Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increased by $3.460 million to $27.127 million in 2015/16 due to:

  • fiscally neutral adjustment of $2.280 million from other departmental outputs to align resources with the planned work programme, and
  • in December 2015 Cabinet agreed $1.980 million in new funding for costs of the Māori Land Service programme implementation up to July 2016.

The increases were partially offset by an expense transfer of $800,000 to 2016/17 for the Constitutional Advisory Panel.
