Revenue from the Crown | 764,215 | 43,590 | 807,805 |
Revenue from Others | 1,974 | 437 | 2,411 |
Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $44.027 million to $810.216 million for 2017/18. The increase relates to:
- increased funding of $35 million transferred from other appropriations as NZDF has adjusted how its funding is allocated to reflect the activities completed by NZDF to deliver outputs
- increased funding of $9.028 million in Capital Charge as a result of the revaluation of assets, and
- increased funding of $437,000 as a result of increased cost recoveries from visiting foreign militaries participating in training activities.
This was partially offset by:
- a transfer of $438,000 to 'Military Operations in support of a Rules-Based International Order' to provide air support for deployments assisting maritime security in the Middle East.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#
This appropriation decreased by $8.480 million to $822.252 million in 2017/18. This decrease is a result of:
- reduced funding of $12 million transferred to 'Air Force Capabilities Prepared for Joint Operations and Other Tasks' as NZDF has adjusted how its funding is allocated to reflect the activities completed by NZDF to deliver outputs, and
- an expense transfer of $1.520 million from 2017/18 to future periods to enable the continuation and successful completion of the implementation of the Defence Force Logistics project.
This was partially offset by:
- increased funding of $5.040 million in Capital Charge as a result of the revaluation of assets.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#
This appropriation decreased by $4.727 million to $439.795 million in 2017/18. This decrease is a result of:
- reduced funding of $9 million transferred to 'Air Force Capabilities' as NZDF has adjusted how its funding is allocated to reflect the activities completed by NZDF to deliver outputs.
This was partially offset by:
- increased funding of $2.618 million in Capital Charge as a result of the revaluation of assets
- increased funding of $798,000 as a result of cost recoveries for services provided to foreign militaries
- increased funding of $432,000 for the delivery of the Limited Services Volunteer programme for the Ministry of Social Development, and
- increased funding of $425,000 for a new deployment of an inshore patrol vehicle to Fiji to support their regional security activities.
