Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation has increased by $3.341 million to $35.491 million due to:
- an increase of $2.507 million in revenue from other Departments. The largest contributors are the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade funding the Pacific Fale, and the Pay Equity and Gender Pay Gap Taskforce
- an increase of $414,000 in revenue from other parties. The largest contributor is the anticipated insurance payout for legal fees
- an increase of $415,000 from a capital to operating swap to allow LDC to spend their retention of surplus from 2018/19
- an increase of $227,000 from a capital to operating swap to allow LDC to utilise funds on the balance sheet which had been ring-fenced for fellowships.
These increases are offset by a decrease of $222,000 due to an operating to capital swap to fund the LDC refresh of furniture and IT equipment.
