Notes: The Planning Group budget deficit is currently being mitigated by a 2018-19 State Budget allocation
for Resourcing Planning for Growth. A request for funding beyond 2018-19 is being prepared, however if this
request is not approved there will be a budget deficit into the future.

1 Planning is currently working on project budget based on cabinet submission from May 2018 and specific changes requested by the Minister following
Secretary’s approval. To deliver on revised scope these costs will far exceed the reprioritisation.
2 Post the 28/6/18 SET meeting the Minister has requested expansion of this work and that funding be identified for this project. Planning is currently
working on revised project budget and potential funding sources.
