1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#

Output Expenses

Between 2012/13 and 2020/21, output expenses are forecast to increase by over $87 million (63%).

The increase largely relates to new funding appropriated over consecutive Budgets toward Whānau Ora outcomes achieved through a Whānau Ora approach - new funding of $2.500 million per annum in Budget 2017, $10 million per annum in Budget 2016, $12.440 million per annum in Budget 2015, and over $37 million from previous Budget announcements. There have also been contributions of over $9 million per annum from Vote Social Development to support Whānau Ora commissioning.

Funding for Māori Housing has also contributed to the increase ($5.735 million per annum in Budget 2015, $9.950 million per annum in Budget 2016, and $5 million per annum in Budget 2017).

There was $8.700 million dollars for the Māori Land Service programme in 2016/17, which creates a single year spike.

Appropriated funding for the revitalisation, promotion, and protection of the Māori language will grow from just under $75 million to over $95 million.

Other Expenses

Between 2012/13 and 2020/21 other expenditure is forecast to increase by just over $1 million (20%).

There is appropriated funds of $8 million for a Crown contribution to the Parihaka community which creates a single year spike in 2016/17.

Capital Expenditure

There is a spike of $2.614 million capital expenditure in 2016/17 as Te Puni Kokiri replaced its departmental vehicle fleet during the year.

Multi-Category Expenses and Capital Expenditure

Between 2012/13 and 2020/21 multi-category expenses are forecast to increase by over $19 million (40%).

The increase is mainly due to funding increases for the following:

• $30 million over 5 years for Māori Digital Technology Development

• funding increases up to $3.500 million per annum for whānau-centred family violence interventions

• $2.500 million per annum for Moving the Māori Nation - supporting Māori Culture and Sport

• approximately $2 million per annum for Rangatahi Māori Suicide Prevention, and

• $2.500 million per annum increase for Strengthening and Promoting Māori Tourism.

1.4 - Reconciliation of Changes in Appropriation Structure#

The tables in this part show the changes in appropriation structure resulting from the review undertaken in 2016/17 of the structure of appropriations in this Vote, for implementation from 2017/18 onwards. The changes are intended to:

• group similar appropriations with the same overarching objective into multi-category appropriations

• combine related appropriations into single appropriations, and

• create bilingual titles for all appropriations within Vote Māori Development.

This part contains the following tables:

• appropriation title changes from English to te reo Māori

• establishment of the Hauora me to Oranga Māori (Māori Health and Wellbeing) MCA

• establishment of the Whanaketanga Ohanga Māori (Māori Economic Development) MCA

• establishment of the Takatutanga me nga Haumitanga a-rohe (Regional Engagement and Investment) MCA

• merger of appropriations for Māori language governance, promotion, research and administration

• merger of Māori broadcasting appropriations

• merger of Māori Potential Fund appropriations

• merger of appropriations supporting community and Māori governance

• merger of Māori participation appropriations, and

• merger of Māori housing appropriations.

The table below shows the establishment of the Hauora me te Oranga Māori (Māori Health and Wellbeing) MCA from 1 July 2017 with transfers from existing appropriations Rangatahi Māori Suicide Prevention and Moving the Māori Nation - supporting Māori Culture and Sport. Both appropriations will cease to exist from 1 July 2017. These appropriations have the same overarching objective as the new MCA: to support the physical and mental wellbeing of Māori.

The table shows funding transfers from disestablished appropriations: Integrated Whānau Social Assistance; Operations Management; and Relationships and Information. These appropriations will cease to exist from 1 July 2017.

It also shows transfers from the Whānau Ora Commissioning Administration and Policy Advice and Related Outputs MCA to support Te Puni Kokiri's increased focus on regional engagement and investment. These appropriations have not been disestablished, but have had title changes to incorporate bilingual titles in English and te reo Māori.

The table below shows the restructuring of appropriations for Māori language governance, promotion, research and administration into the newly established Whakarauora Reo mo te Whānau, Hapu, Iwi me te Hapori (Family, Tribal and Community Māori Language Revitalisation) appropriation, and the newly established Whakarauora Reo mo te Motu (National Māori Language Revitalisation) appropriation.

The table below shows the merger of Māori broadcasting appropriations into a single, newly established, appropriation: Papaho Reo me nga Kaupapa Māori (Māori Broadcast and Streamed Services).

The table below shows the merger of the related Māori Potential Fund appropriations into a single, newly established, appropriation: Tahua Whanaketanga Māori (Māori Development Fund).

The table below shows the merger of related Māori participation appropriations into a single, newly established, appropriation: Whaiwahitanga Māori (Māori participation) appropriation.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#

This appropriation is new in 2017/18, being the result of the restructure of appropriations funding Māori economic development, and the transfer of funding from the disestablished appropriations: Strengthening and Promoting Māori Tourism; and Māori Digital Technology Development Fund.

In addition, new funding was appropriated through Budget 2017 to build Māori tourism operator capability and capacity.
