Reasons for Change in Appropriation

Cabinet decided not to proceed with the Clifford Bay ferry terminal, and work on this output class was concluded. Unspent funding that had previously been reprioritised to this output class was returned to the Policy Advice output class, and the balance of the unspent funding was returned as savings to the Crown.

Funding was reprioritised between other output classes to reflect their forecast costs. Costs varied due to changing circumstances during the year.

The overall increase in the appropriation of $798,000, from $31.143 million to $31.941 million is the net of:

  • $1.300 million carried forward from 2012/13 for the Clifford Bay and Policy Advice output classes (increase)
  • $500,000 of the carry forward reprioritised to a new non-departmental output to meet forecast costs (decrease)
  • $85,000 for the Clifford Bay output class was returned to the Crown (decrease)
  • $83,000 of additional revenue from third parties (increase).

During the year the Ministry has reviewed its performance measures and adjusted them as required. The changes shown are mainly wording, to better reflect what is being measured.

Part 3 - Details of Non-Departmental Appropriations#

Construction of Passing Opportunities on State Highway 2 between Napier and Gisborne (M72)

Scope of Appropriation

This appropriation is limited to the investigation, design and construction of passing opportunities on State highway 2 between Napier and Gisborne.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

The appropriation increased during the year by $350,000, from $3 million to $3.350 million due to an expense transfer from 2012/13.

Licensing Activities (M72)

Scope of Appropriation

This appropriation is limited to land transport licensing services, including driver licensing, not met by user fees.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

The appropriation increased during the year by $62,000, from $3.483 million to $3.545 million, as two of its elements were adjusted.

Driver licence stop order implementation was completed during 2013/14 at below expected cost, and the balance of $108,000 was reprioritised to drug and alcohol assessments to cover the expected costs.

  • $108,000 was reprioritised to here from driver license stop order implementation as noted above (increase)
  • $100,000 was an expense transfer from 2012/13 (increase)
  • $170,000 was reprioritised to here from elsewhere in Vote Transport (increase), and then

The increase in this appropriation during the year of $12.147 million, from $1,867.600 million to $1,879.747 million reflects changes in how the New Zealand Transport Agency proposes to spend its funding and the split between operating and capital expenditure.

During the year the performance measures were reviewed and adjusted as required. The changes shown are mainly wording, to better reflect what is being measured.

National Land Transport Programme - New Infrastructure for and Renewal of State Highways PLA (M72)

Scope of Appropriation

The estimated amount to be spent on capital works for new infrastructure and renewal of State Highways, as authorised by Section 9 (3) and (4) of the Land Transport Management Act 2003.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

The increase in the appropriation during the year of $15.217 million from $761.010 million to $776.227 million is due to:

  • $30 million for surplus funds accumulated in the National Land Transport Fund from previous years (increase)
  • $1.403 million from changes in the road tax revenue forecasts (increase)
  • $12.147 million transferred to the non-departmental output expense National Land Transport Programme PLA to reflect changes in how the New Zealand Transport Agency proposes to spend its funding and the split between operating and capital expenditure (decrease)
  • $4.039 million (net) appropriated to other outputs that are funded from road tax revenue (decrease).

The two National Land Transport Programme appropriations for operating and capital expenses vary in line with the road tax revenue available. Any decreases due to updated revenue forecasting are reflected in this capital appropriation rather than being spread across both appropriations. This is for simplicity and because the State Highways are the largest component of the Programme. This approach is consistent with prior and future years.
