A hydrographic survey of Great Barrier Island was scheduled to take place over two financial years (2008/09 and 2009/10).
The work schedule for the survey was allocated to align with funding available within each year. The 2008/09 work schedule was completed early, therefore it was more cost-effective to allow the 2009/10 programme to also commence early, while the contracted vessel remained onsite.
Accordingly, a portion of the 2009/10 work programme was completed and costs expensed in the 2008/09 financial year. This has resulted in the output class exceeding appropriation in 2008/09. There will be compensating savings from the 2009/10 appropriation that will be offered back.
The resulting unappropriated expenditure of $0.670 million requires validation in terms of section 26C of the Public Finance Act.
