Answer

EECA: EECA did not submit any bids for Budget 26. EA: The Authority asked for and received a net increase in appropriation for 2026/27 of $0.3m as part of Budget 2026. The Authority does not participate in the typical Crown Budget process. Instead, the Authority engaged in its annual levy consultation process, inviting submissions from industry participants before submitting its funding request to the Minister. MBIE: I refer the Member to the Minister for Economic Growth’s answer to written parliamentary question 26590 (2026).
