Notes for Appendix A
- Denotes nil
na Denotes not available.
.. Denotes not zero but rounded to zero.
* In order to avoid double counting of the NHT expenditure,
which is already shown in total near the top of the table, the total expenditure
shown for this theme does not include additional NHT expenditure.
- See table below outlining details of the AGO climate change programmes in 2003-04.
- The Australian Customs Service estimate comprises funding for the total output within Customs that provides environmental services as part of the activities associated with civil maritime surveillance.
- This budget reaffirms the landmark $200 million for a Basin-wide strategic approach to water over-allocation in the Murray-Darling Basin agreed at COAG in August 2003, announced in the 2003-04 Additional Estimates.
- There is no direct appropriation from the Australian Government to the Director of National Parks. Funding will be appropriated directly to the Department of the Environment and Heritage and transferred to the Director of National Parks ($36.0 million in 2004-05).
- Estimated expenditure on environmental activities undertaken by the BoM. This is approximately 5 per cent of the total BoM expenditure including the renewal of the World Class Weather Forecasting initiative.
