Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation decreased by $2.100 million to $11.131 million for 2018/19 due to:
- fiscally neutral adjustments totalling $1.700 million to other Departmental output expenses in 2018/19 to realign budgets with work plans (decrease), and
- a reduction in third party revenue of $400,000 (decrease).
During the year there was a transfer of $5.300 million from the Policy Advice category to the Statutory Planning, Services to Ministers and Statutory Bodies category; to more closely align to actual expenditure.
