Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation has decreased by $70.955 million to $196.954 million for 2019/20 due to:
- $70.133 million in expense and capital transfers of:
- $59.681 million across 2021/22 and 2022/23 for the Forestry Grants and Programmes to better reflect current contractual commitments of the Fund and forecast expenditure
- $9.702 million to 2020/21 for capital investments in Crown Forestry to cover contractual commitments for forest development occurring in outyears now the joint venture agreements have been confirmed
- $500,000 to 2020/21 for rework of legislative instruments with regards to the Climate Change Response Amendment Bill, and the Climate Change Regulations
- $250,000 to 2020/21 for sector investment research to now be undertaken in 2020/21 due to recruiting constraints.
- $2.704 million to reflect changes in the forecast expenditure profile for Crown Forestry.
The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $1.882 million through fiscally neutral transfers of:
- $1.410 million for overhead expenditure, including property lease costs
- $242,000 for employees seconded to other departments
- $230,000 for development of the Customer Relationship Management System.
