Changes since the 2004-05 Budget
The department changed its outputs for the 2004-05 additional estimates statement to accommodate the functions of the Australian Greenhouse Office and the National Oceans Office. Output 1.3 (originally just ‘coasts’) was revised to accommodate marine functions. Output 1.10 (‘climate change’) was added.
The department subsequently reviewed its outputs structure and developed a new structure in consultation with the minister and the Department of Finance and Administration. The new structure appeared in the 2005-06 portfolio budget statement. The department will report against the new structure in 2006. See also Managing the department.
