1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends
Departmental Output expenses

Non-Departmental Output Expenses
Non-departmental output expenses have increased significantly since the Vote's inception, primarily due to the expenditure within the Grants and Partnership Fund for the One Billion Trees Programme. Expenditure will decline after the 2020/21 year.
Non-Departmental Other Expenses
Non-departmental other expenses have increased significantly since the inception of Vote Forestry, primarily due to the establishment of the One Billion Trees Programme. Non-departmental other expenditure has increased from $23 million in 2018/19 to $97 million in 2019/20. This level of expenditure is expected to continue through to 2021/22.
