Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increased by $785,000 to $11.569 million for 2018/19 due to:

  • $800,000 for a transfer from 2017/18 to support the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery

Scope of Appropriation
This appropriation is limited to supporting the Inquiry into EQC.
Reasons for Change in Appropriation
