Reasons for Change in Appropriation#

This appropriation increased by $3.832 million to $29.118 million for 2017/18 due to:

  • $3.432 million transfer from 2016/17 to meet outstanding contractual commitments for the Twin Coast, Westland Wilderness, and Alps to Ocean great rides
  • $1.500 million from 2016/17 to support a second funding round for the Tourism Mid-Sized Facilities Grants
  • $1.500 million transfer from 2016/17 to reflect that none of the conditions for the release of the grant to construct the Hundertwasser Art Centre with Wairau Maori Art Gallery in Whangarei have been met, and
  • $400,000 transfer from 2016/17 to reflect the timing in the upgrade of the Ohau seal colony due to the Kaikoura earthquake work on this project was suspended until the nature of the repair work needed on State Highway 1 was determined.

These increases are partially offset by a $3 million transfer to 2018/19 due to the allocation not being spent in 2017/18 due to the timing of the development of suitable businesses cases by the New Zealand Cycle Trail (NZCT) Great Rides.
