- a $50,000 transfer from 2015/16 to reflect the delay in the Crown's review work in relation to the New Zealand International Convention Centre.
The above increases are partially offset by the following decreases:
- a $1.200 million transfer to the Sector Analysis and Facilitation MCA to meet the increasing data needs
- a $500,000 transfer to the Management of the Crown Minerals appropriation to improve the processing and storage of seismic data, developing and maintaining a repository of mines plans (jointly with WorkSafe) and strengthening the minerals compliance people and systems capability

- a $550,000 transfer to Science and Innovation: Contract Management MCA to fund New Zealand's subscription to, and further development of, the ORCID database of researchers and research outputs.
