1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
Departmental Output Expenses
Departmental output expenses have increased as a result of the establishment of the One Billion Trees Programme. Time limited funding for Rebuilding Forestry ETS Infrastructure results in a drop in expenditure in 2021/22.
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 $37 million in 2019/20 to $112 million in 2020/21 for the Forestry Grants and Partnership Programme.
