Reasons for Change in Appropriation#

This appropriation increased by $3.476 million to $56.772 million for 2016/17 due to:

  • a $2.400 million to provide support for outer space and high altitude activities
  • a $1.900 million transfer from 2015/16 to reflect some delayed activities in the Regional Growth programme
  • a $500,000 transfer from 2015/16 to reflect the timing in the review of the creative sector
  • a $300,000 business support package as a result of the Hurunui/Kaikoura earthquakes
  • a $300,000 transfer from 2015/16 to reflect the timing in the Review of Minerals and Petroleum Resource allocation processes
  • a $300,000 transfer from 2015/16 to reflect elements of the China Visitor Insight project being delayed
  • a $300,000 transfer from the Sector Analysis and Facilitation MCA to support the Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEETs) programme
  • a $137,000 transfer from 2015/16 to reflect the timing of The Auckland Co-Design Lab
  • a $50,000 transfer from 2015/16 to reflect the delay in the Crown's review work in relation to the New Zealand International Convention Centre.

The above increases are partially offset by the following decreases:

  • a $1.200 million transfer to the Sector Analysis and Facilitation MCA to meet the increasing data needs
  • a $500,000 transfer to the Management of the Crown Minerals appropriation to improve the processing and storage of seismic data, developing and maintaining a repository of mines plans (jointly with WorkSafe) and strengthening the minerals compliance people and systems capability
  • a $300,000 transfer to 2017/18 to host the 54th APEC Energy Working Group meeting
  • a $163,000 transfer to Property Management Services to support the Christchurch Integrated Government Accommodation (CIGA) programme funding shortfall
  • a $160,000 transfer to Property Management within the State Sector appropriation to support the delay in costs of the Wellington Accommodation Project 2 (WAP2) arising from the Hurunui/Kaikoura earthquakes
  • a $154,000 reduction to reflect that MBIE is no longer receiving certain funds from other departments and third parties
  • a $60,000 contribution to the Disaster Relief Fund (in Vote Prime Minister and Cabinet) to support rural and urban business support affected by cyclones Debbie and Cook.

  • At least 90% of contracts monitored

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#

This appropriation increased by $1.932 million to $28.996 million for 2016/17 due to:

  • $200,000 transfer from 2015/16 to reflect the rescheduled timing of the redevelopment of the Curious Minds website.

These increases are partially offset by a decrease of $2.400 million to Policy Advice and Related Outputs MCA - Policy Advice - Science and Innovation category to assist with the formation of the NZ Space Agency, and $52,000 to reflect the reduction of the Capital Charge rate from 8% to 6%.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#

  • a $600,000 transfer to Vote Lands to assist with a joint project that will inform a future business case for an on-going service for the New Zealand region
  • a $550,000 transfer to Science and Innovation: Contract Management MCA to fund New Zealand's subscription to, and further development of, the ORCID database of researchers and research outputs.

The above decreases is partially offset by a $12.084 million from 2015/16 to reflect that Contract payments for 2015/16 were being deferred and that the transfer was required to enable decisions on future investment in national genomics research infrastructure.
