipment.
Multi-Category Output Expenses
The increase in 2015/16 was mainly due to increased operating expenditure in relation to the CabNet project implementation.
The increase in 2016/17 was mainly due to increased funding support to capability and capacity in Emergency Management and the implementation of the Emergency Mobile Alerting project.
The increase in 2017/18 was mainly due to the cost of the Emergency Mobile Alerting project, support for the Kaikoura earthquake and tsunami response, and costs of emergency sector support and development through the partnership programme with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
The decrease in 2018/19 was mainly due to the completion of the Emergency Mobile Alerting project.
The increase in 2019/20 and the out years is mainly due to the impact of the Funding for Better Responses to Natural Disasters and Other Emergencies initiatives.
Multi-Category Other Expenses
These appropriation categories were established in 2014/15 for the depreciation and maintenance of Government House.
Changes since 2015/16 have mainly been the result of the cyclical nature of Government House maintenance costs.
The increase in 2019/20 and the out years is due to the costs of managing the Tsunami Monitoring and Detection Network.
Multi-Category Capital Expenditure
This appropriation category was established in 2014/15 to preserve the functionality and value of Government House.
Changes since 2015/16 have mainly been the result of delays in securing contracts for ongoing capital works and maintenance, and the cyclical nature of the routine replacement of Government House fixed assets.
The increase for 2018/19 and 2019/20 is for the purchase of assets for a Tsunami monitoring and detection network. Expenditure is expected to return to a steady base for Government House from 2020/21.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
The decrease in this appropriation for 2019/20 is due to:
- $2.168 million decrease in costs of initiatives funded by other agencies and staff secondments to other entities
- $1.520 million decrease reflecting the reversal of expense transfers from 2017/18 to 2018/19 and the reversal of fiscally neutral transfers in 2018/19 from other appropriations to align resources with demand and activities, and
- $482,000 decrease in funding for policy advice for Child Poverty reduction and for the development of a Child Wellbeing strategy, which is planned for completion in the first part of 2019/20.
The decrease is partially offset by:
- $800,000 increase in funding for the 2016/17 policy initiative for the provision of intelligence assessments, and
- $82,000 increase reflecting the removal of a one-off funding transfer in 2017/18 to Vote Internal Affairs to contribute to infrastructure improvements.
