Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increased by $507.900 million to $2,839.900 million for 2018/19 due to changes in how the New Zealand Transport Agency proposes to spend National Land Transport funding, with consequent changes to the split between operating and capital expenditure, and the spread of expenditure across years. The new Government Policy Statement and subsequent National Land Transport Programme 2018 - 2021, which was adopted on 1 September 2018 and is effective for the years 2018/19 to 2020/21, has impacted on the amounts and types of activities the National Land Transport funding is spent on. This is reflected in the Components of the Appropriation table above.
