Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increased by $27,000 to $2.773 million in 2011/12. The increase relates to:

  • an expenditure transfer from 2010/11 for the Department-wide Leadership and Change Development Programme ($5,000)
  • a fiscally neutral realignment of costs to reflect changes in the Department's cost allocation model ($31,000).

This is partially offset by a decrease in funding relating to a retention of underspends resulting from savings initiatives in corporate functions in 2011/12 to fund the cost of change in the Department ($9,000).
