THE SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES OF APPROPRIATIONS 2017/18 B.7 439VOTE LABOUR MARKET Reasons for Change in Appropriation This appropriation increased by $750,000 to $11.750 million for 2017/18 due to: $700,000 to reflect estimated salary costs for MBIE staff being seconded to other government agencies $300,000 to reflect the estimated property costs recovered from other agencies tenanting office space, and $250,000 to reflect corporate shared services recovery costs to the newly established Pike River Recovery Agency as agreed in the Master Services Agreement.

Performance information for this appropriation will be reported by the Minister of Employment in the Vote
Labour Market Non-Departmental Appropriations Report.
Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation was established in 2017/18 with funding of $5.275 million. This was due to new funding
of $13.275 million for the continuation of the He Poutama Rangatahi programme working to actively
support communities to help young people become ready for work while supporting employers to bring
local young people into employment in the four target regions.
This was partly offset by a transfer from 2017/18 to 2018/19 of $8 million to enable due contracting
processes to be followed for funding community groups and matches the timing of funding with the
capacity for providers to deliver on programmes that will commence but will not be able to be completed
