Investment in non-departmental output expenses decreased in 2014/15 relative to 2013/14, as Sport New Zealand was granted an additional one-off $7 million in 2013/14 to invest in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 and establish 2015 World Cup Offices for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 and the Under 20 FIFA World Cup 2015.
During 2010/11 and 2011/12 additional ongoing funding was provided to support the High Performance Sport strategy.
Other Expenses
During 2010/11 funding was reprioritised from Sport and Recreation Programmes and Vote Economic Development to establish a new non-departmental other expense to provide a loan to Rowing New Zealand.
During 2011/12, a one-off payment was made to Rugby New Zealand 2011 to meet the final forecast losses from the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
