Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $2.066 million to $4.262 million which is partly ($1.103 million) due to the fit out of Radio New Zealand House, resulting from a need for more accommodation space for a Wellington-based Survey and Title office and an expanded Crown Property Centre of Expertise. The remaining increase of $963,000 is largely due to timing of the Vertical Datum Improvements and new capital work over Addressing Information Management Systems (AIMS).
