Reasons for Change in Appropriation

Total Appropriation 17,451 13,158 30,609
Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increased by $13.158 million to $30.609 million for 2019/20 due to:

  • a $14.000 million increase to release contingency funding for the second tranche of the Science Cooperation with Singapore;
  • a $7.000 million increase to reprioritise funds from the Research, Science and Innovation portfolio to make the most of investment in science and innovation in light of emerging opportunities; and
  • a $3.158 million increase as a result of delays in two programmes that needed to engage further between the New Zealand and international partner research communities, meaning funding has been moved from 2018/19 to 2019/20.

This increase is partially offset by a $11.000 million decrease due to delays within various Catalyst Fund projects due to the ability of councils to engage contractors, transferring funding into 2020/21 onwards.

This increase is partially offset by:

  • a $15.000 million decrease due to delays within various Tourism Infrastructure Fund projects due to the ability of councils to engage contractors, transferring funding into 2020/21 onwards;

  • a $0.710 million increase to enable MBIE to establish a team to manage and operationalise changes to the responsible camping system;
  • a $0.700 million increase to realign funding for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Maori Spectrum Working Group;
  • a $0.500 million increase as part of the reprioritisation of funding within the Research, Science and Innovation portfolio;
  • a $0.300 million increase for funding the closing ceremony of China-New Zealand Year of Tourism which fell in the 2019/20 financial year;

These increases were offset by a $0.133 million decrease to reallocate funding for the implementation and on-going costs of a new payroll system (approved through Budget 2019) to better reflect where operational expenses will be incurred.
