Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation decreased by $145,000 to $4.832 million for 2016/17 due to:

  • expense transfers to 2017/18 relating to policy projects that will be completed next year ($147,000)
  • a reduction in the capital charge rate for all departments ($5,000).

This was partially offset by departmental contributions received for staff on secondment to other agencies ($7,000).
