ANNUAL APPROPRIATIONS
The Bureau of Meteorology is seeking a net increase of $0.308m in departmental outputs appropriation. The increase relates to the following items:
- $0.462m increase for the establishment of the National Tidal Centre;
- $0.282m reduction for Comcover premium rates; and
- $0.128m increase for implementation of the Government Procurement Chapter of the Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement.
The Bureau of Meteorology will also receive a departmental equity injection through Appropriation Bill (No.4) 2004-05 of $0.300m representing funds for replacement of assets for the National Tidal Centre. This funding will be fully offset through contributions from portfolios and agencies which benefit from the National Tidal Centre’s services.
Further details of these variations are provided in Section 2.
