Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation will decrease by $1.099 million to $58.022 million in 2010/11. This is due to: a reallocation of revenue Crown funded resources between output expenses ($47,000); and reduced services to other public sector agencies ($1.114 million). These changes are offset by an increase in Government Superannuation Fund employer contributions from 6% to 10.7% funded from revenue Crown ($62,000).
