Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $59.303 million to $115.739 million for 2018/19. The increase relates to:
- purchase of land and improvements operational increased by $30.610 million to $36.273 million due to expense transfers for purchases of land and improvements largely in relation to the Canterbury earthquake anchor projects. Additionally, funding increased due to Cabinet approving payments to former owners of uninsured and underinsured residential red zone properties
- initial write-down in the value of land and improvements increased by $25.626 million to $26.101 million due to the expected acquisition of land and improvements requiring a write-down to fair value
- purchase of land and improvements capital increased by $10.676 million to $28.676 million in 2018/19 due to expense transfers and Cabinet decisions relating to the purchase of land and improvements due to the Canterbury earthquakes
- loss on disposal of land and improvements increased to $7.033 million due to a fiscally neutral adjustment of $4.500 million and an expense transfer of $2.533 million relating to losses expected to be incurred on divestment of land
- mass movement of land increased to $2.800 million due to an expense transfer relating to the completion of a work programme being led by Christchurch City Council
- managing the recovery increased by $703,000 to $5.927 million in 2018/19 largely as a result of acquisition and disposal expenses, and
- write down in the value of land and improvements increased to $260,000 in 2018/19 due to a fiscally neutral adjustment for the demolition of buildings following the Canterbury earthquake.
The increase was partly offset by:
- management and clearance of land decreased by $12.388 million to $6.676 million in 2018/19 due to expense transfers to future years for work dependent on future use decisions
- clearance of built structures and associated works decreased by $5.507 million to $1.993 million in 2018/19 owing to expense transfers as a result of some demolition work being delayed or dependent of future use decisions, and
- acquisition and disposal expenses decreased to $510,000 due to spend being included in Managing the Recovery (Departmental Output Expense).

End of Year Performance Reporting
Performance information for this appropriation will be reported by Land Information New Zealand in the 2018/19 Annual Report.
Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $5.773 million to $30.394 million in 2018/19. The Overseas Investment Amendment Act 2018 came into force on 22 October 2018. Under the new Act, overseas persons require consent to buy a home to live in, develop residential land, buy forestry, invest in significant business assets, and invest in other sensitive land.
The appropriation increase relates to anticipated higher costs of administering the new regime. Costs include assessing and approving consents and costs associated with monitoring and enforcing the regime. This is to ensure applicants give truthful and complete information about themselves and their plans, and keep the commitments they make when they apply for consent.
