Explanations of major changes in the Supplementary Estimates:

Revenue Crown

Revenue Crown was reduced in line with the net reduction in Revenue Crown-funded expenses, as described below.

Revenue other

Revenue other was reforecast based on an updated estimate of transaction volumes. LINZ transaction volumes are directly related to the level of activity in the property market, and the reduction in forecast for 2008/09 reflects the current cyclical downturn.

Total expenditure

The decrease is the net result of:

  • expense transfers into 2008/09, primarily for land tenure reform and the 100% e-lodgement project, of $6.300 million
  • expense transfers from 2008/09 to 2009/10, primarily for the Transpower project, of $10.100 million
  • new funding, being funding carried back for the 100% e-lodgement project, and the New Zealand Geographic Board, of $2.100 million, and
  • savings offered back to the Government of $3.400 million.
